| New projects this year will focus on project-based learning with web page creation. Students will develop different web based projects. These web based projects will have two overall goals (1) to have students develop computer skills and subject knowledge to create a web based project and (2 the most appropriate of these web based projects will be refined and used as teaching aids in other classes. Expectations are for a possible UOP treating this methodology and technology and possible presentations at a professional meetings. At this time we have three proposals for specific project-based learning: |
Objective: Students will create a web-based project focusing on Australia and islands of the world. First students will review (they learned basics last year) basic browsing skills. They will then create a personal web page. Research will then begin on their individual projects. Students will research these web sources as well as other resources, compile information, view and edit pictures and other graphics, and compose reports, poetry and art work illustrating their findings. A web page of their project linked to the student's home page will be created that will contain links to sources on Australia and islands of the world, pictures taken by students, digital videos, PowerPoint presentations and illustrations created in paint and draw programs As the project develops students will learn how to use scanners, digital cameras, digital video and incorporate these elements of technology into their web-based projects.
Proposal from Mrs.
Karen Girardi:
Objective: Students will create a web-based project focusing
on oceanography. First students will learn basic computer and browsing
skills. They will then create a personal web page. Research
will then begin on their individual oceanography projects. Students
will research these web sources as well as other resources, compile information,
view and edit pictures and other graphics, and compose reports, poetry
and art work illustrating their findings. A project page of their project
linked to the student's home page will be created that will contain links
to sources on their oceanography project, pictures taken by students, digital
videos, PowerPoint presentations and illustrations created in paint and
draw programs. As the project develops students will learn how to
use scanners, digital cameras,
digital video
and incorporate these elements of technology into Powerpoint and their
web-based projects pages.
Proposal from
Mr. Stiern:
Objective: Students will create a web-based project focusing
on famous artists and greek mythology. First students will review (they
learned last year) basic computer and browsing skills. They will
then create a personal web page using Netscape Navigator. Research
will then begin on their individual artists and greek mythology.
Students will research web sources as well as other resources compile information,
view and edit pictures and other graphics, and compose reports, poetry
and art work. A project page of their project linked to the student's home
page and to the groups project page will be created that will contain links
to sources on their history project, pictures taken by students, digital
videos and illustrations created in paint and draw programs.
As the project develops students will learn how to use scanners, digital
cameras, digital video and incorporate these elements of technology into
their web-based projects. An additional focus for this year has been storyboarding,
creation and editing videos on student concieved projects.
