In the begining of the class, we will have Ms. Gretchen Thomas to talk to you about the class that she is going to offer next fall. She is a great teacher and a nice person to work with. If you take her class, I am sure that you will LOVE her.

Final Reflection
After we went through the assignment description for your final refelction, by now you should be clear about what to write. A good tip for you is always go back to the blog that I posted in the begining of the semester about learning puzzle and Loti level. You will get a lot out from information there.

Final Portfolio
It's time to finish up your portfolio. View the project description to see what will be graded. All of your pages should be completed by next Monday (April 30). After you complete your entire portfolio, you will need to proofread your pages and ensure that all of your links work. For both your final reflection and final portfolio, you can not use the late pass. They will need to be submitted by the due day on time.

Last Day of Our Class -- Final Showcase
We have several things to complete on Monday. Do you still remember your iMovie project? Yes, we will be watching your movie. After that, you are going to view the work of your classmates and vote on the portfolio that is the most representative of the work that is completed in EDIT 2000. Prizes will be awarded. Make a plan how you will decorate your station and how you will encourage fellow students to view your stations.

2. Continue to finish up your final portfolio and start to plan how to decorate your stations

Final Reflection
It has been a long way for you to go through many projects in our class. Now we are moving toward the end of the semester. I believe you learned a lot from the projects.

In today's class, let's continue to work on the rest of three sections. In the Utilize Media and Materials, make sure that you address 5Ps. The next section is the largest section in your Capstone project, which you need to indicate the sequential order of your instruction. Last session, evaluate and revise, needs your clear plan of how to evaluate the learners, the instructors, and media use. Always visit our project description page to ensure that you are on the right track.

For Next Monday's Class:
The Capstone project will be due next Monday at the begining of the class. In addition to the completion of the GooglePage, you also need to bring a hardcopy of your final product. If you fail to bring your copy, your final product will not be accepted.

Day 39 - Capstone 2

iMovie Project
For those who still have mini tape with you, please return the tape to me.

Capstone Project
From Monday's class, you've learned what the ASSURE model is and what the required components are. Today, you will begin to add information pertinent to your "lesson" to the ASSURE model template. Let's target at finishing the first three components before Friday's class. Again, if you have any questions on creating your lesson plan, use the references that I have provided, such as the handouts given out last Friday and the website.

Friday's Class:
Complete the first three components: Analyze learners, State objectives, and Select Methods, Media, and Materials.

Day 38 - Capstone 1

iMovie Project
Today is the due day for your iMovie project, make sure that you send the link to your iMovie page to yichunhong@gmail.com with subject as iMovie_yoursessioin_yourname.

Introduction to Capstone Project
There are many different lesson plan formats, but one that helps to organize teaching and learning through the use of technologym is the ASSURE model:
A: Analyze Learners
S: State Objectives
S: Select the Methods, Media, and Materials
U: Utilize Media and Materials
R: Require Learner Participation
E: Evaluate and Revise
For your Capstone Project, you will select one of the projects you created this semester and write an original lesson plan that uses that project to teach a Georgia Performance Standard. You will use the ASSURE model as your lesson plan format. The instructor in IT program, Gretchen Thomas have created a web page that will walk you through the development process step-by-step. The handout that I gave it to you last Friday can be very helpful as well. You can view the project description and grading rubric.Your final product (due on Monday, April 23) will be the completed instructional plan template. It will be most likely 3-4 pages long. The largest section of your template should be the "Require Learner Participation" section, as this is where you will describe students' actual learning activities -- what your learners will be doing.

For Wednesday's Class:
1. Begin working on your lesson plan with using ASSURE model. Go to the Capstone project description page to download the template.
