Class 39: Introduction to Capstone

Today is the due date for your WebQuest project.

Because I forgot to mention the WebCT submission setting, the due time is extended to tomorrow, Saturday, 23:50.

Please upload:

1. A Word Document including all your webCT writing (Introduction, Tasks, Process, Resources, Conclusion, Evaluation, and Teacher page)

2. A word document of your webQuest reflection page.

Today we start to introduce the Capstone project.


There are many different lesson plan formats, but one that helps
to organize teaching and learning through the use of technology
is the ASSURE model:
A: Analyze Learners
S: State Objectives
S: Select the Media, Methods, and Materials
U: Utilize Media, Methods, and Materials
R: Require Learner Participation
E: Evaluate and Revise

Examples:
Lesson Plan -- on The Giver: A Novel by Lois Lowry

For your Capstone Project for the course, 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. You can view the actual
project description
and grading rubric.

Your final product of Capstone (due Monday, April 28th) will be the completed
instructional plan template. It will most likely by 3-4 pages long. The
largest section of your template should be the "Require Learner
Participation" section, as this is where you will describe your actual
learning activity -- what your learners will be doing.
