The goal of this course is to instruct classroom teachers on how to increase student support through project based learning.   Teachers will leave this course with products they can use in the classroom.  Each teacher will create a student presentational sample, a student publication sample, student support materials and a teacher support sample.  Evaluation tools will also be presented.

 

Day 1:  Participants will begin the course by creating a unit based on the “backwards design” methodology.  Participants will decide on a unit topic and create some essential and unit questions.  Participants will also explore internet search strategies and the evaluation of websites.

 

Day 2:  Participants will become familiar with Microsoft PowerPoint®. This tool will be used to design, create, share and deliver presentations. Participants will create a student-sample presentation and evaluation tool using Microsoft PowerPoint®. The use of storyboards will also be discussed.

 

Day3:  Participants will become familiar with Microsoft Publisher®.  With this tool participants will create a student-sample brochure, newsletter, or flyer.  An evaluation tool for this product will also be created.

 

Day 4:  Participants will become familiar with using Word to create student support materials.

Any document that supports student learning in the classroom is considered a support document. Examples include tests, quizzes, worksheets, rubrics, presentations, etc.  Participants will explore the use of drop down menus and and other forms available through Word.
