Module 1

•How can projects help my students meet standards and develop 21st century skills?



Good projects make learning real world. Students see how their learning is important to their lives. Many standards from across the curriculum can be imbedded into one big project. Also, students can learn and be assessed using technology. Working together and sharing their ideas are very 21st century.





•How can I use projects to enhance student learning?
Students will be more interested when it is a project. Projects also allow students to gear their learning toward their interests. It is deeper when it goes beyond paper and pencil.





This module has made me think about my role as an instructional designer in the following ways...
I need to think about how to teach my students more creatively. I can combine curriculum and incorporate technology in a variety of ways. I have to give more control over to the students, which will be a challenge for me.
