08+Final+Project+Overview+&+Tech+Session

Prior to meeting face-to-face, remind your students to bring their laptops to class this week. They will find it very useful!

The in-class time will be used to review the final project requirements in detail. As a result of today's session, students should have a deep understanding of the final project, the technology tools available to them, and know where to find different examples of past final projects. Additionally, they should begin considering possible topics for their final project. Take students to our Tech Tools page on our public website and show the quick tutorial engaging tech tools videos created just for our students.

As you prepare to discuss the final project with you class, it's important to delineate your expectations. It is even more important to set //positive// expectations. Tell students about previous students' successes with the final project; tell them you are confident in their abilities to craft an excellent project; let them know you look forward to seeing their ideas. Your expectations of your students will greatly influence their achievement in your class. Expectations should not be confused with standards. Standards are levels of achievement. Teachers who practice positive expectations will help their students reach high standards. (Wong, p. 37)
