The Project

Step 5 of 6

Driving Question: How can you help students achieve deep learning by designing a unit from one of the five models of this workshop?

Issue Analysis

To get started, it is important to provide you with a framework. This framework uses the following ideas:

1. Grab your team.

2. Brainstorm a topic/interdisciplinary unit for study for your students.

3. Brainstorm the end goal- what do you want students to know and be able to do; Design the Assessment. Write the learning objectives from the assessment. See the shared document file below (Google or Microsoft Office).

4. Use the learning based information (from presentation and on the Google Site (and beyond) to design a lesson that leads to your goal. (Design=Outline the unit/topic to be studied. Develop the guiding ideas; List the day-by-day activities and expectations. This is not to be a finished or polished product.)

5. Select potential technologies (see the Mega List) students can utilize.

6. Develop a short video (PowToon, smartphone video, etc.) to explain your concept. (List of Tools)

7. Post the ‘video’ (to get feedback on the idea).

8. Post the link on Twitter with the conference hashtag.
