This first project is for you to develop a digital expression of your learning environment selecting one of four scenarios to complete and reflect on. How do you communicate to your students and parents what the roles of student and teacher are - and the expectations for learning - in your classroom? This develops your skills in both expressing your vision to stakeholders, as well as using digital tools to do so.
Moving beyond Remind, Class Dojo, and Bloomz, for example - how do you build a more robust expression of you as a teacher and your students as learners? How can you embed these programs in something larger?
Please read the assignment guide before emailing me with questions- and make sure you fully engage the entirety of the Unit to complete this project well! Each week will provide you with more material to use for your completed and submitted Project.

AI Policy Point: If you use AI to complete this, I really wouldn't, it does not do a good job of completing this particular project as it is a personal representtion of your classroom philosophy of education. You may use it for layout advice, arrangement help- but the content needs to come from you and your experiences, and relation to all 4 weeks of course readings and other material.
