- From
snowboarding to skysurfing, extreme sports
have stretched people's ideas about
sports. We need "extreme thinking" to take
our technology-rich student projects to
the next level. It's time to rethink our
assignments and redesign our assessments.
Generative and interactive projects
challenge students to seek out new ideas,
build content connections, collaborative
with others, and develop flexible
communications. This session will provide
practical ideas for "raising the bar" on
student, technology-rich projects as
teachers and learners work together to
transform the learning environment. We'll
examine levels of complexity in student
products and explore what's realistic in
terms of matching standards and activities
with time and resources. From web projects
to PowerPoint presentations, we'll discuss
options for evaluating collaborative,
interactive, and ongoing
projects.
