Project Abstract
I am proposing a program that will allow students to
acquire a deeper knowledge of the subjects they are studying in school
using technology based tools. The sessions would be held either in the
media center or in the computer lab.
Students would be able to use a variety
of tools to develop the projects. The projects could be individual or
collaborative.
In addition, resources should be made available to
students both before and after school in the media center so that
students without computers at home have the opportunity to complete
their projects. Additional computing resources could be made available
at the community library.
Students with receptive teachers could use the
projects either as a means of meeting a class requirement or as a means
of gaining extra credit in the classroom. Students who are having
difficulty in a subject should be encouraged, but not required to come
to the sessions.
Some of the projects that students would be able to
participate in include developing podcasts, Wikis, web pages, multimedia
projects and 3D models. The list is not inclusive, and students would be
able to submit ideas of their own for completion of projects.
High school students could be after school mentors
for middle school students. Could do either at WSHS or CGMS.
