Transformation, One Lesson At A Time
Have you decided you want a change in your curriculum and don’t know where to start? Or feel overwhelmed by all of the new ideas out there? The Transformation, One Lesson At A Time eCourse will help you start small and integrate 21st Century concepts into one lesson or activity.
Participants will chose a lesson or activity that is relevant to their classroom. Throughout the 5 weeks, the lesson will be transformed through the exploration and integration of the following topics:
- Understanding by Design and Student Centered Learning
- Digitial Citizenship
- National Educational Technology Standards(NETS) for Students
- A variety of web 2.0 tools
- Sharing student work through the internet
- Assessment
Project-Based Writing
“If it doesn’t exist outside of school, then it isn’t worthy enough to be taught within school.”
Project-Based Writing is an ecourse that focuses on this mantra and the methods that teachers can use to follow through with its promise. Writing is universal, and all subject areas can integrate the different genres in authentic ways to make their content more meaningful.
In this 6-week program, participants will be given examples of project-based writing units across the disciplines, and will be given the opportunity to develop their own unit, receive feedback, and share with others, walking away with multiple units that can be utilized in their classroom both Someday and Monday.
