Your Project for Fall of 2003:
Progress check: Set up a Welcome page for your course that you will put into place this fall.
Software chosen: (DreamWeaver, FrontPage, Blackboard, etc)
What school-specific technology issues do participants have?
Progress check: Set up a WarmUp Form Page
Goals: (Turn in a short report or web site URL by end
of course detailing the following)
Pick three lesson topics from your class
Define your learning goals / objectives for these three lessons
List areas students have difficulty understanding
Write 3 Warm Up assignments (3 questions each) for each lesson
At least 2 questions per Warm Up should be open-ended
For your report, Indicate which "implicit reasoning skill" (categories identified by Arons), or which aspects of Revised Bloom's Taxonomy were used when formulating these questions
Implementation
Upload Warm Up form to your school server. Test before using.
Make students aware of course webpage, and assign Warm Ups in appropriate lessons. Specify guidelines for grammar, working together, etc.
Collect student submissions and determine from their responses how you would tailor classroom discussion based on their prior knowledge
Use selected, anonymous (nickname) student responses in your classroom discussion
Assessment and follow up
Meet for 1 afternoon in the fall to discuss progress (September 20 or October 11)
Design a survey for your class to assess JiTTs usefulness in your classroom
Study skills, class preparation, motivation, content knowledge
We might want to develop 1 survey for our whole group, or one per school.
