ECOMP 7010: Final Project

Directions: You will choose one current, or emerging technology, or Internet resource, and incorporate it into a lesson using a constructivist approach. Your final project needs to include the following:

1. A brief statement of your goal for this lesson.
2. A description of your school setting as it relates to your lesson, including curriculum requirements, technology access, the number of students involved and anything about your students that would be relevant.
3. Three of the standards (state or national) the lesson will address.
4. A description of the existing lesson, or proposed lesson, that you’ll be infusing additional technology into, including goals, time frame, class groupings, technology used.
5. The questions you will pose to your students and the tasks you will ask them to do. This is the most important part of your project and will demonstrate your creativity and imagination.  You will reference the specific use of the technology or Internet resource, and how your students will do their information gathering, research and problem solving.  Include annotated links where needed to cite resources.
6. A sample project.  This will be created by you, and will serve as a model for your students.  The link to the project, or the attached document, must be included in your project.
7. Include at least 2 screen shots or other images. Annotated references should be listed at the end.

This American Life - Episode #207: Special Ed

Originally aired in 2002, this episode contains stories about people who were told that they're different. But what is 'different' really? Sometimes different can bring unique a perspective to a situation, sometimes different is difficult to understand, and sometimes different can be a complete mystery to all involved.
