Whirlwind Romance with a New Project
I have gathered resources and drafted prompts to use as part of my Turtle of Oman literature project. I will definitely be seeing that project work again -- later this year -- but as I read more about personalized learning I just didn't feel that my literature project was Mr. Right after all. For the last few days I have been flirting with a new project and I just decided to jump in. My new project is a Visual Presentation Toolkit. One part of my work with EMES learners -- both in library class and as part of tech integration work in the classroom -- is supporting their creation of visual presentations to express their ideas. EMES students create book trailers, persuasive presentations, informational presentations, PSAs, and more. In any class there are students with more technology experience than others and it is always a challenge in opening up lots of options to allow for student choice and still being able to support all learners with the basics of understanding and respecting copyright, manipulating text, adding audio, etc. Creating a toolkit will allow me to support more personalization of the learning experience as students will be able to choose to access on-demand tutorials and resources or access direct group instruction. Students who are absent or would like a reminder will also be able to use the toolkit. As part of this work I want use Google forms for exit tickets to be able to quickly check-in to see where learners are on their project work.
