Semester Project
EDCI 4993, Fall 1998



Problem:

There is no problem statement for the Semester Project. This is the result of the open nature of what can be considered for this work. What is important is that you decide on a project, get it approved, and begin work. This is called a semester project because it is expected that you will do work throughout the entire semester. It is also expected that this project will reflect many of the objectives for this class. Another important consideration for your project is to produce a product that can be used in your (future) classroom, such as a unit plan. Most important, it is expected that you will make use of the a significant number of the computer skills listed in the objectives and evaluation part of the syllabus.

Unit Plans ... and more.

Electronic Portfolio Bookmarks ... and more.


Assignment:

It is strongly recommended that you form groups (of 3 or 4) to work on the semester project, but an individual with a good idea can work alone. Groups need to be formed as soon as possible. Groups for semester project need not be the same as groups formed for class presentations. See Syllabus for due dates. Topics MUST be approved, see Syllabus for due date.

A one page outline of your project is due at the beginning of class (4:30 PM) as documented in the syllabus. Please note, this is one outline per group, NOT an outline from each group member.

Semester Projects are due at the beginning of class (4:30 PM) on Monday, November 31. You should not be as concerned with the size of your project as with its content and scope. Each time you begin to panic about your semester project, please re-read the objectives for this class -- this is where you will find your topic.

I don't expect your project ot be composed of some long report, I expect it to reflect what you learned.
