When it comes to chapter 5 project management strategies for teachers and learners their somethings are outlined. And I feel that gathering resources is super important. So before you start a project you should take a look at your inventory and see what supplies you need tools brother materials that are available to your school or maybe even offered from parents of your classmates or other supporters. Then you can make a website or class newsletter and post even a wish list of things you need in that newsletter that way if pans of extra are other people can bring him donate or recycle other objects to your classroom that will be beneficial and save money and time.
When it comes to management of your time and of your students need to make sure that your superflexible. Also it is important that you map out what children should get done each day in class so that the students don't end at a weird place and have to pick up on it tomorrow. It's good to have the sections broken down. Also you should make tools for communicating with the teacher and other students about the project. Make methods for getting resources to the students. Then you will need collaboration tools for the students, ways to get feedback to the students through self reflections, team input, and teachers advice.
As in all this class is completely about technology in the classroom. The chapter outlines some things that you can use in the classroom. Some good examples are like what we're doing in this class a blog is an easy way to edit and add things so everyone can see. Also the book suggests using wiki a simple webpage you just can share the content and collaborate.
This chapter is very useful for our project. We know we have to incorporate technology in the classroom for a project and we plan on using Skype and email things like that so the students can communicate with their ePals are using technology. They can also share their information using websites or blogs.
Gathering resources is extremely important! Teachers need to be prepared before assigning a project to their students. Knowing what resources you have and what resources you need is crucial. I agree with the fact that teachers need to be flexible when it comes to management. It is also an important point to bring up about how teachers need to make sure that they come up with some sort of way of giving feedback to their students. Giving feedback to students lets them know what they are doing a good job with and where they need improvement.
