Projects

Articles
     To supplement our textbooks and our own knowledge and experiences through discussions, and to enhance our lifelong learning skills, we will read, review and report on a couple articles. You can choose the articles within a general topic. It will benefit all of us if we share the reviews and it will strengthen our formal writing skills if we present them in APA format.

Article One - Motivation, Engaging the Learner
     - Write a review on a journal aritcle about "motivation in education." Write it in a word document and post it in Moodle, Week Three. Consider some of the following questions to help you do your journal search. Always focus your searches on your specific interests and content area. "What motivates a student to learn? What limits a student from learning? How can we design instruction to help motivate the student to learn? What technological tools can we use to motivate students? Does technology actually motivate and advance learning? This is due April 11.

     

Article Two - Assessing the Learning
     A second professional journal article will be on the a topic related to the assessing learners. There are numerous thoughts around how and why do we assess learning. While politics easily enters into thisdiscussion, just the theory of assessment in itself offers us enough material for extensive discussion.
Again read an article, summarize it content and write a reflection. For this review let's set the due date as May 7.
