Final Project Ideas

It's almost final project time.  Here are two samples that you can use for inspiration.

Here's another model format for your final project. Notice that it contains all of the necessary elements, but is presented in a different fashion than the first sample.

The final format is up to you, as long as you incorporate the following elements:

Grade Level  

Content Area  

Title of Unit

Learning Goal What will students learn as a result of this unit? This should be your overall content learning goal (not your technology learning goal)

Technology Standards What NETS-S standards are addressed by this unit?

Technologies Integrated List the technologies used in this unit.

Resources To the extent possible, list websites, videos, etc. that will be used in this unit.

Unit Outline

Create an outline for your unit that briefly describes each activity, including how technology will be integrated. For each activity, identify approximately how much time will be allotted.

Note: It is not necessary that you use technology to support each activity, but technology must be integrated into the unit as a whole. At least 5 activities must incorporate technology.
