For
exit discussion (a new word for final exam) choose three of the following
four scenarios and write solid one to two page response on each of those
scenarios. A rubric link is included.
These are due before August 4 and are to be submitted as an attachment
(preferred) to an email or the content of an email.
Senario
One
Explain how you could use the Microsoft
Word program as a tool when teaching upper elementary students a
lesson on writing poetry. Explain further how the students would
benefit by using Word in this lesson, and, from another perceptive,
what do the students lose by not using Word with this lesson. What
would the students use by using the computer instead of another
alternative. Explain how you would manage this lesson and what "red
flags" would you be watching for.
Senario
Two
The principle in your school has asked
you if your 10th grade science class would prepare a presentation
for the parents' open house evening. You have been allocated 15
minutes for a presentation during the "program" in a "smart" auditorium.
You have also been designated a display table in the hallway. How
would you support the students in choosing the appropriate media
for the presentation and for the display? What advice would you
offer them regarding good design?
Senario
Three
You've been placed on a committee with
other techers at your school to design a school website. You soon
discover that you have more technical experience with website design
and creation than the others on the committee. That's scary! You
essentially have no money allocated for this work (so what's new)
but the school does have access to a server. How would you guide
the committee through:
choosing
a way to code the webpages,
choosing
a strategy to navigate among the webpages,
identifying
the audience and the demographics of the audience, and
developing
good design practices.
You and
the committee have full control and responsibility of this activity.
Senario
Four
At a meeting of parents, a discussion
about needing more computers in the school comes up. You've been
asked to comment. What would you advise them regarding appropriate
use of computers in education? Be specific about classrooms, libraries,
labs, subject matter, and ages.
The Exit Responses are due by email, either as the
body of the message or an attachment (Word documents are best, don't
use Works or WordPerfect) or both, on or before May 4, 2009.
The responses represent 10% of your course grade. The following
rubricwill be used for grading.
Office hours: Tuesday mornings: 9:00 - noon
Thursday mornigns: 9:00 - noon
