It was great to be able to collaborate with team members in creating our final project. It was also very helpful using project models from UBD. The UBD model helped us stay focused on the essential questions and enduring understandings rather than focusing on the technological aspects of the product; the student designed glogs. We still have to do some fine-tuning of the project but the overall frame work of the project is sound. Our next steps will be to find appropriate mentor texst to use with the Social Issues reading genre activities. We also need to learn more about how to effectively use, and then teach the students, the glogs features as an effective communication tool showcase their thoughts and their work. One feature that we are excited about is that we can keep the students in-house so that we can monitor appropriate feedback. It also has a feature in which the blogs can be rated on a 1-4 star system. We will be able use this feature to have the students rate each others projects in addition to the rubric which we will use to evaluate their work.
