Keys To Successful Telecomputing activities can encompass a wide variety of project ideas, especially projects in accessibleto both teachers and students, classroom telecomputing technologies http://www.gsn.org/teach/articles/keys.2.success.html
Extractions: Keys to Successful Telecomputing [This article appeared in The Computing Teacher in 1990, Volume 17, Number 8, pages 25-28.] A condensation of this article, How to Design a Successful Project , has been widely circulated on various newsgroups and lists ever since. For some teachers, telecommunications expands the horizons of their classroom, opening the doors to real audiences and exciting interactive activities from locations around the country and the World. These teachers know its capacity to motivate students and involve them in productive learning experiences. Many others, however, fail to realize this potential power. For every successful long-distance learning experience you hear about, you are bound to hear others testify, "I tried that, and it didn't work." Articles and conference presentations are often guilty of hyperbole. The author or presenter has had successful telecomputing experiences and relates glowing reports of life-changing online communications with distant colleagues, and how these experiences improved their classes. It is easy to be beguiled with such evangelistic accounts. Yet many novices are often frustrated, discouraged, and disillusioned with the actual use of this "powerful, exciting" technology. Much of this frustration is due to the learning curve imposed by the current state of technology in the classroom. There are still a myriad of technical obstacles to overcome in preparing to use computers, modems, and phone lines in the classroom.
How To Design A Successful Project How to Design a Successful project (c) Yvonne Andres is based on TelecommunicationsIn The classroom Keys to list and projects Registry for some great ideas. http://www.gsn.org/teach/articles/design.project.html
Extractions: This article is based on " Telecommunications In The Classroom: Keys to Successful Telecomputing ," first published in the Computing Teacher in 1990. Check out our Hilites mailing list and Projects Registry for some great ideas. Over the years, Global SchoolNet (Formerly FrEdMail) Foundation has evolved a number of guidelines and principles which have led to many successful collaborative projects involving hundreds of classrooms and thousands of students. Like many aspects of successful teaching, we have found that planning is the key to success. The guidelines presented below have been validated in numerous highly successful classroom based projects on the FrEdMail Network. These guidelines, along with the template for writing you own "Call for Collaboration" will help guide you through a successful online learning experience with your students. Design a project with specific goals, specific tasks, and specific outcomes. The more specific, the better; the more closely aligned with traditional instructional objectives, the better. Avoid "sister school" and "pen pal" projects.

Extractions: "Research Scavenger Hunt" Nancy Harrington, Grade 7 Teacher/Dag Hammarskjold M.S. "This is great for the end of the school year (especially if your media center is air-conditioned and your classroom isn't). Using the research worksheets provided on this site, I had the students work in teams of three to find the necessary information. They could use the Internet, reference books, and other sources, as well. They loved doing it, and it was a great way to keep cool while letting them out of the classroom." "Making Flags" Terry Silvestri: Kent, Nevada Materials: Construction paper, writing paper, popsicle stick or flag stick, crayons, markers, glue, pencils. Ask students to create mini flags for all themes being studied. Then have the students attach their flags to the book. I like to have them make individual flags for each character in the book we are reading at the time. On the back of the flag, I ask them to write an acrostic poem about character. They love it!

Extractions: School Issues Center Archives: VIEW ALL ARTICLES Assessment ... Voice of Experience School Issues Article V O I C E O F E X P E R I E N C E Each week, an educator takes a stand or shares an Aha! moment in the classroom in the Education World Voice of Experience column. This week, educator Kathleen Modenbach reflects on how art projects can be a great bridge between some students and difficult content. She recalls how an art project constructed around Romeo and Juliet spurred one special education student to ask "Did Shakespeare write anything else?" Wow! Included: Modenbach shares sample art project ideas plus a message board where you can share your pet art projects! Although I appreciate art, I'm no good at it. In fact, I can draw only stick people. I confess this to my high school students whenever I assign an art project, which I do from time to time to motivate their understanding of literature. I've been assigning art projects for years. I realized long ago long before it was fashionable or mandated the benefits of teaching to student learning styles and strengths. Back then, as a novice special education teacher, I discovered that a large percentage of my learning disabled students were good artists and that their artistic talents weren't being nurtured or capitalized upon. It was then that I started using art projects to reinforce everything from Shakespearean drama to modern literature. I'll never forget Richard. Richard was in my special education English I class. After the class read

Extractions: Traveling Classroom Project Description Throughout our lives we become learners and teachers at various times, and, sometimes, we are learners and teachers at the same time. Many of the greatest discoveries of all time are made by people who carefully observe the world and teach themselves how to learn from it. Above all else, Traveling Classroom is about getting out in the world and investigating places and people and ideas that are interesting to us. Regardless of how the Traveling Classroom project is presented within a particular classroom or at home, it should be used to spark interest and stimulate further inquiry. To this end, teachers are encouraged to review Learning Resources and their own source materials, and then incorporate the following basic elements: Interaction The Traveling Classroom project brings Internet participants in contact with an ongoing adventure as it is happening. To introduce interactive learning to the classroom, the Traveling Classroom project emphasizes inquiry and exploration. Inquiry-based learning engages students in formulating and exploring challenging questions, which helps them develop critical thinking skills. For example, the project teacher will present information and images in the Trip Reports which will correspond to Activities that will stimulate student exploration of the subject matter and lead to feedback and questions over the Internet.
