11. OUR PROJECT
To determine whether or not technology can enhance and
support a standards based curriculum.
Collaborate and identify research tools to complete our
project.
Determine end products, and how our project will be
assessed.

18. ACTIVITY- RESEARCH
Using Big 6 Research
Strategies, we will find
information about
Technology and Standards.

19. DETERMINE FINAL PRODUCT
You will have an unlimited amount of choice when creating
a final product.
Your product should clearly answer the essential question
and persuade the school district to keep technology.

20. ACTIVITY- FOCUS GROUP
Using Turning Point Anywhere, you will solicit feedback
from your audience on your presentation.
You can use Google Docs to create questions to help you
assess the effectiveness of your presentation.

21. FINAL PRODUCT
You will present your final product to the school district.
You and your instructor will assess both the process and
final product.
You will evaluate your product, as well as the process and
reflect on your performance.
