A collaborative class project

Students’ ideaTheir common interestTheir managementAnd of course it exhibits diversity in their outputs

Things to remember In designing the project, consider the KSAVs Give room for self-regulation Design an amenable evaluation (win-win) There must always be a challenge!

Give room for reflective thinking. Think of contingencies or alternative projects In this example—

Design a collaborative project Ensure the participation of everyone There should be a one time big event that requires everyone’s

presence Monitor the progress

Deadlines are constructive constraints that encourage

creativity!

The practical & persuasive Twitter

What is Twitter for Me Alternate way of knowing my students I use it as additional medium of student announcements &

feedback. I test an idea, think aloud, get response from students or

strangers. It’s a good place to share constructive ideas and meet bright

minds. It ‘s a hub of prudence and kind online behavior. It’s a pitstop of sharing fun, good food, even bad days. It’s a channel where I hear students’ irrational thoughts, have a

better understanding of them. It’s a place where people share things they are passionate

about, so amazing & admirable!

so what are we waiting for?
