collect links for your classes. (Hopefully, you have already

useful to your students. Your may use existing links if you
already have started a collection, but follow the guidelines
shown below to complete your link projects. Your collection

FINAL
PROJECT--SELECT ONE OPTION AND SEND YOUR CHOICE TO
WEEK 6 DB.
DUE DATE: April 9, 2007
Option 1: Best Practices in Teacher
Webs/Distance Education
During participation in this course, students will
research best practices in teacher web sites and/or
distance education. They will discuss application for
their own courses and implement these best practices
wherever possible. In this project, participants will
create a document as a guide for themselves and others
suggesting personal best practices that ensure student
success in using a teacher web site environment.
Outside resources may be used if desired. (1- 2 pages)
Option 2: PowerPoint Presentation
Create a Power Point project with pictures of students
and or faculty implementing Sharepoint tools. This
culminating project will document the semester's work
and the teachers/parents/students' insights into using
e-learning as a productive, collaborative tool. (10-15
slides)
Option 3: Your Creation
Create your own final project. This is very
flexible--I want you to do something that you will
enjoy and use that can appear on your website or help
other teachers. Define your goals and objectives for
this project and receive
permission of
the instructor. Length should be equivalent to
Options 1 or 2.
PROJECTS WILL BE DUE 2 WEEKS AFTER OTHER COURSE
ASSIGNMENTS AND FORUMS ARE FINISHED.

WEEK 5 and 6:
February 26-March 11: Additional Sharepoint Features
FYI: As of now, the magic number for the DB is "32" (4
Weekly responses and 28 [4 x 7] interactions). Check the
Posted by view in the DB to see what you need to work on.
Since the class response average is currently at 16, we
will not have a new Discussion this week;
however, there will be a New Discussion during Week 6.
This should give the newcomers and some who have had other
delays a chance to catch up with the previous weeks and to
work on the following tasks.
**Check back on this page later this week for early Final
Project Information or other updates
|
Weeks 5 and 6 Assignments:
Within the next 2 WEEKS, complete these tasks
(Also check back here before next week for
Final Project Information
or other updates)
-
Usernames/Passwords:
Remember to send me your student
"usernames" and "passwords" so they have access
to the interactive Sharepoint components. (Due
ASAP)
-
Discussion Board:
Try the DB with your classes using the
questions and rubrics you have created
-
Sharepoint Libraries:
Go to the Library Info
Link and read about each type of "library"
as well as the and instructions for using them.
Try them out on your own website by uploading

items/links of your web page. Post any questions
you may have to the "Water Cooler"
for all to see.
-
Other Components:
Experiment with
the CALENDAR and WEB RESOURCES features
of Sharepoint. I have placed both of these
items as well as the SURVEY into the
sites. The directions for using these items are

Discussions to catch up, etc.
