Online Projects

 

"Simply accessing information does not create learning and the construction of knowledge.
Online projects provide opportunities for students to interact in productive, meaningful ways
to help students build new knowledge."

So many exciting things happened our project because the students “took some responsibility for their own learning and felt free to explore directions that were meaningful to them. They learned by doing. They made a difference in their own lives and in their community. None of this could have happened without communication with people outside the school. This is the potential that Internet carries--the potential to bring us together and to help us learn from one another.”

Assessment of student work in online projects is dependent on the goals of student learning. In most projects, written communication is a component that may be included in the overall assessment.

Assessment should include opportunities for:
- students to reflect on their learning and the process in which they participated - ongoing journals may be useful
- self evaluation and peer evaluation by group members of the project
- multiple formats - written work such as group assignments and journals; teacher observations; student presentations and products.
