TwT Group Projects for Week 3: Boy am I Impressed!

This week each group was given an assignment to create a project that contained 3 separate sections. The opening section was an oral presentation of the history, concept and implementation of the Constructivism Theory. The second section consisted of a visual presentation of the Constructivism Theory. The final section was a science lesson designed using the 5E model.
I was absolutely floored by the magnitude and scope of the technology presented by each group. They were all different but equally intriguing. The projects were all visually appealing, containing video clips, animation, color, etc. No two lessons were alike and one group even went so far as to create several lessons to show different presentations of different content. I am particularly proud of my group’s final product. I have two awesome partners, Jen and Katie, who worked especially hard to add a terrific animation, lovely audio track and superb video clips to our project. Without their effort our presentation would certainly have lacked the appeal that it possesses. I have learned a lot about all this technology available to us teachers to help make our lessons more student friendly but I can see from all these group projects that I have a long way to go – I am still very much a digital immigrant
