Reading Reflection #5

1. Before starting a project with students, it is important to consider your preparation. Projects require time management, organization, communication, and much more. Before starting a project, you will need to gather plenty of resources to support your project. You want your students to get the most out of the project and benefit greatly from it.

2. Teachers' project management needs include tools for communication, tools to present milestones, methods to get resources to students, systems for managing the project, structures to support productive learning, and many other tools. Students' project management needs include tools to help them manager their time, tools or systems to help manage materials and drafts, collaboration tools, methods to seek assistance, ways to get feedback, and ways to work interactively to see how parts add up to a whole.

3. There are many applications that can be used to assist in project management. One of my favorite ways to manage a project is through a blog. This allows viewers to see what is going on in the classroom and allows them to comment and give their input. Drupal and Textpattern include tools such as surveys and discussion forums that make it easier to collaborate.

4. This chapter relates to our project because we need to consider all of these concepts before launching the project. As a team, we have also been using a blog and practicing using applications to help us plan our projects.
