It’s Time for Students to Reflect How does homework affect their final average? How does their homework grade affect all other grades? Explain. What happens to their grades over time? What are the possible reasons for a large change in their grade? What are some of their goals after they review their data? What can you, the student do to improve your grades? What can I the teacher do to improve your grade? Math and Technology Students start off easy using excel and the web to complete the introductory notes. They relearn the basics but learn to apply it. I used and abused Excel, until it turned colors. They will have to enter formulas and trouble shoot. Students will synthesize their information and import it into PowerPoint. Oh to see students make conclusions, what a feeling. The Design I have a simple design so it should be easy to follow. I have an index page where all the necessary stages of the lesson are laid out with links. Everything goes back to this page. The lesson plan page has bookmarks, so you can easily skip to portions of the lesson. I have excel directions and examples for ease of instruction. Great for multiple intelligences. I have also asked students to do a PowerPoint presentation and I make a presentation with the questions imbedded in them. This is to give them a head start on the presentation It is also easier to work when less windows are open according to the research I did previously for ETAP 650 Diving In: I begin with the end. The most detailed portion of this project is the rubric. I have divided it into approximately 3 large sections: Notes in Word, Grade determination and analysis in Excel Project Presentation in PowerPoint THE Rubric So what did you think of that? A rubric that helps keep kids on task A rubric that can be printed or linked A rubric that calculates the grade for you That’s clutch! Ever heard of ADD? Did you know that I mean Oh Did you see that fly Shoot why don’t we just go look up Miss Trevisani on Rate my Teacher.com ……. Working Hard but how about a break.
