  1. Washington DC Student Project Unit Portfolio Presentation By Terri Lackey

  2. Unit Summary • This unit takes a look at Word processing concepts using multiple technologies for everyday office situations.

  3. Curriculum-Framing Questions • Essential Question • How can you use Microsoft Office Word & the Internet to enhance your academic and career skills? • Unit Question • What types of documents in Word can you use to effectively communicate information? • Content Questions • How do you put together acquired research in a business document?

  4. Washington DC Project This project will help my students develop 21st century skills by: • Use digital technology, communication tools and/or networks appropriately to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, and create information in order to function in a knowledge economy. (21st Century Skill)

  5. Gauging Student Needs Assessment • Purpose of the Assessment • To gather information about what students already know and what they wonder about Washington DC sites. • What I want to learn from my students? • I want to find out what they already know about the Unit Question and what they know about Washington DC. • How I have tried to promote higher-order thinking? • I ask students to think about the various types of Word documents they know how to use and how they can display information effectively. • How the assessment information helps me and my students plan for upcoming activities in the unit? • If students have misconceptions about how to use various types of documents in Word, I can provide scaffolds. If students have different levels of understanding about how to come up with possible internet sites, I can provide various resources. We will revisit this assessment throughout the unit for students to add their knowledge. • What feedback or additional ideas I’d like? • I would like help on my assessment. I think I need to elicit more higher-order thinking, but I’m not sure how.

  6. My Goals for the Course • Find ways to get my students more interested in learning various forms of Technology with real life projects • Learn about different kinds of technology my students and I can use • Share ideas with other teachers

  7. Goals for My Students • To become more independent learners • To learn how administrative assistants use technology in their jobs

  8. Request for Feedback • Ideas for helping students take more responsibility for their own learning • Ideas for utilizing technology so students can collaborate and share information.
