Our final tech project has begun, well, it will begin for 7F on Wednesday, 7S started it on Friday. We only have about 9 classes left to get it finished, so rather than letting them choose their own problem to solve as I originally planned, I'm giving them one. They have been assigned groups. Those students who wrote a blog post about whether they wanted to keep their old group or not got what they wanted. Everyone else has been assigned a new group.They will go through the entire design process, as they did for the last project. Their work will be presented on their group wiki and they are expected to write a personal journal on Kidblog about how their group worked and what they accomplished after each class. A sample wiki has been posted that gives a clear description of what their wiki should look like and outlines the content they should have on each page.
There is no time to waste! Hopefully we won't lose too many classes due to unforseen circumstances, but even if we get all the classes I am expecting, students are going to have to stay on task every class in order to do the best job they can. They've been through this process once now. This time should be easier and faster for them!
