A collaborative class project
Students’ ideaTheir common interestTheir managementAnd of course it exhibits diversity in their outputs
Things to remember In designing the project, consider the KSAVs Give room for self-regulation Design an amenable evaluation (win-win) There must always be a challenge!
Give room for reflective thinking. Think of contingencies or alternative projects In this example—
Design a collaborative project Ensure the participation of everyone There should be a one time big event that requires everyone’s
presence Monitor the progress
Deadlines are constructive constraints that encourage
creativity!

What is Twitter for Me Alternate way of knowing my students I use it as additional medium of student announcements &
feedback. I test an idea, think aloud, get response from students or
strangers. It’s a good place to share constructive ideas and meet bright
minds. It ‘s a hub of prudence and kind online behavior. It’s a pitstop of sharing fun, good food, even bad days. It’s a channel where I hear students’ irrational thoughts, have a
better understanding of them. It’s a place where people share things they are passionate
about, so amazing & admirable!
