Digital Academy: Final Project =Overview = For your final project, you will plan and implement a lesson or a unit that incorporates technology to support and enhance student learning. You will use this wiki to collaborate with your colleagues to plan the lesson.

During our final Digital Academy session, you will submit the following items to me on the wiki page for your project.
 * 1) Project Summary
 * 2) Project Implementation Plan/Timeline
 * 3) Assessment Rubric
 * 4) Student Samples of work

**Part 1: Project Summary **

Plan a lesson, a series of lessons or a unit that implements technology to enhance student learning. Prepare a summary of your lessons that includes the components listed below.

You should also be prepared to talk about these questions during the final Digital Academy session.

**Content **
 * What standards do you need to meet with this project? Creative expression and communication.
 * What will students know and be able to do? Students will be able to animate a story that we read in class. They will be able to draw pictures to show an order of events.

**Pedagogy**
 * What teaching methods and instructional strategies will you use? I will use direct instruction and modeling to present the story and give examples of how to illustrate the text in sequential order.

 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">What technology will support or enhance student learning? I will use the elmo to read the story and we will be using the elmo to take pictures of our drawings and turn them into an animated cartoon strip.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">**Part 2:** <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Define your project timeline with implementation and next steps. Students will start by making thumbnail sketches of their cartoon and will then develop their drawings into finished projects. I will then take the pictures of the cartoons to begin animating.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">**Part 3:** <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Create a rubric that assesses the lesson.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">**Part 4:** <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Ultimately, we would like to showcase student work on this wiki, however with the last two sessions being both in May, this is unlikely. You are encouraged to follow up and include student samples on your Project Page so that others in the district can see the student work.
