 * 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 ** Science standard that would apply to this project would be that the students are able to identify minerals by their characteristic properties. The students will be able to choose their mineral and create a poster identifying the specific characteristics of their mineral.
 * What standards do you need to meet with this project?
 * What will students know and be able to do?

**Pedagogy**
 * What teaching methods and instructional strategies will you use?

**Technology** The students will be able to choose whether they wish to use Photo Story 3, Glogster, Slideshow presentation, or any other site they are familiar with that would apply to their project.
 * What technology will support or enhance student learning?

**Part 2:** Define your project timeline with implementation and next steps. <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">The students will be given at least a week to create their project, although a lot will depend on the amount of time allotted for each class and the ability to have access to the computer lab.

<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. <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">[|Example of mineral project]
