Paper and pencil assessments are reduced and new world electronic presentation and assessments are added. Additionally, students will learn that teaching or describing what they have learned is as important as the learning was in the first place. Tying together problem solving skills and the content material into a web presentation will hopefully solidify the course into a meaningful experience that will extend far beyond the chemistry classroom. I am including the total budget for the project in a separate column. Additionally, they will be able to film video clips for insertion into their webpages.
Homepage is simple to use, yet powerful web authoring software.
Filemaker Pro is another simple to use database program that interfaces well with webpages. It will allow students to add searchable data to their webpages. The LCD projector will allow the students to project their work so the entire class can see what they have accomplished. This will be used anytime I want to share a good idea being developed on one webpage with the entire class. I don't have a single computer that would be considered a good graphics computer.
