MS4ED PROJECT

Guided Hypermedia Projects

It is a self-made multimedia projects that you can use for your instruction or discussion. It can be approached in two different ways: 
1. As an Instructive tool , such as in the production by the students of a power point presentation.
You can apply this in your discussion.It is easy for the teacher to catch up the attention of the students because they love moving letters or pictures and also sounds and the teacher can discussed well the topic because of its beautiful visual aid which is suitable for the topic.


2. As a communication tool when students do a multimedia presentation to stimulate a television news show.
It is easy for the teacher to discuss about news or literature if they have tools like television or you can use your own video clips in order to present the topic they wanted.

 Web based project

 Project management software is not just for managing software based project. It can be used for variety of other tasks too. The web-based software must provide tools for planning, organizing and managing resources to achieve project goals and objectives. A web-based project management software can be accessed through an intranet or WAN / LAN using a web browser. You don't have to install any other software on the system. The software can be easy of use with access control features (multi-user). I use project management software for all of our projects (for e.g. building a new cluster farm) for issue / bug-tracking, calendar, gantt, charts, email notification and much more.

Resourced based project

Resource-based learning actively involves students, teachers and teacher-librarians in the effective use of a wide range of print, non print and human resources. Resource-based learning fosters the development of individual students by accommodating their varied interests, experiences, learning styles, needs and ability levels. Students who use a wide range of resources in various mediums for learning have the opportunity to approach a theme, issue or topic of study in ways which allow for a range of learning styles and access to the theme or topic via cognitive or affective appeals.










 Simple Creations
 

•In developing software, creativity as an outcome should not be equated with ingenuity or high intelligence. Creating is more consonant with planning, making, assembling, designing or building.

•Three kinds of skills/abilities:

•Analyzing- distinguishing similarities and differences/ seeing the project as a problem to be solved.

•Synthesizing- making spontaneous connections among ideas, does generating interesting or new ideas.

•Promoting- selling of a new ideas to allow the public to test the ideas themselves.

•The five key task to develop creativity:

• Define the task- clarify the goal of the completed project to the student.

• Brainstorm- the students themselves will be allowed to generate their own ideas on the project. Rather than shoot down ideas, the teacher encourages ideas exchange.

• Judge the ideas- the students themselves make an appraisal for or against any idea. Only when students are completely off check should the teacher intervene.

• Act- the students do their work with the teacher a facilitator.

•Adopt flexibility- the students should be allowed to shift gears and not follow an action path rigidly.
