EDT 629 Blog Entry #3: Final Project


For my project in this class I plan on creating an introductory unit for incoming 6th graders that could be taken the summer before attending 6th grade. For the project for this class I plan on focusing on one or two units, with the intention of adding additional units later. My class will be entirely online using a Google Site (in the future I hope to turn it into a hybrid class where students would meet once a week in person). I plan on incorporating videos, podcasts, and online tutorials. The students will only be assessed formatively for now using online assessments. As the class is expanded, summative assessments may be given in order to allow students to ‘test out’ of 6th grade math and begin their year one grade level ahead in math. I also plan on using discussion boards where students can ask and answer questions on a peer-to-peer level. I would like these discussions to be mandatory in the future – I would require a certain number of posts before attending the in-person class sessions or before being allowed to take a summative assessment for a particular unit.
