I purposely leave the topics of each project fairly open ended to allow students to be creative and to allow for them to choose the direction they want to take it. Students have really used this approach to steer their products to an area that they are passionate about. This alone has me learning more about them than I have in the past with "get to know you" type assignments.Brian Yuhnkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04111796225356502765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504521786275665231.post-77395854234040861102009-09-15T23:02:08.210-06:002009-09-15T23:02:08.210-06:00I love it Joni! You have such creative ideas. I also like doing a scavenger hunt, but I tend to have students search provided websites for content information that interests them and then have them share what they have found. I like that this gets them out of eCollege and into resources that are established outside of our class, and by pointing them to specific website resources I know have a wealth of information on our content, it is win-win~ they build confidence in using the technology and jumpstart thinking about our content... and we all learn a bit about each other's interests in the process.Jenna Reamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16680573968823436606noreply@blogger.com
