Did I tell you the iPads are coming? It is official! Our IT director and administration blessed the 1:1 iPad initiative for the 2012-2013 school year:D So, I am busy this summer revamping lessons to include the NeW, BEaUTiFul, ShiNy, Oh-sO-PoWerFuL technology. While I am not usually a "project" kind of girl, I have defined several activities I would like for students to complete and for lack of better terminology, I am calling the activities "projects". I am busy defining the tasks, creating tutorials, and making rubrics to go with each one.
I have just completed an assignment in which students will use the Snapguide app to create a math tutorial for an assigned problem type. Here is what I came up with:
Task: According to a Harris Interactive poll in the Spring of 2012, three in ten Americans own an e-reader. With the rise of Nooks, Kindles, and iPads, large textbook companies are moving quickly to electronic versions of content specific e-books. This is causing Educational Content Writers to adjust how they communicate information.
Your task is to assume the role of a 21st century content writer and create an easy to understand Math Tutorial using the Snapguide app for the Textbook of Tomorrow. The tutorial that follows details your task and provides a step-by-step tutorial on how to use Snapguide. You will upload your completed project via the submission form posted on the class website.
Tutorial:
Rubric:
I'll post all three project components on the class website and provide a place for the students to upload the projects. I have the rubric scored for possible points being 5, 3, or 1 for each category. Is it okay to score like this (counting by 2's)? This is my first project in FoREvEr and of course, I am hoping they ALL make 20 out of 20. So, please provide feedback, especially if you see that I am forgetting something important for their success!
