The final project

I have seen all the sample instructional packages and it seem pretty simple but when it come to my turn to write up one it seems to take forever. As a teacher, I know this is an important part of my job is to be able to write instructional stuff that will make students learn and enjoy.
My group have already made a rough draft and hope to have it checked for correction and additions.

final project

Our final project talks about Keeping Pohnpei, along with 4 sub-titles. We are planning to have 4 sessions according to the 4 sub-titles under Keeping Pohnpei. So far, our target audience are 6, 7, and 8 graders.

Education

Education has a variety of meanings. Education can mean knowledge and skills, fluent speakers in English, modernize styles and people ways of life and so on. But Education to me means Employment because it is how people can viewed someone by the way of life as an individual. But still education still has different meaning depending on how someone believe.

Useful Information

I have learned several useful information from edtech so far, and hope to gain more... Using technology in the classroom truly engaged, and increases students learning. As a RESOURCE TEACHER, helping children with special needs, my professionality have much confident to teaching them by useful information I gained from this course so far.

Teaching: Big Heart

I learned one important lesson about teaching last month. Being a good and effective teacher is not how well educated and experienced you are but how big your heart is. Having a big heart counts more than a big education. In Pohnpeian "kaidehn sukuhl laud me kesempwal ahpw mohngiong laud."

kalahngan,

Marine Resources

Our final project is about Marine Resources.The importance of our marine resources and how we can conserve, preserve, and put to better use of our resources. Meaning maintaining our resources in ways that will better serve our economy and well being. The success of our project is that we have better understanding of marine resources, and we have abundant information since we are surround by ocean. The challenge is making the students understand the true significance of our marine resources. Some people and communities tend to be oblivious to what is obivious thinking that it does not concern them. But we will try our best to get the message through, even if it means sacrificing some of our valuable time.

Final Project

Our final project is very big project. What are the components that are to be included? Can you provide more examples? Should we include copies of student worksheets? How can we incorporate a field trip activity if needed? Is it also practical to invite a guest speaker or consultant on the subject matter of the project? How long should each component be?
