09 Online Learning Project Lesson Idea Template
Describe how you would incorporate an Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity in your
classroom:
In my classroom, using online projects/collaboration sites/publishing opportunities will be seamlessly
integrated into the routines and procedures of the course. I think it’s important for students to be able to (1)
get the content delivered in a different way than just myself and (2) help one another grasp the content. The
rule three before me makes more sense to me now as a teacher candidate. Collaboration skills and being able
to work with others in a team setting is a very important life skill and I think that providing students with
opportunities to do this in the classroom will provide them with early access to obtaining this skill.
Allowing students to use publishing opportunities in the classroom is really important, as well. I think students
should have an outlet to share their work with others around the school and possibly state/nation. This
provides students with further motivation to complete the assignment with dignity and not just a grade. It
requires that students delve into the topic and really reflect on what they’re provided with.
What technologies would be required to implement this proposed learning activity in a classroom?
Students will be able to access and edit this Padlet using a computer/laptop or handheld smart device.
Describe how the following features are addressed in this learning experience (note: all of them may not be
addressed in the project, but most should be if you are reaching a high LoTi Level).
a. Collaboration with peers, near-peers, mentors outside their classroom and often beyond their
school: Using programs like Google Drive and other educational collaboration sites allows students to
work together as they create their original products.
b. Student-centered learning and knowledge creation (creating original data and or producing original
products as a result of engaging in a project): Through using online projects, students will be able to

participate in mass data-collection and analyze this data to create things such as graphs, charts, and
other ways to represent the data.
c. Higher-order thinking: This requires students to not only know the information and be able to
regurgitate it, but apply the concepts learned to a new environment. The application stage of
completing activities provides higher-order thinking.
d. Students publishing their original work to others who will use/care about their product: This gives
students a sense of pride and accomplishment. Understanding that their work will be used for others
to view that care could provide better discourse and better results than would normally turning in a
worksheet for a grade to the teacher.
