Ed+Tech+Project+Prospectus

I am tossing around a couple of ideas for this project, both are for option #1, the creation of a technologically infused unit.

One is not necessarily an "old" assignment, but rather a brand new one in general. Based off of what we have learned so far in this class, I gave a couple of my Honors students a "pilot" Ed Tech/PLN assignment. It focused on using twitter, Facebook, diigo, and iGoogle in order to create and develop PLNs. I would like to use/bolster this assignment for my project.

The other option, is to try to take something that I do use and redo it with technology. I am struggling to think of what that may be: possibly the group assignment that I have students do - perhaps make their presentations webbased; or possibly convert my own lectures into something more student-driven, as I've been preaching, perhaps utilize pech kucha, or something like that. Maybe just model several different web-based presentation options for them.

These are my ideas so far. I will report back with links to Google Docs/ Hardcopies of these assignments later.
