The Spreadsheet Integration Project

As I looked at these, these seemed to be very well done, advanced lesson plans.  They took the teacher through the steps necessary to achieve the learning experience on the subject that was given.  I looked at one that was for Roman History.  It seemed very through and took the students as a group to do the research.

The steps involved seemed to be similiar to doing a lesson plan.  Details included using video devices, online resources and media resources that could be used to enhance the students learning.  The process took weeks to do, and once the project was accomplished, learning was measured and the project is accessed.  The students liked this form of learning, though the teacher made references that in a Junior High setting, the students had to be constantly supervised.

I would adapt this to the project that we did for the powerpoint presentation.  This is the basic research project.  In high school, hopefully it would not need as much supervision as junior high.  Students would then be integrated into a group learning process and would have to rely on each other as team mates and not as single players and hopefully eliminating bias.  I think this type of project works well to acheive learning.
