 The original goal of this assignment was to compile a complete summary of the class as a final project. It contained all lecture material, demo material, formulas, and quizzes/handouts.  I chose this lesson because it is applicable and it had a lot of room for technological improvement.  The new lesson focuses on the demo notes part of the project. Students will document the class and photograph steps of the flower making process. The goal of the lesson is for students to construct individual online notebooks, which are also collaborated together as a class  I incorporated yogile.com, a photo sharing site. I also suggested how a wiki could be helpful as well.  I chose this tool because it is easy to use, students will be familiar with this type of technology, it is free, and it is easy to share.  For students, I chose NETS standard 1. Creativity and innovation, because students are producing their picture portfolio that can be added to over time  Teachers exhibit standard 3. Model Digital Age Work and Learning, by joining with students to create an assessment that can be shared with professionals and families.  Yes, I feel it will improve teaching because students will be motivated to create the best product possible to share with others and to build on.  Yes, I believe this will improve student learning because students will be interactive with one another’s projects and they will retain information better.
