Projects

// Lesson Plan Project // : Think of a way you can teach a unit or individual lessons incorporating the six aptitudes from Dan Pink’s A Whole New Mind. What would the goal of your lessons be? Formalize two lessons that would share your vision. Each lesson should focus on a different aptitude and incorporate a form of technology to enhance 21st century learning. Teach these lessons and reflect upon each. Write a comprehensive analysis that addresses the following: How did the lessons goals and outcomes compare to the way it was traditionally taught? What went well with the lesson? How did the students respond? What challenges did you encounter? How can you address these challenges in the future? // Instructional Aid Project // : Create 4 physical prototypes to be used as instructional aids or exemplars in the classroom. Each project will reflect an integration of at least one of the aptitudes with connection to your content. Take pictures of your project and answer the following questions: - What aptitude is reflected? - How does the content incorporate the aptitude? - Describe the intended outcome of incorporating this prototype into the classroom.
