Leadership

If we want our students to develop their leadership skills as teachers we have to let go of some of our control in the classroom. Any open ended project where we give students the choice to decide what format to best present what they've learned can develop this capacity for leadership.

Midterm or Final Review Project
Why not give your students the task of creating review tutorials on a particular chapter of the textbook using any technology they wish. You can ask that they must include all of the major points of the chapter summary. They can work in groups and create any number of different types of tutorials. Rubrics are available online for virtually any type of media format out there. As long as the project is media rich, and covers the content in a clear and precise way, it shouldn't matter what format their choose. We can provide sample rubrics to students before assigning the project so that they know what is important for each media type. Here are some examples of how their could present a midterm or final review.
