Open-ended - an opportunity to jump in at your level

 On Dot Day we traditionally celebrate student creativity, so this activity is a good example of how an assignment can allow students to jump in at their level. The students were given some parameters and assisted with some tech tips on how they could make their assignments more interactive. Many students are very capable in creating slides and presentations and using various web apps, while for others this may have been their first project on a laptop. Setting up challenges and choices gives them the opportunity to focus on strengths. Each project is unique and imperfect, but shows the students' abilities with technologies. It also gets them thinking about the world outside their homes and neighborhoods.

Make sure you click on some of the images in the slides to see where they take you.
