15. Things to remember
 In designing the project, consider the KSAVs
 Give room for self-regulation
 Design an amenable evaluation (win-win)
 There must always be a challenge!
 Give room for reflective thinking.
 Think of contingencies or alternative projects
 In this example—
 Design a collaborative project

Deadlines are constructive
Ensure the participation of everyone

constraints that encourage
There should be a one time big event that requires everyone’s
presence creativity!
 Monitor the progress

20. What is Twitter for Me
 Alternate way of knowing my students
 I use it as additional medium of student announcements &
feedback.
 I test an idea, think aloud, get response from students or
strangers.
 It’s a good place to share constructive ideas and meet bright
minds.
 It ‘s a hub of prudence and kind online behavior.
 It’s a pitstop of sharing fun, good food, even bad days.
 It’s a channel where I hear students’ irrational thoughts, have a
better understanding of them.
 It’s a place where people share things they are passionate
about, so amazing & admirable!
