WPP Part D

• Formative: Did the project get implemented as planned?

My project was implemented as planned. From the feedback I had from other teachers at my school I was a little nervous about using Edline (Course Management System). I decided to jump right in and implement the project. My project consisted of implementing an online experience for my computer programming class. I posted a pretest, movie/tutorial/ and a post test.

• Summative: Evidence of success in addressing the problem of practice

The feedback from my student’s was positive. They enjoyed the experience and want to do more with online learning. The student’s showed interest in getting more involved with teaching each other through making movies/tutorials and submitting into a library for others to learn from.

• How would you approach another project of this type differently given what you’ve learned here?

After reading the comments of what other students in CEP-812 had mentioned in the last class I took their advice I started early and implemented it as soon as possible. I was lucky to have the support from my administrators to go ahead and implement the pretest, tutorial and post test as I seen fit to make this a successful project.

• What are the lessons learned that others might benefit from knowing about?

My biggest lesson learned was to, ” just do it”. Everyone learns by doing. I was afraid at first but then I was happy I went for it.

• In what ways will you endeavor to do the same project again, and what will you change or not do?

This was a great experience for my students and me. It was easy to implement and immediate result for every one involved. I plan to add lessons to Edline for my class and have my students get more involved in improving their online experience. The next time I post a test I will make sure that I have the dates and times set correctly. By not setting these controls correctly it did not mess the students up but it just would have been more organized. The students were to take the pretest the first night and watch the tutorial and take the post test the following night. The second night the tutorial was available for them but the post test had to be taken the following night.
