Project Plan

My goal is to develop instructional materials for my High School Computers class. This class is a general computers class and the last 9 weeks are devoted to creating web pages. I hope to have each student make a web page for a business of their choice. The students will use a CMS like joomla or drupal. I will host their sites via DreamHost. I will also coordinate their efforts through my Moodle site. Students will be responsible for designing and creating their websites. They will also blog regularly (on Moodle) as a way of reflecting on their work. The students will also use a discussion board to comment/critique each others sites. I will construct a rubric which I will use to grade the students. This will be posted so the students know what to shoot for. This project will satisfy several of the METS standards.
