You can check out my presentation through this slideshare link, but before you consider doing this project, check out this helpful T-Chart that a colleague found explaining why you should (and why you should not) use technology in the classroom.

2015 Project:WRIGHT Symposium

This is a presentation I gave at the first annual Project:WRIGHT Symposium right here at the Dayton Regional STEM School in January of 2015 on using student-centered websites to enhance project-based learning in my 11th grade Economics class. This was a unique symposium (kind of like a conference, but with real dialogue in every session) and it was a lot of fun. This is especially true because I was able to present this during the first session in my classroom and then hear three more exciting, informative, and engaging sessions happen one after the other right in the comfort of my own room! Check out the Facebook page of the symposium for more information. Special thanks to all who attended and provided me with such awesome feedback on how to make this project even better next time around!

 

This is the same presentation that I was invited to present at the Wright State University's 3rd annual Network for Educational Renewal Conference.
