The document describes a two-week culminating project for 9th grade biology students where they investigated a mock crime scene at their school. Students worked in groups to gather evidence from various sources and charge a suspect. They then had to present their findings in a mock courtroom, explaining how their evidence proved the suspect's guilt and calling an expert witness via Skype. The project allowed students to develop skills in areas like the scientific method, literacy, communication, and technology integration while mimicking real-world forensic investigation and legal procedures. The teacher found that providing a relevant, challenging project engaged students in meaningful learning.

reseach proposal
The document discusses a research project that aims to explore how homework is viewed within the family home using a constructivist theory approach. The researcher will conduct focus groups, interviews, observations, surveys, and a scenario response to better understand how homework contributes to student progress and how it relates to constructivism. The topic of homework has been debated regarding its effects. The research will use a naturalistic inquiry paradigm and mixed methods to target one area or community. The main research question is whether homework supports constructivist teaching and learning principles.
Crime drama proposal
This document contains summaries of and comments on several television show trailers. It discusses how the trailers do not reveal too much of the storyline, reference previous successful seasons, and introduce the main actors. The document also includes information about an idea for a crime drama television show trailer and poster that the author is developing about a serial killer who murders people every 48 hours at their family business in revenge.
2526033 The Proposal
Breaking Barriers Fund, Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides educational and developmental programs to help end violence, discrimination, and poverty in Africa, Central Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The organization focuses on minorities, young adults, health, self-defense training, and entrepreneurship. Albertine Harris has been named Project Manager and Vice President to oversee management and provide leadership.
FINAL RESEARCH PROPOSAL
- The goal of the proposed research is to determine recidivism rates of drug court graduates compared to incarcerated individuals who did not participate in drug court.
- Drug court is an alternative program for non-violent drug offenders that aims to rehabilitate through treatment rather than incarceration. It consists of phases of inpatient treatment, halfway houses, and probation.
- Previous research has found drug courts significantly reduce recidivism by 8-26% on average compared to traditional case processing or probation, with average reductions of 10-15%. Three meta-analyses found drug courts reduce crime.

Students will solve a mystery about an unknown molecule by researching common materials and their corresponding organic functional groups. They will form groups, each focusing on a different functional group. The groups will construct 3D models and research examples of products containing their functional group. Finally, they will collaborate to determine which product matches the mystery molecule and present their findings.

Summer school science work (using wikis)
The document summarizes a teacher's experience using technology in a summer school science class. The students had previously failed using traditional teaching methods and had learning disabilities or behavioral issues. The teacher took on a supervisory role while students worked collaboratively in roles like project manager and researcher. Technologies like laptops, the Internet, SmartBoard, Excel and Google were used to make science more student-centered, relevant and to challenge students' thinking. The goals were to create a positive science experience, make science inquiry student-driven and use technology to enhance learning. As a result, students took ownership of their work, collaborated proudly and were able to share what they learned with others. The teacher reflected that technologies increased student experimentation and motivation when

The tablet-cloud system was found to stimulate student engagement and self-expression. Insights were gained from creating, implementing, and sustaining the tablet-cloud system in classrooms. The experiences concluded that open-ended apps and a combination of teacher and student-led learning are effective approaches for introducing new technologies into the classroom.
Transforming Learning: Using a Multi-User Virtual Environment for simulation
Transforming Learning: Using a Multi-User Virtual Environment for simulationHealth Informatics New Zealand
This document discusses using a multi-user virtual environment (MUVE) called Second Life for nursing simulation. It describes how MUVEs allow multiple simultaneous users to interact via avatars. The project involved undergraduate nursing students from two universities participating in a simulation of a postpartum haemorrhage scenario in Second Life. Students found the simulation realistic and it taught them skills like responding quickly. Educators found preparation and testing important and that debriefing was essential. Lessons learned included establishing a team, thorough preparation of the simulation, and allowing time for technical issues.Barbara Mehlman
The document provides information on how to build independent learners through teaching the inquiry process, benchmark skills, and information literacy. It defines information literacy and inquiry, describes the inquiry cycle, and gives examples of benchmarks for different grade levels. It also discusses how to embed these concepts into lessons across different subjects using resources like reference works, discussion groups, and electronic media like wikis, blogs, audio and video. Sample lessons on the topic of cloning are provided for different subjects to illustrate how to develop benchmarks, use inquiry phases, and create end products.
Shewey Science Academy
The document summarizes the Phase I of the Shewey Science Academy held in June 2008. It describes the goals of increasing student science knowledge, improving attitudes towards science, and encouraging careers in science.

This 2-4 week kindergarten science unit teaches students about the life cycle of butterflies. Students will raise caterpillars in class and observe their metamorphosis. They will create a digital book demonstrating each stage of the butterfly's life cycle using images and text. Working in groups, students will add their sections to the book and present their findings to the class. The goals are for students to understand what butterflies need to survive and be able to present their knowledge using technology skills like adding images and text to a digital book.
Project plan
This document outlines an eTwinning project plan where students from different countries will learn about important scientific discoveries and inventors from their home countries. Each team will research and introduce a famous scientist and their discoveries. The students will share what they learn on a wiki or twinspace platform. At the end of the project, the students will collaborate to create a quiz about the scientists and discoveries they studied to share with other students. The goals of the project are for students to improve their knowledge of science and scientists from different European countries while developing language, collaboration, and technology skills.

This article discusses the development of virtual performance assessments (VPAs) to measure student science inquiry skills. The VPAs immerse students in 3D virtual ecosystems where they take on the role of scientists. Students investigate issues like declining kelp forests by interacting with the virtual environment and non-player characters. All student interactions are recorded to assess their understanding and problem-solving abilities. The VPAs aim to provide valid, reliable assessments of science standards while alleviating issues like training requirements and material costs of traditional hands-on assessments.
Final presentation
This document outlines a World History project that aims to increase student engagement through technology integration. The teacher will model various technology tools and activities for students to use, including online discussions, a webquest, and multimedia presentations. Students will collaborate online and in flexible groups to research historical topics and create projects showcasing their understanding. Assessment will involve rubrics to evaluate students' technology skills and performance on discussions, webquests, and multimedia projects. Initial surveys showed improved student engagement and attitudes by the end of the technology-focused project.
