Unit 10: Wrapping Up
Unit Overview
The purpose of this final unit is to describe a variety of end-of-term
activities and tasks that provide students and teachers the opportunity to reflect
on the Generation www.Y program and celebrate their accomplishments.
First, we will provide a rationale for submitting a final edited
version of the Project Organinzing and Reporting Tool (PORT), as well as instructions
and tips for how best to guide students through the steps of this summative
task. An optional activity enabling teachers to assess the quality of student/partner-teacher
collaboration is also provided.
Secondly, there will be a brief consideration of the online post
surveys and their importance to the Gen www.Y program. Suggestions will also
be presented for how the compiled results of these surveys might be used to
promote and extend the Gen www.Y program in schools.
And finally, we will present suggestions and tips on various celebratory activities enabling Gen www.y students to share the results of their work with the larger school community. “Next step” suggestions will also be presented for those Gen www.Y students who wish to continue in the development of both their technical and collaborative skills, in support of their schools and communities.
