I reviewed two Learning Innovation Lab capstone projects, this research gave me some ideas about how I would like to present my own capstone project as I work through this semester.
Jennifer Perkins The driving question is: why is it important to implement 21st Century Skills and a Growth Mindset into the Mathematics Classroom? Who was their audience? Their audience is district administrators and teachers. I thought Perkins did a good job of trying to reach her audience, especially on the "Standards" and "Learn More" tab. Those tabs gave great resources to educators who are looking for ideas about how and why they should implement 21st Century and Growth Mindset opportunities. I also like the graphs which provides clear data. Were they effective in presenting to them on every page? Why or why not? I think Perkins did a nice ob of presenting to her audience on each page. One suggestion would be to highlight the finding of each of rounds of research, maybe with bold fonts or enlarged text. Cerda The driving question is does having students create video lessons engage them in learning? Who is their audience? Their audience is district administrators and teachers. I thought there was a lot of good information in Cerda's capstone project but I did feel like the content was a bit light. I like the graphics but it seemed that there could have been additional resources or add-ons to his pages that would have given more information and power to his project. Were they effective in presenting to them on every page? Why or why not? I thought the "Learn More" tab was the best part of the project. Another suggestion would be to highlight the findings of each rounds of research, maybe with bold fonts or enlarged text. My capstone project audience include district administrators, site administrators, teachers, paraprofessionals and parents. These folks will be my capstone audience because I am providing resources for how to challenge advanced learners to grow to their greatest potential. This audience will be interested in learning how to best support this student population.
