Today we turned in our student support materials. I particularly liked this assignment because it allowed me a certain amount of creativity, whereas in other assignments we are bound to doing only what is listed in the assignment. I think that student support materials can really enhance the learning experience for students and give them help where they otherwise might not receive it. For my project I created a news assignment in which students must create their own news stories for TV and newspapers. I also created a media log for students to track their weekly media use.
Through my student support projects, I have learned a lot about how to create other support documents to help my students better understand the material at hand. Also I have learned how to teach them more than one thing with a single assignment. I can teach them valuable lessons about how to use technology, which is a skill they will need in the real world, while teaching them about literature and grammar. I think this makes projects more interesting for the students; they like technology and in general feel comfortable using it, which makes projects more enjoyable.
