Read Project Report

I read Aleyda Linares "Building Teaching Skills Through the Interactive Web Project Report' 
The purpose of the report was to design and develop a web-based program and to examine the effects of interaction on problem solving and participation of students in the web-based learning process. The report was designed to support the various types of interaction that occur during the web-based learning process. 
Regarding the results for students' participation in the learning process, the differential effects were found. Depending on the type of interaction, students showed different patterns of participation in the web-based learning process. 
After I read this report, I have thinking my final report project. The purpose of my study is to present new direction of web based English writing program for elementary students by connecting web based reading and writing programs in which the learners are supposed to read digital stories and then write english journals on a web community, using web as a tool of communicating with another learners or teachers.
To accomplish this purpose, the following research questions will be set up
1) How does the web based interactive writing program affect elementary student's writing ability?
2) How does the web based interactive writing program change elementary student's writing aspects?
3) How does the web based interactive writing program affect elementary student's attitude?
To find answers for these research questions, twenty 5th graders who went to my elementary school in Jincheon were taught for one semester(from March 2011) by the method of reading and listening web contents which are chosen carefully in consideration of learner's level, competence, interest, and curriculum, and then writing journals.

  1. Hi Choi,
    I congratulate you for having already decided what your final project will contain. The questions you started with are very relevant for writing a good project. I'm sure that the attitude your students will adopt towards the web based interactive writing program will be a positive one.

  2. Dear Choi! This is great way to choose the research question that will "guide" you in your project. You choose the group of students who are so interesting in learning (elementary school students)! I believe that you will consider all details and facts of your research and it will help you to review your school curriculum and syllabus. We teachers have to find the way of work with innovative approaches. With the best, Natalia

  3. Hello Choi,

    I also read Aleyda's project and in it we can observe how challenging is the incorporation of technology to a regular class. I like your idea to promote writing programs in realtion to reading material online. I would like to know some of the writing programs you use in your country. Definitely the creation of a learning community online is a great idea and it would be easy to read students writing production and also it would be benefical for the teacher to mark papers online.

    Regards,

    Omar
