Step 2: Viewing Project Portfolios

You will look at concrete examples of units of work that incorporate projects in different ways.

  1. Go to the Project Portfolios section in the Resources section of the CD.

  2. Review projects based on grade / phase or subject / learning area.

  3. As you review the Project Portfolios, consider where and how they address the various elements of the Project Characteristics Checklist.

  4. Take notes on any ideas you could adapt for use in your own Project Portfolio.

  5. Discuss the following questions briefly in a small group:
  • In what ways did the projects support larger units?
  • How could you use these project ideas to enhance your own units of work

 

Note: The Intel® Designing Effective Projects resource on the CD contains more information about effective projects.
