Planning a Showcase
During this time, you think about the benefits of showcasing learner projects, consider how you can manage a project showcase in your classroom, and prepare your Project Portfolio for a showcase with your colleagues.
Step 1: Showcasing Learner Projects
You may want to invite parents or other classrooms to culminating events like a showcase to provide authentic feedback and to celebrate your learners’ achievements.
When learners realize that a wider audience than just their teacher and peers will view their work, they tend to invest more time in product development, often resulting in better projects.
Showcasing products created with ICT tools often demands different methods of facilitation than showcasing products created with more conventional tools.
