Activity 11.6

Step 2: Preparing for the Showcase

You have the option of using a wiki to showcase your project. Facilitating a showcase through a wiki means that the files are easily accessible to participants and observers during and after the showcase. If learners use online thinking tools, a wiki makes accessing the projects easier. If you decide not to use a wiki, use this time to organize your files and open your learner sample thinking tool project.

1. Go to your wiki site and log on.

2. Create a new subpage for your showcase.
   1. Add a title for your page starting with your first name (for example, Claire's Showcase).
   2. Include the following details on your wiki page:
      • Your Project Plan's title
      • A brief summary
      • Your Curriculum-Framing Questions
      • An active link to the thinking tools login page:
        http://educate.intel.com/workspace/student/login.aspx

3. Upload the following files for your showcase. (You may want to rename the files, or provide a description, so they are clearly identified for your reviewers.)
   • Project Plan
   • Assessment(s)
   • Any other documents you would like to share

3. You have several options for collecting feedback as you present your Unit Portfolio. Your colleagues can:
   1. Provide feedback on a subpage of your wiki
   2. Upload completed Showcase Feedback Forms to your wiki
   3. Fill out printed Showcase Feedback Forms by hand
