Overt the past few days, I've sat down and really tried hammering out my goal and final course project for this program. My goal is as stands
1. To research and implement Microsoft Sharepoint for all Introduction to Engineering Students.
2. To train students how to use Microsoft Sharepoint as the main online delivery model for course materials, documents, and presentations.
Over the past few days, I have went through a lot of frustration of working with Microsoft Sharepoint, because the program is more catered to a business environment. Educators need to alter their means of delivery to make the program work efficiently. Additionally, there has been a variety of restrictions placed on the program by our district coordinators that doesn't allow me to push the envelope and provide the students the education they deserve. Fortunately by working with them and offering suggestions, I have created a course environment that I believe will be fitting for all of my Introduction to Engineering students. Over the next few days/weeks, I will continue to look at the variety of options that the program offers and find better ways to improve my educational model for delivery.

Have you chosen Sharepoint because it's part of a license package at your school/district? Or do you feel it offers the best features (assuming you're allowed access to them!)? I guess what I'm really asking is why Sharepoint?
ReplyDeleteOur school went to sharepoint to get away from Blackboard because they said the costs were too high.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of Sharepoint before. I might have to do a little research on it. We just got our Moodle server last week! I'll be interested in seeing how your project turns out.
ReplyDeleteNick, I have never heard of this program before. It will be interesting to know how a business designed program would work in a classroom setting.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you have done a nice job on your goals. They are clear and concise. I am having a difficult time getting mine to that point however it is nice to have a good example! Thanks!
