students, and if we are using them, how.

I would like to see more "shop talk" here on how teachers are  
actually using technology with students, especially as tools for  
project-based learning. Anyone else interested in this?


You can see several project types that my Beginning and Intermediate Level ESL students have done over the years at http://esl.adultinstruction.org/StudentWork.htm 

The examples are often accompanied by step-by-step handouts that I've used at various in-services and conferences so if the "how-to" is not immediately apparent, you can download instructions on how to have your students do the projects. Included among the examples are projects with Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Most involve the use of some type of graphic.
