Project ideas:

  1. Combining music (i.e. songs, etc.) with grade 7 Social Studies in an interactive website.
  2. A "how-to" program for teachers and parents about coding and disabilities/psychological assessments.
  3. Help for on-line high school students to improve communication and understanding of expectations in on-line courses.
  4. Giving students a way to easily access independent study materials to balance any inequities in their grammar proficiencies as they enter into the level of instruction taught in ESL. The materials should be customized to represent the competencies I am assuming they have, allow them to independently assess themselves, practise and then evaluate their understanding.
  5. Providing authentic experiences in notetaking practise outside of class. A way to listen to or view lectures and be supported in notetaking and building understanding of the material as support for the limited instruction time available for this important skill.
  6. Interactive organizer to help a child clean his(her) room (presented as a game, starting with "make this room look like yours").
  7. Tutorial on hatching and incubation (ducks)
  8. Degree Planner (utility to allow people to plug in various courses and check to see what they still need to complete a degree.
