Although there are individual assignments i.e. pages being layed out, photos being taken, etc., it is an effort produced by the entire class. This projector would bring them together even more by allowing them to critique and reflect as a class more effectively and meaningfully in the process leading up to publication, and even prior to that, leading up to starting to produce the first issue with their practice assignments. They will learn to rely on their foundation of knowledge and have confidence they are being supported by the whole class in which they are all working towards a common goal. The goal being that students learn the basics, and then once that occurs, pedagogically other leaders in the class and I will facilitate continued learning and engagement. Students will be hands-on when practicing and following along with me and other students who are learning by teaching and demonstrating using the ceiling-mounted projector. Based on constructivist theory, this tech tool will allow the content to be learned through a more collaborative and experiential pedagogical approach. As a family/community of learners, the production of the paper is everyone’s responsibility and thus everyone’s learning and proficiency motivates collaboration and helping others to build on whatever knowledge they have. Giving projects and allowing for own discovery and experimentation, the goal will be reached because they are motivated to utilize this new technological tool when it used in a way that is consistently relevant to their engagement with their own understanding. They can use it to learn, ask questions, demonstrate their own understanding, and grow from what they have produced.
