ETEC 623 Project Proposal Format
Your Name: Edgar Chabolla
Project Title: Podcasts for Effective Teacher Instruction
Project Focus: Supporting technology (focus 3)
Project Description:
For this project I plan to submit a proposal for the design and development of pod casts that will be delivered through our website. The purpose of this project is to create a series of pod casts that will showcase tips on effective classroom management in order to assist new teachers. Current school supervisors will make recordings during our inservice sessions based on topics selected from the most common problems that new teachers face in the classroom. This pod casts will be posted on our site and updated as RSS feeds that teachers can subscribe, and will also include blogs from some supervisors to follow up with student questions and concerns. Finally the proposal will call for some training sessions for buddy teachers who are the main student contacts so that they can show teachers how to subscribe and also to showcase this to new intern teachers as part of their orientation session. As a technology leader this proposal will increase the use of technology in our program as well as getting the most use of our website and increase teachers use of technology.
Project Artifacts:
I will post the final proposal that will include, purpose, timeline, budget, and objectives.
I will plan to show the low cost and effectiveness of pod casts. As well as how this tool can keep teachers from leaving the program which is a common program.
In order for someone to approve a proposal like this it is important to be very descriptive of the process, timeline, budget, and overall goals of the project and explain the benefits that it will bring the program and most importantly the students.
Project Timeline:
This project will begin on February 15 and will end on March 11. I plan to have a better idea of RSS feeds as they will be an important part of the final product. The first part of the proposal will be very important as it will explain the purpose of the project. The second milestone will be the budget proposal. In the budget I need to include the hardware and software necessary to create a mobile recording setup that can be used during the in-service sessions, and also stipends for the supervisors in order to pay for the planning of their respective recordings.
