Project Proposal

Hi,

This week, our comedy group team has concentrated on preparing project proposal based on Dr. Glazewzski's recommendation from the meeting we had with her on Monday. After Monday, we had several meetings to discuss the proposal. We are first going to describe the planned intervention. We are going to define our purpose and our project objectives. Our purpose is to help first grade teachers to create and use play-based activities. Our context will include Web Based Learning Platform,  instructional videos, written instructions, and opportunities for teachers to report their experiences implementing the activities. We are going to create short videos (1-5 minutes) based on Winn's principles of message design. Website content will not include a lot of text and still images. 

The objective of such  is to increase active student engagement. We can measure student engagement by observing students' mental attention to a learning subject or by a physical activity.The physical activity makes easier to observe and measure the levels of engagement immediately. Students in Indiana public school have difficulties for transition from kindergarten to third grade. This transition can be especially difficult for students more used to learning through play-based activities. Therefore, we hope to help and encourage teachers for these reasons. 

Thanks,

Remzi
