= **ECI 509, Summer II, 2011** = = **NC State University** =



====For those graduate students who are participating in the **New Literacies Teacher Leader Institute** and also taking it for credit as a member of **ECI 509 - 601**, you will be responsible for completing all of the institute requirements as explained throughout the institute wiki. In addition, you will be responsible for completing the following:====

====- For the **New Literacies Problem-Based Inquiry Project (PBI)**, you will create the instructional plan as well as __both__ technology products (rather than just one like those folks who are attending but not taking ECI 509): **//a)//** a technology product that will assist and enhance the teaching of your plan //(DUE:// Friday, 7-29 ),  __**and**__ **//b)//** a technology product that will represent a model or example of the type of technology product your students might create as a part of your instructional plan. //DUE:// Monday, 8-1 or sooner ) //. **Note:** You can switch the due dates for these as needed (e.g., post **b** on Friday and **a** on Monday if that works better for you and your partner).// For both technology products, you can simply link, embed, or post them on your project wiki page as you did with the first. You will need to cue us when they have been posted.====


 * =====**Important Note:** For your PBI Instructional Plan, you will be collaborating with one other Institute participant. This may or may not necessarily be someone from the 509 course. You may collaborate on one technology product, but the other should be one you create on your own. Both can be posted to your project page.=====

====- **NLI Institute Closing Reflection:** Following the institute, you will be responsible for completing an **NLI / 509 Reflection** -- The questions you should respond to in your reflection are available here and at the link above. //Reflection Due:// Thursday, 8-4 or sooner. Please email to Lee and Young at john_lee@ncsu.edu and carl_young@ncsu.edu ====

====- **Teacher Leadership Plan** - As a part of the Institute, Friday will feature a session that addresses teacher leadership. As part of your responsibilities for the course, you will create a leadership plan that builds on that day's experience. For ECI 509, you will flesh out a plan in greater detail and include a specific context for implementation (e.g., a faculty presentation if you will be teaching in the fall, a Friday Institute brown bag presentation for the fall semester, a professional conference presentation, etc.). The goal here is to develop a leadership presentation in which you share specific information and skills that you have learned from the Institute with other teachers / colleagues. //DUE:// Tuesday, 8-2 or sooner //.// Note that the assignment title is a link -- click on it to find a page where all of you will have a name link.

====- **Cool Tools Review and Application Plan** - Write a review and reflection of the Cool Tools sessions you attended as a part of the Institute. In addition, create a contextualized lesson or unit plan in which you conceptualize putting these tools into action as an instructor and foresee having your students engaging in activities using these tools for content specific learning. DUE: Wednesday, 8-3 or sooner //.// Note that the assignment title is a link -- click on it to find a page where all of you will have a name link.
