Choosing a project, starting to work at it.

Project guidelines:

Design a project in English for a level that you choose. It will stretch across several lessons (decide how many) and various different ICT Tools should predominantly be used.

• The basic working tool is your PBworks wiki, from where the description of the project, as well as all the necessary instructions for students, weblinks, documents and illustrations are provided. 

• Decide which other tools from the list of suggested webpages/tools in this course should be used. Their use must make sense for the tasks designed.

• Give clear instructions about how students' project results should be presented / provided.

• The design of the project and all the materials necessary to actually use it in class should be ready for presentation in the last sessions, on December 13/20.
