This week I plan to have a meeting with the teacher whom I'm working with about the project and what we need to do get this off the ground. She has some ideas and I have some ideas so we just need to discuss our plans for this project. Since I'm working with a teacher on this project, I'm having a 6200 flash backs and working with the client.
I think this is going to be the most challenging project I've worked on in my graduate studies. Primarily because this is going to be the one of the few times I work with students as opposed to teachers. It should a FUN challenge.

Hi, Roman,
Love the photo! LOL. Maybe you could wear some type of costume when you teach this lesson.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing what your teacher/client has to say in regard to her expectations for the project. I think after we hear from her and have a better vision of what type of activities she wants to include, we can start brainstorming about ways to reach LoTi level 4.

I couldn't agree with you more, Roman. This project will be challenging, especially considering the age of the students you (and I) are trying to instruct. Dr. Moore even said that implementation of LoTi levels above 3 would be tougher for students younger than middle school. I think we will all get there (figure out what to do) as the semester progresses. I know my project will barely be a 4a... just have to get over the student directed part. Good luck working with kids vs. teachers. Funny... I can't wait to work with teachers instead of students as an LSTC! :) See you later.
Although I know it is possible to have LoTi Level 4 and above instructional activities with elementary students, I agree with you all that this is a challenge. The same challenge I am wrestling with.
Last Spring in EDIT 6360, our class did inquiry based research projects on a curriculum topic. The directions from the syllabus are pasted below:
2nd I-Search project-
The object of this I-Search will be to experience the I-Search research process within a curriculum content topic. In this case, the general topic will be K-12 research processes related to inquiry learning. You will choose from processes existing in the slm literature (e.g. Big Six, Yucht, Pappas and Tepe, Kuhlthau, etc.), creating an essential question that will help you increase your learning about research processes, information processing, and inquiry learning. You will replicate your research process followed in your first I-Search project.
As students we were given a curriculum based topic [important to us as current or future school media specialists) and we chose what we wanted to learn about the topic and how our final products would look.
Perhaps this could serve as a model for learning more about bugs??? Your students would pick the bug to learn more about.... (whatever the standards require) but they wouldn't be limited to the GPS requirements.
