These activities, the poster and the project, were very funny and interesting. I found them also very useful. The project poster allows teachers to create a lesson, a worksheet, or a class page, and assign projects to students. These students can be bilingual or just readers, like ours in CCH. The aim here is to complete the assignment on line, and of course it is going to be corrected the same way, or at least, it is going to have sort of feedback by the teacher. It includes images, texts, titles, subtitles, or any kind of graphic or info.
Its applications can be ilimited in education, so you can design any kind of activities or assignments for your students. The kind of the activities will depend on the type of class you need to perform. Here, at CCH, can be done for graphic organizers, for mind maps, for concept maps, pie graphs, etc., about a certain text or also can be done in a collage.
The difficulties I might find are the language itself and the usage of the technology, because of their level of English and their economical situation. That is, they may not have a computer and they don't have full command of the language, and this page is totally in English.
I would solve these problems having the class in the computing lab, make them follow my instructions in Spanish, and giving them the activities and the instructions in Spanish, but not the texts or the information to fill with in the graphic organizers.
This experience has been exciting and enlighting. I think is the tpc I like the most from all the ones I have taken. Thanks a lot for doing it like that.

Celeste I think you're a very creative teacher and have lots of ideas about the use of the Project Poster. What you said about guiding the students with instructions written on the board is a good idea that I'll copy from you. I hope that in the near future We can have a joint project with our students.
It would be great, let's do it!!
Carmen, I think your'e right. You can make any number of activities on line with these tools, it all depends on our creativity.
