These projects were both implemented by the teacher giving parents and students guidelines, rubrics, and virtual tutorials.\u00a0 The parents and students worked on these projects from home, and then submitted them to the teacher.<\/p>\n<h3>Challenges or Obstacles:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Access to technology<\/li>\n<li>Comfort with the websites and software (teachers, families, and students)<\/li>\n<li>Engagement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Benefits and Successes:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Projects are easy to differentiate based on level of text, difficulty of task, and the student&#8217;s ability to comprehend the stories.<\/li>\n<li>Increased rigor due to asking students to come up with deeper understanding of the texts\/author&#8217;s work.<\/li>\n<li>Exposes students to rubrics and makes the project easy to follow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Additional Information:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/bestpractices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2015\/03\/Book-Trailer-Details.pdf\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0for a rubric of the 3rd grade book trailer<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/bestpractices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2015\/03\/Book-Trailer-Project-Samples.pdf\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0for examples of the book trailer project<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/bestpractices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2015\/03\/Smith_Poster_01262015.pdf\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0for a powerpoint \u00a0example of a poster session<\/p>\n<p><strong>Submitted by:<\/strong> Alissa Smith and Amanda Case, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.k12.com\/ha#.VQnKXkuaEds\">Hoosier Academy Virtual School<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Literacy Projects Helps Virtual Learning Students The virtual learning world is still a new one.\u00a0 Many projects, and project ideas, begin in the brick and mortar setting.\u00a0 Teachers in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,41,7,44,48,11],"tags":[86,105],"class_list":["post-1226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2015-showcase","category-elementary","category-ela","category-hoosier-academy-virtual-school","category-instructional","category-literature","tag-learning-styles","tag-virtual-learning"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/bestpractices\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/bestpractices\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/bestpractices\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/bestpractices\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/bestpractices\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/bestpractices\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1226\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/bestpractices\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/bestpractices\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/bestpractices\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
