Final caveats:

Do: Do a project yourself to provide a sample for students

and to be able to anticipate challenges Test your technology (computer, internet connection)

where students will be doing the projects ahead of time

Demo step by step with students in a lab setting Start small if these types of projects are new for you,

students Be flexible with time Model adherence to copyright and attribution rules

Final caveats:

Don’t Expect masterpieces Lose sight of learning objectives Do computer projects only for technology sake Post students’ work, images online without their

permission
