Grant Proposal for Interactive Interdisciplinary Inquiry Institute

Specific Aim / Goal: A few sentences on the educational goal/outcome for my students.

First of all my students are highly visual. They respond better to learning materials presented to them on the LCD projector, documentary on TV and short presentations in form of skits. With this in mind my main aim is to depend less on the use of textbooks, tests and other printed materials and move towards performance based learning and assessment.

In addition, I intend to use audio equipments like CD players so that they can record lectures which they can listen to at their own time and also for playing back pre-recorded textbook information that come with core subject textbooks.

Most students I have presently do a lot of things with cell phones, IPods, Play station, X box and video games in general. I believe that by switching from traditional mode of teaching and learning to more high-tech modes, my students will be able to meet up with the demands of presently day
