ENACTMENT PLAN

Students in one section of Mrs. Bewley’s 10th grade Media Arts class and one section of Mrs. Fuller’s 9-12 Drawing and Painting classes will participate in the enactment of visual design and collaborative learning on the subject of mandalas.  Mrs. Fuller’s students create mandalas via traditional drawing and painting methods (see Exhibit "Fuller Mandala Assignment") and Mrs. Bewley’s students will create digital mandalas using their own photographs.  Students will meet each other, critique, and provide responses via Skype and through the use of Marqueed and Google Docs, email, and Drive.  Students will assess personal learning via collaborative online tools.  Teachers will assess student processes, online learning tools, and facilitation of learning via survey, formative and pre- and post- assessment.

The purpose of this enactment is to fulfill the requirement for University of Michigan-Flint EDT 660 and to learn collaboratively with Mrs. Bewley, her students, and the students of Mrs. Fuller.

Student Preparation.  Both teachers will prepare students by introducing the project.  Teachers will explain what will happen through the enactment by addressing whole groups.  Prior to student engagement across classrooms, each teacher will have students do a pre-assessment to determine level of prior knowledge and experience with collaborative learning using Marqueed, Google Docs, Drives, and email, Survey Monkey and Skype.
