In addition, students are expected to participate in projects and discussions and to submit written assignments as well web crafted projects as noted. Students are required to have access to high speed internet connections in order to research, develop, design and create presentations. Some classes will meet at night and online. Students are expected to attend those classes when they do not directly conflict with another course meeting times. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">media type="custom" key="25213940"

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">1. **Superbetter** (20%) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Superbetter is a game that we are going to play both during class and as homework. It is online. It is free and easy. But, it takes time. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">You must: <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•create an account <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•build at least ten power-ups <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•choose an epic win <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•design at least 5 bad guys <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•make three quests <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•post activity updates daily <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•become allies with at least three classmates <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•make 5 future boosts <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•create a secret identity <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">•write a 1-2 page paper on how this game might be used in a specific educational setting; <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">due last day of semester.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">On the last day of class, in May, you have to give a five minute presentation to the class about your experience with the game. You will be graded based 50% on the score you get on the game (500 points=100%), 25% on your oral presentation and 25% on your 1-2 page paper.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**OPTION**: Instead of writing and presenting on Superbetter, you can write and talk about what you learned about teaching from differencemakers. The question is this: What skills and knowledge did I learn from participating in differencemarkers that I can apply to teaching? Here is how it will be graded:
 * 25%** On what skills we have learned from Difference Makers
 * 15%** On what we have learned about ourselves during Difference Makers (i.e. I am not a good public speaker when I make a script)
 * 10%** What we liked and what we did not like about Difference Makers. Suggestions on how the experience could have been better.
 * 30%** How can the skills and experience from Difference Makers be applied to teaching
 * 20%** Presentation on what you have learned about yourself from Difference Makers, the skills you have learned, and how can the skills and your experience in Difference Makers be applied to teaching.

It too should be 1-2 pages, but it's ok if it goes to 3.
