This was a proposal for New Hanover County Schools. The project was completed for Ashley High School’s Life Skills 2 classroom for Trainable mentally Handicapped students. It included integrating age-appropriate software into the classroom. The report was submitted to the Technology Office, in which they wrote the software costs into the budget for the following 2006-2007 school year for Ashley High School to pilot for New Hanover County.
This was my first MIT course in the program. Without having the foundations course MIT 500, it was a bit overwhelming. The team was comprised of one person who had the foundations course and the other person and I had not. Looking back, we were fortunate to have someone to help guide us through the process but without MIT 500 it was hard to connect the process to any prior knowledge. I really enjoyed this class because the instructor tied in grant writing to the process which can be beneficial in any field.
