<p>Who can <a href="https://www.domyproject.dev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Do My Project</a>? This is a question that has surely passed numerous lips especially by those who are faced with the task of writing a capstone project. What makes writing their project difficult is putting together a coherent and concise paper that will meet the requirements given by the school while impressing their readers. For some, the real challenge is writing the content based on the research that they have gathered. If this is the case, finding someone who can help with your project writing needs is worth considering.</p>
<h2>Do My Project – A Writing Service to Hire</h2>
<p>Capstone project writing is not that easy to accomplish given that this will be the culmination of your years in college. This means that you will have to present a proposal that is not only interesting but one that will cover as much as the lessons that you’ve encountered as possible. Unfortunately for some, writing a proposal is more challenging than they expected because they will need to convince their professors that the topic they want to expound on is worth discussing. Fortunately, our writing service can help you form a better proposal based on the information that you have on hand. Our writing team is composed of exceptional writers with degree holders who can assist you right from the start. We can even help you proofread, critique, and even edit your existing paper as needed so you will have better chances of getting your proposal approved. We know that writing your capstone is tough which is why we are offering a helping hand in case you need someone to guide you throughout your project no matter how fast you need it.</p>
<h2>Professional Project Help Online</h2>
<p>It’s not really surprising that many will turn to online writing services to help them with their capstone project especially when their goal is to submit the best paper that they can. However, just because there are quite a lot of options to choose from it doesn’t mean that all of them can provide the best help there is. You will need to do you research of course on the kind of services being offered but if you are running out of time or if you want to get the best value for your money you should come to us because this is exactly what you can get from us. We have been in the business of providing exceptional writing and editing assistance to our clients particularly when it comes to their final thesis. What sets us apart from other writing services is our more personal approach by assigning a writer who has the same background as you. This way, you will get your hands on a customized paper that will fit your needs.</p>
<h2>Expert Writers on Hand</h2>
<p>Why worry about who can do my project when you can get expert help from Domyproject.dev? It is understandable that you will turn to the pros for your thesis but why waste time going through other writing companies when you can put your trust in us? Our years in this service has given us the experience and the knowledge needed to come up with customized papers that will meet the needs of our clients to the letter. All that you have to do is place an order with us, choose the service you want us to do, pay the fee, and wait for our writers to get in touch with you. It’s simple, it’s easy, and you’ll get the best output from us in no time.</p> Deeper Learning MOOCtag:www.classroom20.com,2013-12-16:649749:Topic:9848972013-12-16T17:11:22.565ZKaren Fasimpaurhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/kfasimpaur

<p>I am Xavier and I teach Spanish at a Chicago Public School. I am currently looking for 7th and 8th grade Spanish teachers world wide to collaborate on a project with students. If you are interested you can respond to this thread.</p>
<p>Information about the project I want to carry out:</p>
<p>I want to create a "digital tourist guide for teenagers" where my students in 8th grade would create different sections of a guide about Chicago but as an online project in order to present students overseas with our urban environment from my students' perspective. This is in the early stages as we are just introducing vocabulary and expressions. The main focus is to use the foreign language but through fun activities where students will have to use it. Eventually, I am hoping that I will get other schools from other states and countries to participate of this and tell us about their schools and cities so that we can learn about them and expand our online teenage traveling guide. I also want students to create something different and interesting to market their city (video commercials, e-posters, e-flyers, etc.). This way different groups will have different choices of products to create too.This is an idea that is of course subject to modifications and suggestions from any other teachers/classrooms/students that would like to join!</p>
<p>Please get in touch if you are interested as I would like to start something soon!</p>

<p>Hey all, </p>
<p>I have a great parent at my school who recently (a few hours ago) wrote a letter to their child's sixth grade teachers, principal, two likeminded parents, and myself (their childs "tech teacher"). The letter was regarding a project I'm doing with them. </p>

<p>I have a great parent at my school who recently (a few hours ago) wrote a letter to their child's sixth grade teachers, principal, two likeminded parents, and myself (their childs "tech teacher"). The letter was regarding a project I'm doing with them. </p>
<p>Here it is. I edited names/school. And the CAPS are hers, not mine. :)</p>
<p>===</p>
<p><em>I have heard that the students are being required to use the computer to create the visual portion of their hero stories.[My daughter] would so much rather engage in REAL art to do so. I have heard others would prefer it also,such as [another boy] and [another girl], and perhaps more.</em></p>
<div><em>I could go on and on about my thoughts on over-reliance of technology but I will keep it brief.Our children are spending too much time staring at a screen and pushing a button to have a computer give them some computer program's version of the world, to the absolute detriment of their spirits.They are becoming one dimensional,stifled and detached from the beautiful world around them.Many recent publications by educators and child development specialists expound upon the negative effects of too much computer.Here with this hero project is a chance for the students to be truly creative,nourished by the richness of touch,smell,color,manual dexterity skills and the stimulation of their imaginations.I think they would really enjoy NOT staring at a screen for a change.</em></div>
<div><em>[School Name] is supposed to be a place that enriches and develops the whole child in a multitude of ways.In my opinion,doing an art project on a computer is just "more of the same".I request that [my daughter] and whomever else is longing to be nourished by a truly creative,messy,tactile,</em><em>physical and satisfying endeavor be allowed to do so.</em></div>
<div><em>Thank you,</em></div>

<div>BACKGROUND. :)</div>
<div> Project in a nutshell: The students are writing "Hero's Journey" stories- learning about mythology. They'll also be performing, in time period appropriate attire, props, etc. for their parents one night as a gallery. My involvement is, in essence, the scenery. I wanted to do something truly unique and new. So I decided to create an immersive experience with their presentation. This is not a PowerPoint-like presentation. The goal is use Video Projection Mapping- Google it to learn more about it. I stumbled upon it on YouTube and was impressed. It requires a great deal of ingenuity to say the least.</div>
<div> I'm posting this rant to 1.) vent and 2.) I know myself better than to auto-reply- I'm way to passionate about this subject than to fire off a quick response. This is an effort to formulate and craft my response.</div>
<div> I guess this just frustrates me so much because all of the proects I've done with them this year. Some of these parents aren't seeing the value in all this. Where do I begin?</div>
<div> Over the course of my time with with them this year, students have scrippted, recorded, editing, mixed, and mastered Public Service Announcements. They've Skyped with NASA scientists and created project files in Google Earth that have taken them around the globe, retracing routes of explorers, uploading photographs, and "journal" entries. We've worked alongside a local architect to design an outdoor classroom for our school with some grant money. These kids know Google SketchUp better than any high schooler I know.</div>
<div> I believe I've taught them well. I've verbalized to them the significance of having these skills. They see where it is applicable in the real world. And, most importantly, the've been trained by an adult to demonstrate RESPONSIBILITY when using technlogy. The kids know the do's and don't of social media. They know how they should handle themselves online. They know what Cyberbullying is and what it looks like. I've explained to them, in a circle, away from the screens, that each avatar represents a real human being. A person, just like them. This topic should be at the forefront of our students technology experience. Study's do show that screen time has deminised such a essential human quality as empathy. Heck, I've seen it, too.</div>
<div> You can't blame parents for their skepticism; after all, they've seen kids use "technology"at home. To them, it always looks a lot like Angry Birds, txting, or Facebook. I'd like to know what you all think. What would you say? Or, how would you respond. I need to vent here (clearly) and wait until tomorrow to respond- I know myself better than to "auto-reply". I'm far too passionate about this topic to do so.</div>
<div> Writing this has been beneficial and the process has helped me. Thanks for reading and I'd love to hear what you think. And, honestly, I really like this parent. I've had older sibilings of this student. It's a good family and she's never been one to cause issues. Their daughter is extremely bright, but I'm guess that the daughter may be way beyond her comfort zone here. I can see the other two students feeling uneasy, too. They're very bright.</div>
<div> For the students, I'll share with them that this is my first time, too. I've already spent countless hours learning, reading, researching this concept in an effort to create something truly unique. I'm uncomfortable with this project myself. It's a risk. I've never done it, nor do I know anyone who does. </div>
<div> I just didn't want it to be <em>"just more of the same"</em>.</div>

<p>Hello, I'm a French teacher and I'm looking for partners for a video project: I'm looking for teachers who would accept to make a video with their pupils in French about the places they like in their town.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The video can be done very simply with a photo camera or a phone, as long as the sound is good and the image is not moving too much. It must last less than three minutes and answer the question : Quels lieux de ta ville conseilles-tu de visiter ? Quels lieux de ta ville…</p>

I'm looking for teachers who would accept to make a video with their pupils in French about the places they like in their town.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The video can be done very simply with a photo camera or a phone, as long as the sound is good and the image is not moving too much. It must last less than three minutes and answer the question : Quels lieux de ta ville conseilles-tu de visiter ? Quels lieux de ta ville aimes-tu ?</p>
<p>A video can show two, three or four different places in the same town and the children should explain why they would advise to visit this place, why they like it. It can be a touristic place or not.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What interests us is the vision of the children on their town. Il would be published here :</p>
<p><a href="http://espagne.aquitaine.fr/spip.php?article1992&lang=es">http://espagne.aquitaine.fr/spip.php?article1992&lang=es</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The sound should be good and we would need the transcription to put it on the webpage which is meant for kids who learn French as well as kids who already speak french.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you're interested, please send me a message and I'll be happy to help you !</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Here is my question. I am far from a Cold War expert. I have been reading and learning about this situation, but I need some help.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who could be some potential people and/or countries for the students to portray? I think people would be best because they could take on the role of that person along with the country ideals.Can anyone help me generate a list of names that I could use and look into to help finalize this project.
