Case Study Projects
In the comments section please post your case study topic idea. Here is the information from the syllabus about the case study presentation – which is due the final class.
Please select a technology (historical/current/emerging) that was not discussed in class. Your case study will include a written component and a visual component covering the following areas:
1. Implications in the classroom environment.
2. Evolution of the technology.
The final night you will present you finding to the class. Your presentation should focus on the technology you chose to research, addressing each of the focus points listed about. Your presentation should be in the form of a video podcast. Presentations should be no more than 1o minutes in length.
Here are a couple of sites to help you come up with ideas if you are struggling.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi, Lance. As we were talking in class I have decided to use the evolution of the camera for my case study.

I’d like to do my project on the evolution of video in the classroom.

Hello Lance, I decided to do my case study on the pen/pencil/writing tool. I think it would be interesting because the pen/writing tool has changed dramatically over time with the advent of technology. Example: a burnt stick to a Pulse Pen.
I think you may know where I got the idea.

Hey Lance,
What about the evolution of computers?
Kristy Foley · December 7, 2009 at 9:50 pm
I will do the white board/ smart board evolution.

Changing mine…evolution on how students get information. IE…newspapers to encyclopedias to books to internet to podcasts…etc.

I’m going to be doing my case study on the evolution of the paper document in the classroom.
Michelle Kemp · February 9, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Hi Lance,
I have decided to do my project on Webquests.
This is something I have sort of looked into and would
love to learn more about. As far as evolution with
webquests go, could I discuss researching in encyclopedias,
microfiche, newspapers, and whatever came before that,
to finding information through a webquest? Let me know
what you think. Thanks!

Hi Lance,
I would like to do my project on cell phones. I find it interesting how far phones have come in such a short amount of time. I remember the big car phones in the early 80′s and now it is a mini computer.

Lance I would like to do mine on the iPod, but want to know if it would overlap with Liz Morell’s topic? If it does I will change mine. Thanks Debbie

Apparently I posted my topic in the wrong blog.
I would like to do my project on projectors. I was thinking of following the evolution of the projector. I guess it would go from the overhead projector to the ELMO projector to the LCD projector????
Debbie Angelini · March 15, 2010 at 5:55 pm
Lance, I want to change my topic for the case study. I would like to do it on an augmentative communication device- the talk box.
Billy Truax · March 22, 2010 at 5:03 pm
My case study is on response systems in the classroom.

Charlie Loya Jr · April 25, 2010 at 10:34 am
I would like to do my project on how students are using netbooks/laptops in the classroom and going paperless. I think it might be broad but that is the idea that I am thinking of. Please let me know what you think or if I am over my head.
Melissa Evans · April 26, 2010 at 12:44 pm
