The project in 25 Points :
1. 40m2 class with 50 students , Lack of Technology and lack of resources
2. More than 40 % of the students smokers and part of them drug abusers
3. Physics is unwelcomed subject with success ratio 68 %
4. Physics lab has no equipment and “ electricity “ as a subject is dangerous for students to experiments on.
5. We have only 1 computer and 1 smartboard.
6. ( based on Gardner’s Multiple intelligence theory )We categorized the students into 8 groups “ Thinkers , Judges , Accounts , Engineers , Inventors , publicity , artists , quality control” and students suggested one more group “ First-aid “
7. Based on “ ADDIE Model “ we passed through 5 phases of the project “ Analysis , Design , Development , Implementation and Evaluation “
8. All students are free to form or join any group of them ONLY Judges through elections . They’re responsible for settling down any disagreements.
9. Thinkers put forward the Topic idea “ Electricity conservation “
10. In Court shape sitting , the Judges through voting declared that “ Electricity conversation is the problem and solar-cells is the solution “
11. With On-site survey , “ Accountants” determine the part of the city that has maximum consumption of electricity using graphs on excel
12. Engineers Group reported the availability of using solar cells there considering the atmosphere conditions and safety.
13. Inventors Group suggested the pattern of the solar-cells that can fit the buildings there.
14. They all together work on a real-model with the help of “ Virtual Lab Program” to make sure of the correct connections and make an approx. cost
15. Arising problems are to be settled in the weekly meeting where judges rule
16. Using Microsoft Yammar instead of Facebook for more security especially for those students who are recuperating from drugs was an advantage
17. Lync was our crystal clear magical clue as we depended mainly on it to engage absent students in our class , also holding meetings and sharing files synchronously. It was effective while communicating with students from other countries to assess the work.
18. Smart phones that most students have were another success factor.
19. Quality control Group “ Spider Group” that connect all groups together – watching the progress on the website and skydrive then reports every step of every group using criteria and rubrics and suggest modifications to the plan if it is necessary.
20. Publicity team work on a website that have 5 parts every group is responsible for a part.
21. Artists are acting , drawing , sing for promoting a campaign to support the project
22. At a Collective Meeting The final report with a brief abstract enhanced with the experimental findings are sent to ( 1- Ministry of Education & 2- the Governor Office ))
23. We had 9 fully-recuperated drug-abusers students.
24. We had this term 95% success percentage in physics
25. We achieved a great level of Collaboration , Knowledge Construction, self-regulation, real-world problem-solving and innovation , the use of ICT for learning , skilled communication
