For my project, my students will use their computer stations to research how an interview should/could go. There are countless methods for how this can be conducted. Students may watch videos of mock interviews, research the most common questions and answers of interview questions, as well as participate in an interview questions survey. Students will also use their computer to produce a presentation of both the correct and incorrect ways of answering pre-selected interview questions. These methods are items that students may be able to learn for future endeavors. With incorporating the use of student computers, the students are given the opportunity to get more familiar with how to properly use technology in an educational setting. This not only makes them better in finding/researching solutions using technology but, it will also benefit them later in the workforce. Technology integration in the classroom only helps widen the technology sources students may use.

I plan on my students also using the web 2.0 technology entitled Powtoon. Powtoon is an animated version of Microsoft PowerPoint in which, students have the opportunity of being more creative with the visual aspect of their presentation. The presentation that the students generate will be presented to their peers in order for the students to broaden their knowledge on the interview process. As well as, allow the presenters an opportunity to develop speaking and presentation skills in their learning environment. This application can show the students there's more to technology than the normal everyday use. It allows the students to think outside the box and be more creative in their design.
