What makes a project interesting and fun. Is it the teacher's motivation to drive the project to make it fun, and ability to be well informed from the project the class will a-dress. Is it the students interest to create the project. If not then is it the information that you understand when viewing the project. What make a project fun, interesting and gives it a wow factor is the students knowledge on the project, the teacher's positive motivation to capture the students creativity and above all the content that it is being addressed. For a project to considered a suceess is by having all parts combined to make the project informative to the reader. There are many ways technology can be used to help the students creativity in the project. Computers and cell phones can be used only if the classroom is following the rules of using technology. If its from using a computer, camera, video recorder to cell phone, the teacher must address the proper handling usage of technology in the classroom. The project that the classroom will choose has to be realistic, it has to have meaning to the students and teacher. If the project is informative from learning the water cycle, but does not have the proper information on what the water cycle is about or how it affect the world then the project needs extra help to fix the problems or it is not very informative. The teacher and students have to be aware of what topic they are adressing and the audience that is learning about the topic.
