So, I may reach out to you for some helpful hints. I like the live streaming aspect of the project, although, as I read it, I know I would be freaking out if I were a student in your class. But, like you said, it really puts the students in charge of their own learning - and as juniors and seniors, this is good prep for college level learning! Excited to hear how it progresses!Ms. Donlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363588971020779483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601782859478855009.post-15534106596199948922016-02-18T18:01:20.972-08:002016-02-18T18:01:20.972-08:00Can I please come into your classroom?

Unfortunately, you do bring up a valid point in where juniors and seniors get stuck in the "tell me what's on the test" mode. I love how you are having them dig into their own interests, providing them a relevant audience, pushing them outside their comfort zone and providing support along the way. I would love to hear how your 1-1 conferencing goes seeing as next year in a block schedule model I really want to have time to do this with my students. I completely understand this idea of being transparent while in the process, I am not a fan of it either, however, I just keep telling myself that in the end it will have helped to reach out and gain new insight for next time. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038199803907984261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601782859478855009.post-46439343870447289062016-02-18T10:06:37.145-08:002016-02-18T10:06:37.145-08:00I agree on the desire to be relevant driving my ch...I agree on the desire to be relevant driving my choices in the past. I always try to share my "fails" and "what I'd do differently" when I present, but I can frame and control those moments in a positive (and meaningful) way. Learning to learn on stage is going to take some getting used to!<br />JenGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412907345442614479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601782859478855009.post-23573380256127929862016-02-17T21:37:22.958-08:002016-02-17T21:37:22.958-08:00I think of myself as a very open and transparent p...I think of myself as a very open and transparent person. After reading your post, I thought about my own blog. Nearly everything I post is something that happenED, not something that is happenING. I am not sharing the live progress, and thus I subconsciously filter like crazy. In my case, I don't think it is fear, but a desire for relevance to an audience. I don't think there is value in sharing what didn't work for me (even though after reflecting consciously on it, I DO see value in it). This course, with the high frequency of blogging required, will hopefully push me to the same level you're feeling.<br /><br />That aside, the GH projects sound awesome. I'll be tuning into that live stream!Andy Pethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159258049094512496noreply@blogger.com
