Relevant Teaching Through CBL | This is what it looks like, but it looks a lot better on my Tiltnet website. I have started the website and have begun thinking about the Poster. I am actually really excited about getting this done. The movie is making me nervous, but I think, with some time working on it ,too, will come together. The Immigration Challenge Project is getting close to a climax. Students have to come up with their challenge this week after a week of research. I know that at least half of the challenges will be really good, but I am nervous about what the others will come up with. It is definitely a different kind of project. We will see. I am having a bit of an issue with the administration at our school and our district. I find that it is still hard to be authentically innovative when the emphasis is still on outcomes from testing. The lip service to 21st Century learning is still just that in many ways. I think I should stop now so that I do not get myself in trouble. |

Besides the fact that squirrels ate my Internet cable, I have been having a rather wonderful time with our Immigration Challenge Project. We are approaching week four, which is the time when teams will start implementing their ideas and coming up with their challenge. The idea is that, through their research, they should have enough background in their topic that they can come up with several ideas for a challenge, but can only settle on one. |

The Immigration Challenge Project is doing amazingly well. Of course, we have teams that are pretty dysfunctional, but we have been providing loads of group counseling to those in need. There is a building of excitement now that we are very clear on what our purpose is and the ideas are becoming better because students are asking great questions and figuring out what they need to know and what is relevant to their projects.
I have not had too much time to figure out my logo, taglines, etc. but I feel that I am doing exactly what I set out to do in this program. I am excited to get down to the video, poster and website. I certainly feel that I am prepared with lots of content for our Capstone.
It is great that we are finally getting back to having class. I miss the structure!
I have attached the PPT we have been using for the students so they can understand each stage of the project. I hope you can open it.
