That the classrooms of yesteryears is not what will make your student successful tomorrowyears. Even inside Lutheran Schools we have a great divide. We have the schools who are on the cutting edge, the schools who are just doing the same thing, thinking the kids need to learn, but it worked for the last 50 years, why change, and then we have our Classical Ed schools. I don't know much about our classical ed Lutheran schools, so I don't want to say something that is not true, but what I get out of it is they teach a lot from rote memory. This next semester I am teaching as an elective to our 6,7,and 8th graders. I am using <a href="http://www.21things4students.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.21things4students.net/</a> It has evolved into a fun but learning curriculum plan that will help students be prepared in the future. <br /><br />As for what category my school is in? We are doing some great things, but there is so much more we want to do.Coach Burkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722175469847481622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632007.post-12484550157921698862013-01-07T07:41:09.874-07:002013-01-07T07:41:09.874-07:00I think you list is pretty inclusive! My two cents...I think you list is pretty inclusive! My two cents: I like to stress the timelessness of collaboration over the web with students. Working with LA and writing, I do a lot of editing on google docs student work. They read comments and we resolve the issues - sometimes even on Saturday or Sunday! I love it when I get contacted by a student outside of class. So much more can be learned in on going conversations about writing, and anything else, I imagine. Before becoming a Google Apps School this was not happening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
