Tuesday 3-5 Reflections

Our group continued to be impressed and surprized with the level of engagement of the students with their topics. Students have come up with some very interesting questions to explore and are using and refining their internet research skills in looking for answers. All three groups are struggling in various ways to come up with a product or project at the end of the week to reflect their learning. This is not terribly surprizing; the students are used to being told what they must do for a final product, not have to come up with something on their own. We realize we will probably need to be more involved in helping them select a culminating product.

This week studentws are "learning the ropes" of the invitations concept, but with practice I believe we will see students take ownership of their final products--and I suspect they will amaze us with their creativity in demonstrating critical learning!
