I am totally excited about this weeks project. I am turning the tables on my students. They are going to be the teachers and I will be the student. Their assignment is to find something they are studying in another class and go above and beyond what they have learned. They are then going to make a PowerPoint or a Prezi to teach me. This project is going to exercise their research skills, their writing skills, and their presentation skills.

Another exciting aspect of this project is that most of the students are working on this with a partner. I set up one document and they silently collaborate online. We will be sharing our presentations next week.

Today's blog post was as follows:

Imagine you wake up one morning and discover you are the Principal of Edgewood Middle School. What is the first thing you would change and why?
