Write your first blog post answering the question: "What does awesome look like in your classroom?" During our first session we talked about Project Based Learning, TPAK, and the new literacies according to Heidi Hayes Jacobs. Consider how you are already addressing these with your students, and share your experiences with the group. Also, brainstorm new ideas that you might try after exploring these concepts.
LG creates an environment that allows both teachers and students to show up with both their left and right brains engaged in meaningful activities. This happens on so many different levels and in a wide variety of disciplines such as art, music, social studies, foreign language and english. Students and teachers are creative and purposeful in the projects that are developed and the products that are created are everywhere to be heard and seen in the halls. The boundaries of learning are stretched on a regular basis and everyone is encouraged to push them further in their own ways as part of the learning process. As a teacher in this setting it is especially fun to be able to try teaching lessons in different ways and to experiment with new approaches in an effort to keep students engaged and interested in the material.
