Two weeks ago, we started the third quarter at SLA.
As I last posted, I seem to have challenged my kids to change the world in 9 weeks or less.
Friday, they started posting.
The basics are this:
- Pick a problem.
- Build a feed reader with at least three feeds on your problem and search/bookmark viable sites.
- Throughout the quarter, write 10 informational posts using the information from your reader/bookmarked sites.
- Throughout the quarter, write 5 reflective posts on your progress.
- Draft an 3-5 minute "elevator pitch" for a possible change agent to show you know what you're talking about.
- Draft an action plan around a realistic solution to the problem you've selected.
- Meet with an identified change agent and present your pitch and action plan.
I'll be linking the formal project and rubric descriptions soon.
More later.

Ditto what mrplough said - especially since I'm teaching that course with him! Should be exciting. We are SO stealing your stuff! (Hope that's okay!)
I am incredibly impressed with your project and would like to copy it with my students and possibly collaborate with our students. Currently, I am taking the online CFF grad course at Wilkes and I wrote about your project for one of my learning logs. You are cutting edge 21st century education and I applaud you. Whenever you get a chance, could you contact me at rjstangherlin@stsd.org. Thanks so much for leading the way with your students.
