Arnie Abrams' webinar was very practical and useful. I love the way it had ideas for all ages and all stages of learning. Lisa Snitker has a great list on her blog for those interested in a summary. The flash card idea was very simple but very appealing...I want to share that with our foreign language teachers. I just really believe that when you create things, you learn better...just like Abrams noted about the 'phoetry'!
Two good points I liked: 1. It's not the product, it's the process!, and 2. With most of these projects, there is as much writing going on as if the students had written a paper.
I also think I want to incorporate the 'Each Teach' concept from Janie Schomberg's class. Let students explore a little and then teach others. Provide a framework and rubric and let them create. A big part of the Iowa Core Curriculum is moving away from sit-and-git teaching to "facilitating" learning.
This all fits so well!
