Technical Difficulties

Hello Class,

I have been trying to get this video thing together and it is not working for me. I won't stop trying but for now just read the essay handout I gave you and create the best draft you can. You should come to class with 5, typed, double-spaced, pages. Remember, you can use the brilliant stuff you have already written in your blogs. 

Have a good weekend!

Dylan Garity "Rigged Game"


What might a change in education look like?

I often wonder can we really drastically change the way we teach k-12? Can we embrace a problem-posing pedagogy in every subject? The school High Tech High in San Diego really shows the infinite possibilities if we begin to revise classroom practices. Watch and on your own blog tell me what you think.

Due on Monday by 5 pm., Feb 2. Response to Recycling the Gift

On your blog, respond to the documentary we watched together in class "Recycling the Gift: Passion Project II."
 

Write about what you agreed with or disagreed with; feel free to write about any personal connections you have to parts of the film; connect what is said by students and faculty in the film to the readings used and discussions we have had in class.

Please write at least two pages. All this work will help you form your future essay.
