Bookends of war
I really enjoyed watching this video. The students look really into to and excited to be working with technology! getting them to help make individual parts of the class website is a great idea to make the project feel like their own, and getting them to be responsible. Having the students work in groups for this technology assignment is also really good, in the fact that they have to work together and socialize. it was clever for the teacher to teach one student in each group how to do everything, and in turn, that student has to teach the rest of their groups. The students are eager to come to class each and everyday, and they are more willing to help others out. All the students have to collaborate together to reach the same goal, this really makes it a great learning experience. This is a great way to get all the students involved because it is something different, its fun and exciting. It is great because it is not like the usual standard class where the students have to take on exam or a test. They get graded on their effort, their progress and that they are working efficiently. Using the computers as a large part of the class, they are able to gain many skills, which may help them later on in life when they are looking for a job. They know how to work computers and different technology items.
