Today I read a post by Jeff Utecht on the Thinking Stick titled "Explain the experiment." In this post Jeff talked about him and another teacher have been working together on numerous projects throughout the year. In the post he talked and explained their most recent project with this teachers ninth grade science class. Instead of the usual same science experiment and report the teacher thought it would be more interesting to do a voice thread and video of their experiments. What I thought mattered from this post was that sometimes these science projects can be very boring and overwhelming and her thought of making this assignment fun and enjoyable is what I though mattered. I know that sometimes when my school is very boring it is not exactly the first thing I jump to when I get home. With this project her students got to explore different types of technology and have fun with it. This was also a very beneficial assignment for teacher to grade also. Either way we all win! This is also very good practice for what seems to be coming in the future for schools and technology.
