Assignment 9

I enjoyed listening to Kevin Honeycutt's podcast. He had many interesting ideas and was also funny to listen to. I have been thinking about "project based learning" and how I could use it in my second grade classroom. I was thinking that I could have my students create math word problems and post them on a blog. I could then have other teachers have their students solve the problems and post their answers. My students could then "check" the answers and respond. I would have the students work in teams for this project. Different teams could be working on different types of problems depending on their abilities. This would be a much smaller project than the one described in the podcast but it would be something to start with and I could then build upon it.
