Teaching by questioning Real jobs from farm; 1 room school house What should students take with them for the rest of their life? Upon what should students reflect on years later? What is your student’s legacy? What contribution can your students make? If all children were teachers we would learn more- and all teachers should be learners Dan Pink’s “”Drive”- should not grade students for creative work Army of kids who design tutorials, saved on a web site…and archived Collaborative note-taking allows teachers to see notes immediately

Notes on the blog 1 kid has audio recorder; 1 kid has camera so documentaries….per week – then storyboard images and make podcast weekly (learning documentary) – mulit-media doc team kids want more work if it has purpose every kid has a job!
