It is the end of the semester, and what a journey it has been. I haven't blogged in awhile, as I have been working on my digital pedagogy project for this course. Working on this project has been a fantastic experience of blending what I have learned about pedagogy for the way today's students learn, with the selection of digital tools and methods for teaching and also for students to demonstrate their learning. I was able to collaborate with a colleague, Victoria Curtis, to actually develop a semester long integrated studies course for U.S. History and English 11, which focuses on American literature. This project gives a general overview of the course and models the opening unit we will teach. We will teach a modified version of this course beginning in January, with full implementation next Fall. We have also begun plans for the second semester of this course, which will be an American Teenager project. All of this is thought-provoking, authentic, and very exciting. Take a look at my project, which I have put into a Blendspace: Just press Play and you can walk through each element.
