Blog by Jodie Deinhammer: I strongly believe that students should have a voice in their education and that school needs to drastically change to meet the needs of our changing world.  School should look different than it did when I was there and I am doing what I can to change student experiences.

This year students are creating blogs or portfolios to document their learning.  They are given a challenge that connects our current topic of study to the world around them.  They can choose any challenge they want and can do as many as they want.  Each challenge they take, they blog a reflection and discuss their thoughts on it.  It surprises me how many students choose to do additional challenges, not to improve their grade, but because they are “fun”.
