I'd love to hear how it goes with your students. :-) Within the next week, I'm going to cross post at my work blog: http://blogs.oregonstate.edu/techdoutlearning/ so feel free to share with that audience as well.<br /><br />Thanks Bill. The concept of community and learning coming together surrounding social justice is powerful! cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05017755595638209289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368069574256195545.post-16898080396037936752014-05-08T14:38:27.385-07:002014-05-08T14:38:27.385-07:00Project H Design developed a program, found here h...Project H Design developed a program, found here http://www.projecthdesign.org/. What they did is take unmotivated students and worked with them on design projects to enhance their community. They researched and built improved chicken coops, food stalls for farmers and a farmers market for their town. The idea is based on giving the kids what they need to learn to thrive, and include the subjects they are supposed to be learning as part of their research. For example design contains a lot of mathematical skills that could be taught through learning about design. Next year I am working with my Grade 5 class to focus on Visual arts, Theatre and Social Justice. I am going to teach as much as I can all the other subject areas through these topics.Bill Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897284281977541749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368069574256195545.post-35757102440633906402014-05-08T08:25:29.839-07:002014-05-08T08:25:29.839-07:00Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts Bi...Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts Bill.

This frightens them because they have to give up control and share it with their students. For the last year I have been using his methods in my class. They work rather effectively. My students are happier and more involved as they ask stronger questions and pursue their interests. Is it the way of education in the future? No, it is simply a path that will lead us to something better. I am fusing SOLE with Project H Design next year. I think this is closer to the way education should be.Bill Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897284281977541749noreply@blogger.com
