What is an Innovation Project?

As a teacher, I am always looking for the next best thing to inspire my students to become more active participants in their learning. After researching Kevin Brookhouser's 20% project, I was inspired to recreate a version of this project for my own students. Thus, the Innovation Project was born.

Getting Ready to Move into the Implementation Phase!

The class and I stepped away from the Innovation Project for the last two weeks to focus on reading Romeo and Juliet, but now we are ready to start thinking about how we are going to implement a solution to our questions. For me, this is the most exciting part because my students can start to employ their own creativity to truly be innovative.

Our goal for Wednesday's class will be to work a little on blogs and websites to upload what the students have already completed on the project. During Thursday's class, my goal is for students to start hashing out a plan for their implementation and final products, so when we return from Spring Break--they will be ready to start creating.

Before we know it, it will be the end of the year and our journey will be coming to an end. I cannot wait to see what the students create :)

Until next time!
