Student Post - Strand Session 2 - Building a Skateboard

The Skateboard workshop was an interesting activity. There is no doubt that this is a great strand to be in. I really want to be able to implement this philosophy of teaching. I wish that before painting we had a clear idea of what we wanted to do. We just jumped into it. I liked the logo 'I SK8'. But the "sponging off" didn't go as I would have liked. C'est la vie!!!!

The Transparent Classroom through Reverse Teaching

Learn how to flip the script and teach backwards, where students teach the class by using hands on projects and classroom management tools. See in action how to put yourself at the “back” of the class while your students take the main stage. Rather than being the “sage on the stage”, empower your students to become the keeper of the knowledge keys.

We will learn how to put students front and center by participating in a hands on environment building cars, skateboards, robots and prototypes. We will accomplish this while all the time maintaining a Transparent Classroom where parents, principals and pupils can “see” their work online anytime and anywhere.
