This is a great article showing ingenuity on how to get students involved and to take ownership of a project. The school is Oslo, Norway and the teacher, Ann Michaelsen, came up with an idea for her and her students to write a book together. Ms. Michaelsen teaches a mandatory English class and said the students were struggling. The book is called Connected Learners: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Global Classroom.

ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what you can do with a group of students when given the green light to explore and teach in creative ways. I also liked how she gave them the choice of participating in the book or not. Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing.
