Friday, 22 March 2013, 4th hour, library

At the table: Jay S, Jim Lewis, Sarah D, Sarah Z, Susan W (for a few minutes)

We are Fairview Day today

  • the kids kind of love it--they get to choose what they get to do with their time in school today
  • we give up some control today and yet they still want to learn
  • Jay and Jared ended up running a session this morning on "Your Digital Life" because the speaker didn't show up.
    • what about more of this kind of thing? where WE, the teachers, do some sessions about things that we know/do/enjoy
    • Once a month? then have the kids respond to what they learned and teach US something
    • Jay's experiences in the MOOCs he's taking--a concept a week, teach it back to the rest of the students at the end of the week.
  • And then Jay told us his vision for a different FHS...
