So...the module 2 deadline has come and gone...and I am still working on Module 2! I have decided to try to do more student centred assessments (other than exams) in my classroom (harder to do on-line). This is one of the focuses of the Learner Centred Assessment Article published by the University of Waterloo. I am trying this with my SDS in partners and my unit 4 project instead of doing a unit exam. I feel like I do a better job of making learning student centred in Health Science than I do in Bio/Chem 30...but I am starting to work on that with my assessments.  I will keep you posted!

21CE Module 1 Reflection

I know I am a bit late on this reflection, but my Bio 30 students just finished their creative photosynthesis or cellular respiration projects. They all chose to do cellular respiration, as they felt this is the one they wanted more review on. I loved the outcome! They all chose a different way to represent their learning. I saw cellular respiration as a movie trailer, as a country song and as a stop motion video. I loved that this assignment let the kids explore new technologies (we haven't even talked about stop motion before), but was still about the content. I think introducing the creative process allowed the kids to think about what they could do and not about the restricting nature that is content in Bio 30. The two girls that created a stop motion video shared it with me via youtube. Check it out! Definitely doing this project again!
