Chapter 3

Chapter 3 was a little overwhelming for me. November is really telling us that we will need to change our roles as teachers and let others step in to help teach as well as letting students begin to start guiding their own learning. I find this thought exciting and scary at the same time.

Letting others have access to our classroom to enhance and collaborate is not new, but the how it might be done in the future will be.

I like the video project idea, it might be something we can do in science or in social studies using "local experts" to link us with the community.

Problem solving on a big scale would be a benefit to using collaboration, but again I find it a little scary as it will take us out of our regular roles and change how we approach education. Are we ready for this? Some will be, the challenge will be to move ourselves out of our comfort zone and into a new one.
