Podcast Scripts
Hey guys!
I thought we could each post our podcast scripts here since it's part of the assignment.
Here's mine:
Good Morning Parents,
Ms. Merrit, Mr. Isch, and I, Ms. Root, want to keep you informed of what's happening in our classroom, so we've decided to create this podcast to reach out to you all in another form of communication.
As a teaching team, we've decided to use project-based learning, or PBL, as to move away from traditional teaching, and move towards a new vision of instructional design. PBL allows us to take advantage of digital tools for inquiry, collaboration, and communication to connect learners to one another, or, even to the world beyond this classroom. Instead of the teachers being the content experts, PBL enables the students to take on this role.
Our project, which we will explain shortly, will create memorable learning experiences because it lets the students explore their chosen topic in multiple medias, which teaches research skills, collaboration with their peers, decision making skills, hands-on creating, as well as presenting skills.
The students have chosen their topic of birding, and will come up with ways to research in order to put their big project together.
Now we will explain what has been going on in our classroom so far.

Lesson Plan Topics
Hey Guys,
Just wanted some feedback on what everyone was thinking about researching for their lesson plans. I think I may do some research on "the big year". I think its kind of a cool thing and I might be able to incorporate the film that just came out. Hope everyone is doing awesome!!!
