I am excited to be accepted into the Challenge Based Learning Pilot program through Full Sail University. After working with the Apple Challenge Based Learning Pilot project during the last few days, I have seem my students take ownership of their projects in a way that I had never thought possible. It is amazing to hear their ideas. They came up with things I hadn't though of during planning. Initially, I had a difficult time planning for open ended responses while making lesson plans. I felt like every moment had to be planned out. This is just how I learned to be a teacher. I had bell to bell teaching embedded in my brain. This has been a process of letting go of old ideas. This is a good thing. My students still have a ways to go before the process is over. So far this has been a worth while journey. Here is my challenge video. I am excited to see where this goes...
