Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi describes flow as the time when you're
so engaged in an activity that your sense of time disappears.
Hi, I'm Heather Dowd and I want to inspire classroom innovation so that all
students are this engaged in learning.
Our playground for classroom innovation is our new social media club,
i of the Tiger.
Students choose their projects, work collaboratively, and publish their
writing, podcasts and videos on the club blog.
Teachers act as facilitators encouraging students to be responsible for their own
learning.
Students learn collaboration, research, project management, creativity, and
technology skills by solving real problems.
we use google docs to collaborate and blogger to publish the world and get
feedback
Our plan is to spread our love of learning from our club to the classroom
because learning is not solitary and disconnected. It is dynamic, collaborative
and inspiring.
By working together, we can help students lose sense of time and learn.
