Click! That's the sound I hear throughout the day as I work with my students. They are constantly connected and constantly documenting their lives. They are also constantly faced with challenges that extend beyond the walls of our learning times. I am looking to keep things exciting and challenging in my classroom by providing them with learning experiences which challenge them both creatively and authentically. The students in my classroom are 9th-grade transition students who are insightful and funny, and who ask for very little, but give SO much! I am looking to keep my classroom an exciting environment where my students are presented with different types of meaningful learning experiences.
