My Students

My students are amazing! We live in an area of high poverty with over 90% of my students qualifying for free and reduced-price lunches. We are also over 60% minority and include students from over a dozen different countries.

My students have lots of opportunities to create art using traditional methods.

In my social studies classes, we have made prints, paintings, and even pen and ink drawings. So much art, design and engineering now is done by computer, and they need that opportunity too. My students love to do hands-on activities. With my background in educational technology, I can use the few resources I have in my class to transform a hands-on activity to a digital resource for my students and the students that will be in my classroom in the future. This year my students have made some amazing art in my social studies class to represent their learning. They love to explore different ways that aren't traditionally used to show learning.

My Project

My students will use the Legos to create models of historic places or events. They will then be asked to explain their decision-making process, and their reflections and explanations will be recorded and used to create a digital 'museum' both online and in the classroom. Students will hopefully learn the value of having to explain and reflect on what they have learned and created.

Legos are expensive but very engaging tools in a classroom.

My students will be able to more easily create three dimensional models as well as reflect and review what they created. My goal is to get them to see the real, transformative value in reflection.
