Rick

I am Rick Andrews the grade 5/6 teacher at Boort P.S.My project is about Crafty Designs a science based unit of work that is in relation to the Ekids rural pilot project.
After today, the first day, What has been the most interesting idea? The resource tools,and their scope within a project and unit of work.

What has been the most challenging thing you have thought about? Adding rigour and critical analysis within my project.

How do you feel? Excited about how my kids will respond to my unit of work.

Anything else? No that's about it.

Good to hear that you are thinking about how to raise the bar Rick. I'm keen to hear more about the ekids and the unit you are planning. This link might help with a bit of the rigour that you are looking to inject into your unit plan. [] - Anne

Day 2 A challenging day confronting my questioning abilities, and my fumbling through setting up the visual ranking project and teams (particularly in the Teacher WorkSpace). Will have to work hard on creating more unit/essential questions tomorrow. Have found a real purpose for using visual ranking tool and seeing reason tool!! Rick signing off at 3.35pm

My understanding of the tools and uses have improved and I feel confident embedding them into my units of work. Found it again difficult to ask the right questions but i would assume that it will improve as i spend more time using them. Cheers Rick It's getting there Rick but I think you need to spend a bit of time tomorrow pulling the teaching and learning activities together to get a narrative or outline of what you are going to do and what the students are going to do. I can see that you have a number of good activities, but it needs pulling all together in some way. I think you said you are going to spend some time working tonight so I might see some more changes tomorrow. Anne
