Through viewing the edu180atl project, we wanted to share some of our stories with Parkland School Division for the 2011-2012 school year. This project is hoping to share the voices of the Parkland School Division and how we are all learners together in this journey as we move forward.
As modeled from the edu180atl project, we would like submissions to be 250 words or less, and answer to the prompt, “what did you learn today?”. Participants will write a short bio about what they do in Parkland to accompany the post which will answer the following:
- Who they are? (First name only)
- What they do? (grade 1 student, Superintendent, etc.)
- What they love?
This is a great concept for a website and makes learning real and authentic. I found this through a Twitter feed and would like to dupe it in my school district.
Thank you to all the contributors. I subscribed to your blog:)
Thanks Di! We adapted the idea from Atlanta and some innovative educators and I know that they have dome some awesome stuff with it as well. If you do a version of it, you should definitely contact Megan Howard and let her know as she is collecting schools that are creating a similar project. It would be great to see what kids are learning around the world! (She is @mmhoward on Twitter)
Think this is a great idea and one I need to try to get going in our Middle School. Hope to have some students comment on Katie’s post soon as well. Thanks for the tweet on comment4kids.
I LOVE this idea. Watch out NBCS, it’s coming our way!
[...] The 184 Days of Learning Project is a great project that focuses on Learning – inside AND outside of the school building because, as George pointed out, learning just doesn’t happen inside the schoolhouse, in fact, most learning happens outside of the school-house walls. [...]
I’ve just come across this and edu180atl today while looking into how my institution might best leverage social media to benefit students, faculty, and staff as a whole. I haven’t been able to pull myself away from your site yet. The stories are engaging and full of life. Keep up the good work – I intend to keep following this outside of work now.
