Podcast Script #3

Hey guys! I finished the last part of the Podcast I timed it at about 1:40 so the length is good but read through and let me know what you think. I am not sure if I did it correctly but reading the guidelines I believe I am on the right track. I was not sure how to wrap it all up, since I am the last one to talk for the Podcast. If you guys have any suggestions or if I should change the paragraph order please let me know! I like feedback :) and both of your guys' was really good and they totally flow! Thanks

As the student projects unfold and near towards the finish both teachers and parents should be monitoring the student’s work. Staying focused and on track is something we can assist in with “Questions of Checking in.” Day to day we will observe the progression of the students as they develop to the end. We must allow there to be questions that are being fulfilled to promote a student’s work to be established to the fullest. Making sure that with in each group there is procedural aspects, teamwork within the group, a full understanding of the project as a whole, and importantly a self-assessment is what can ensue students to produce a successful long project to the best of their ability!

While monitoring and noting that students are on track it is also an important quality that we will need to personally assist. As teachers, in the classroom we make sure we prepare students and solve any problems with technology or troubleshooting advances. As a whole we want to create a “community of learners” so that we can build from there and eliminate confusion so students can continue to stay on track.

When students start finalizing this project with Dreams We have Shared, this is when teachers should acknowledge that the students have a total understanding, which can be observed by parents as well. At this point students will be working beyond the classroom and may have limited access to particular places or opportunities. For example, Kalamazoo Public Library solves that problem offering an immense amount of information covering the history of our cities newspaper, colleges, and Kalamazoo’s symphony orchestra. Along with going to the library, students can also access kpl.org which is their website with endless amount of information for not only dreams we have shared, but insightful links relating to places we have built and things we have created!
