In this week Russ Goerend's talked about how the Des Moines was making a charter school for students that have failing grades and don't come to school a lot. I think that this is a great idea! I also think that it will work great, because the parents are going to have to put in about 40 hours a week on this. So, that will force the parents to pay more attention to their child's grades before they fail and make them go to school.
Week 8
In this week Russ talked about the love of learning, which really caught my attention. He said that we need to honestly ask our kids if they like school and that we need to truly care about their answer. Also, he said that we need to stop blaming them and look at the way we are teaching them. I love this post! It is so true about how we need to make kids loving coming to school instead of dreading another day of boring lesson plans. If we could get students involved in loving to learn and participate in things then the sky is the limit for the next generation.
Week 9
In this week Russ talked about how apple is opening up their stores to students. They are opening them up, so that students can come on a field trip and learn how to use programs. From these programs they will learn how to use iMovie, garage band, and iPhoto. Then once the students learn this they can compare one another's to see which one is the best. This is the best of both worlds for students and teachers to both learn the programs, so that they can incorporate the programs in the classroom.
