Busy with PBL

Well it has been a few days since my last blog, thanks to a problem-based learning project deadline. Wow what a lot of work that goes into putting one of those projects together. I knew it was time consuming, but never thought about all the time it took to create all of the documents that go with it. So it is complete with just a few minute details to add. So hopefully you will be able to visit the teach21 website and check it out. It is call the Mall of McDowell. Creating excitement about the need for a shopping mall in McDowell County. Getting the student's engaged is the most critical part of a teaching lesson. Hopefully someone will try to the PBL and tell me what they think. While this has been going on, I have not forgotten about my Globaloria students. They are still working hard and are currently working on the Drawing in Flash tutorial. I am trying to keep down the frustration with flash. As well all know flash can become difficult at times. So far, so good for all of my students. What I have accomplished for the first time is adding a video to viddler.com. So I am going to attach the first video I added.
