PLN 1-S2
Today I read a post in the Thinking Stick about how students are talking about projects outside of the classroom. This post talks about how teenagers are taking the conversation and thinking beyond the walls of the classroom. I think that it is important to have such creative and innovative projects that it causes the students to get involved and want to learn more and discuss it with others. If the students are interested in the things that are going on in the classroom they can spread there ideas and involve others. This relates to me because I have seen students that have homework and projects that they are excited to work on and want to tell their friends about it. Learning should be fun and it should be an exciting experience. This post was important because it takes things that happen in the classroom and opens more doors.

I think what is really important is that the students are doing this on their own. It was not required that they start a web site, or that the send the e-mail to teachers. They want to be known, they understand the authenticity of an audience on the Internet.
Learning should be fun, but it should also be relevant to the learning that is happening in the classroom. Making learning fun is not a problem (you learn while you play video games). It's learning that is fun and relevant to the standards and benchmarks you have to cover that makes good teacher great.
