I got all these ideas from other educators on social media. In this episode, I take time to reflect on these three projects. I talk specifically about:
- how I had students create a TikTok as their final math summative grade
- my rubric for the TikTok project
- reflections on what I would do differently with the TikTok project if I did it again
- how I introduced the Rube Goldberg project for my robotics class
- how I incorporated Minecraft in the planning process for their Rube Goldberg project
- how we utilized our Zoom class time during the week they were working on the Rube Goldberg machine
- how I structured the financial literacy project where students sold items on eBay
- how one student made over $300 when he did the eBay project
- a bonus 'virtual yearbook' project I did with my advisory students
