Teachers Teaching Teachers #125 - What if you ask the students what they think? 10.15.08


59:02 minutes (13.5 MB)

Three amazing young women joined us on this episode of Teachers Teaching Teachers:

  • Farisa, 10th Grader at East-West School of International Studies, Flushing, NY, NY
  • Hannah, 11th Grader at Science Leadership Academy, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
  • Lindsea, 12th Grader at Punahou School, Honolulu, Hawaii

Paul Allison, Alice Barr, and Gail Desler stayed out of the way as much as possible. We asked the students to help us keep on track with the mission of Youth Voices: to be "a space where teachers nurture student-to-student conversations, collaborations, and civic actions." We seek to sustain student-sponsored work on our new site.

Think.com

My students (seventh-graders) and I (an English teacher) are using Think.com this year.

This online tool gives each of my students a personal web-space where they can post assignments, collaborate on projects, and communicate through email. It also allows me to increase the frequency and depth of feedback, both from peers and from the teacher (myself).
