Room 167

I really enjoyed Room 167 blog. It was full of interesting ideas to use in the classroom. It also offered students a chance to become involved with diversity issues. I thought the photos and videos complemented the content well.

The idea of allowing to use note card to define characteristics of themselves then give one up until there remained only one characteristic was really eye opening. I think thei makes the students aware of who they are and allows them to communcate why.

The diversty links offer students anavenue to getinvolved in thier community. This is important as sometime students never leave their own community. This an avenue for student exploration.

The photos give the students some ownership in the blog as they can see themselves participating and becoming involved in the classroom. This is important in learning, students connecting with each other over content.
