Comments on: What happens in school during a Blizzard? http://ideasandthoughts.org/2007/01/10/what-happens-in-school-during-a-blizzard/ I'm here to learn, join me Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:08:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Julie Schumacher http://ideasandthoughts.org/2007/01/10/what-happens-in-school-during-a-blizzard/comment-page-1/#comment-16112 Julie Schumacher Sat, 03 Feb 2007 16:17:22 +0000 http://ideasandthoughts.org/2007/01/10/what-happens-in-school-during-a-blizzard/#comment-16112 Being flexible and creative, you took advantage of this great opportunity to allow the students to be emerged in a new type of learning environment. In many schools, snowy weather like this would mean a movie-afternoon or games in the classroom; however, what a better way to collaborate with peers than this project you discussed. It is true, why does it have to take snow days for students to work collaboratively learning about real-world issues? I believe more of this should be integrated into curriculum. There is potential in these types of learning environment for students to use their creativity while really learning about what’s important in the world around them.

Here in Florida about all we get is hurricane days, along with a couple days off after the fact for repairs and stuff. But I love how you've applied your assignment to a real world issue.
