What a dynamic teacher Diane Laufenberg is!! I got many ideas from her talk:
1) We do a family history project in our immigration unit. I like the visual timeline that she did at the begining of her talk and she included them again at the end of her talk. This would be an amazing thing to include in a family history project for student. Instead of my students doing a traditional paper, they can get family photos and present their family history in their words (voice.)
2) I also appreciated the learning process that she demonstrated that her students and her talk out loud about their presentations. My students did video projects and that activitiy would have been very beneficial to use in my classroom.
3) She makes an excellent point that we need to rethink how we teach our students because the focus isn't getting them the information but it is how to get them to interact, learn, and process the information on a higher level.
