Special Assignment

Brian Crosby's Classroom

Brian Crosby is a sixth grade teacher who does his teaching a little different. He has a blog called "learning Is Messy". The post I viewed was "Back to the Future". Mr. Crosby uses lap tops in his classroom for every student. He also uses the smart board to make his class more attentive. He does a lot of hands-on projects like using fire and hot air balloons. Instead of doing boring tests his class blogs and write about what they learned. The students setup their own wiki page. They also skyped kids in other countries and commented on different blogs. They were considered active learners, they developed deeper knowledge by being hands-on. I love the way he has his class setup this will likely how I will do in  my future classroom. This concept seems to be the best way to reach the students without them getting bored.
