Our video broadcasting teacher introduced a new project that his class would be working in the next couple of months and asked the rest of the teachers how they could see their classes getting involved. I'm very excited about the project and I hope that it will bring the entire school together to work on a common project. His class is planning to film a World War II Reenactment in Peachtree City. He wants the English classes to write some scripts. He needs the construction classes to help build sets. He needs the history class to research and report information to the others to make sure that everything is representative of that time period. He will need graphic arts to create posters and flyers to publicize the event. The list can go on and on
I think this project will unite the classes and allow the students to see how academics can work along side the technical classes. I'll keep you guys posted as the project progresses.

FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).
This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!
Blog Post - Week 7
This past week in my own teaching I felt a little disconnected which prompts my question to you, "What was the moment (or moments) when I felt most disconnected or disengaged as a teacher - the moment(s) I said to myself, I'm just going through the motions here?"

Natalie please do keep us posted. This idea sounds great. I would love to see the finished product!
How wonderful. This teachers sounds like an innovator, energetic, creative genius. There have been so many postings to the blog about how to promote CTE. Bringing all the programs together for a production like this presents a compelling way to bring attention and stature to your programs. Collaboration is a powerful thing. Please keep us posted.
What a great way to bring unity among students that come from all around your county. And how much fun for all of you. I just can't wait to hear all the positive things that are going to come from this adventure.
It sounds like a wonderful idea, so long as a teacher in the midst of NTI (namely you) does not have to coordinate such a wide-ranging project.
