Until the arrival of Google Classroom, I use this blog to disseminate project information and documents to the gifted middle-school students under my tutelage.
Most of my projects relate directly or obliquely to sustainability, with a student-centered approach to multidisciplinary learning. My intention is to provide a project/ problem-based learning experience that is relevant to my students' lives now and in the future. I hope you find something useful for your own purposes! Going forward, I plan to use this blog to more consciously share my work and thoughts with the world outside my classroom.
Sincerely,
Samuel Sullivan
