But if I really look at it, I realize they are discovering quite a bit, and often without my saying a word. I have to keep reminding myself that there are more ideas than we can cover in a 58 minute period anyway.

So much of our identities are tied up in "being the teacher" and "teaching our students." We just have to keep track of the fact that we are still helping our students learn and grow - it's just that we're helping them do more of that on their own. And - in the long run - I think most of us would agree that that will be much more beneficial for them.<BR/><BR/>You might consider linking to those interactive websites from your blog so that we can all take a look as well.Karl Fischhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121548023409279686noreply@blogger.com
