A second video I viewed was from the Technology Integration Matrix site. The clip "Poetry Exploration" was found within the 9-12 Infusion section. In it, students worked in collaboration on a poetry lesson that would be taught to the rest of the class. They did research to choose a poem and learn about the author. Then, by using a technology site such as imovie, students put their analysis/interpretation with images and author information together. One group even corresponded with the author they chose, allowing her to provide feedback on their lesson. This lesson gets a 5 out of 5 because it was collaborative, creative, engaging, and required communication and critical thinking. I have done something similar in my classroom, wherein students used Animoto and the SOAPSTone reading strategy.

The final example of 21st century teaching I explored was also on the TIM site, and it was titled "Communicating With Mentors," under 9-12 examples. In what seemed like a science class, student groups were conducting research for a project in which they were asked to find a mentor in the related field. They were given email addresses and deciding which group member was going to contact the mentor for possible contribution to or for feedback on the projects. This project clearly allowed for collaboration, critical thinking, communication, and utilized technology, but in terms of creativity, I don't know where I saw that. Obviously, with just a glimpse into the lesson, we never have all of the information, but I would give this lesson a 4 based on that. This definitely seems like an ambitious project, for both teacher and students, but one day I hope to get there!
