My husband and I always share tasks and household chores. Over the years, we’ve honed the “who does what” and the balance in our relationship. Luckily, one of his responsibilities is managing our investments, including our stocks and bonds. He has a much better mind for this than I do. Early this morning, we were talking about the current dive (downward trend) of the stock market. I listened, tried to understand it all, and offer some sort of moral support.
Later, I sat down to write this blog post and stared at the blank, white screen. Writer’s block smacked me – hard. Then, a wonderful AdvancePath friend sent me the link to a video on the stock market project going on at the La Entrada AdvancePath Academy. In less than one minute and 15 seconds, this academy not only made the downturn in the stock market seem okay, they also removed the writer’s block instantly.
Please take a minute to watch. Pay close attention to the expressions on the students’ faces, the different groups working on different parts of the project, the direct instruction, the online instruction and tools, the student drawings illustrating the snippets. What a wonderful example of blended learning!
To La Entrada, and all of the AdvancePath Academies, thanks for being a spark of inspiration every time I see your Facebook posts or YouTube videos. I’m so proud, blessed, and “bullish” to be a part of the AdvancePath team of educators and learners.
