Classrooms Full of Stars

Based on today's class session and the clips from Chris Pirlet's class at Aberdeen Central, does it seem to you that theater games would work well as a social science teaching technique? What do you see as positives and negatives about theater games? Do you think you will use theater games yourself when you teach? Why, or why not?

Blog vs. Homepage

For more than 10 years, SEED 415 students have been putting together homepages highlighting their work for this class. This semester, students are putting together blogs instead of homepages. What do you think of this change? Is a blog more useful to you than a homepage, or do you think it would have been more valuable creating a homepage? Has it been more useful to you as a student when your professors have put supplemental information on homepages or when they have used blogs?

Welcome!

Welcome to the official 2007 class blog of SEED 415, Social Science Special Methods. This blog is the place to record your reflections on the class and to exchange ideas on making social studies classes what they should be--the most interesting, most exciting, most important classes your students will take.
