I'm sure your cooperating teacher is/ will be excited to hear about your plans for next year already. This TechQuest sounds very valuable for students, and something that will be of high interest to them. When you mentioned that you would like to have students research different regions of the state and weren't sure how, you could select different counties from all over the state to have students research. Good luck with your TechQuest! Anna Leyna,

I hope that changes in the upper grades, otherwise the fact that these students aren't familiar with today's tech could hurt them in the future. It must be hard with no tech in the school.

I like that you will be providing guidance on everything that they are being expected to produce, especially since they probably have little to no experience with any of it. Coming from a school with a low ses myself, I know that a vast amount of time is spent on teaching the technology and then worrying about the content. It will be very interesting to see your students' capabilities. They might surprise you! Leyna,

I admire that you're already looking to the future and planning for your experience in the third grade classroom. I connected with your TechQuest because you touched on the fact that 3rd grade will now be learning Michigan History. This is a change that will also be affecting me as a 3rd grade teacher. I look forward to hearing about your discoveries! Leyna, this TechQuest sounds incredibly valuable.
