I have the pleasure of teaching a class called "Career Explorations" each day to a group of eighth graders. Since the start of the second nine weeks we have gone to more of a project based classroom and the students are responsible for researching and creating projects in conjunction with certain aspects of career exploration.
We have been very lucky to have access to a set of the high school Chromebooks and the students have become very familiar with Google Classroom over the last few weeks. As we begin the final four weeks of our class, the students are preparing presentations to create a career fair for grades 3-6 to learn about different career options. Our projects have allowed our eighth graders to work on presentation skills, as well as skills needed to problem solve and work together. Overall the students have been very happy with learning how to use Google Classroom and creating their assignments in a nontraditional way.
