Kelly, my dear...where have you been? I've missed your posts! I think what you've pointed out is so true and important. While we were at the conference I was thinking how I could tweak the projects just like you were...I also like how you said that we need to keep our students in mind. An AIG class is not going to react the same way to a lesson as an EC class would. I think it's important to recognize that our Professors know what they're talking about because they've been there. Obviously Dr. Pyne knew that we would need theory over method and that's why she is teaching this way. I love that we have such experienced Professors to guide us and to ultimately send us into the classroom as prepared teachers.
