20% project - a great learning experience

Our last day of class was spent viewing other students projects.  I watched the various projects with my typical "What can I use" eye, and found that everyone offered me something.  As I reflect back on the experience a few days later, I am glad to say that I could take something from everyone, so Thank you.

In some cases, I took away new Apps or ideas for projects.  In others, I became aware of potential problems and how to avoid them.

My new concern though, is that unlike me, most of my students don't seem to want to learn form a mistake, but would rather blame someone else for a short coming.

I believe that Thomas Edison mentioned that in discovering the lightbulb, he didn't make 1,000 errors, but that he learned a 1,000 ways not to make it, or something to that effect.

With that in mind I give you the link to my 20% project and the 1,000 think I learned from it - No I won't list them all here, just leave you the video to discover them for yourself.

Oh Yeah, tomorrow my students will shoe their video projects, so I will try to post one or two of them.

Thanks for the time we spent together.
