After reading all of the articles this week I realize we at some schools do not give the students a lot of things to take true ownership in. As we continue in our classes I realize how important it is that we are using things that the students can take with them and not have to leave behind. The students take a lot of time on some assignments or projects and why not find away to allow them to keep their things forever and show their projects or assignments off. Also sometimes I see a lot of assignments or projects with a direction you must take or a list of things that need to be included. Why not let the students take ownership in their projects and just tell them the goal that needs to be reached and let them reach it the way that makes sense to them. When things make sense to the students then the outcome will be a lot greater than them just creating something that has been made over and over again just using different words. I truly, hope that more schools get on the ban wagon and start allowing the students to create their own personal domain which would allow them to always take their own work with them and not lose it every school year, when they move, or when they graduate. The students need to have something that they can take pride in and know that they will always have these amazing accomplishments with them throughout their life that they could possibly use to help them land their dream job. The COVA approach this School takes pride in I feel is a great and amazing approach. It allows us to be us and not try to be like others that have come through this school. It strides on making sure each and every project is unique based on our interests not the interests of others.
