Yesterday and today my students did lots of career exploration online. Through the use of sites like www.collegebound.com and www.princetonreview.com, they were able to take a career interest assement and research careers of interest to them.
Interests varied everywhere from vetrinarian, hospital administrator, and public interest lawyer to architect, photographer, and pastry chef. I enjoyed helping out with the exploration process, particularly the lively discussions about social work, the best schools for media arts and gaming design, and the process of securing adequate financial aid.
It was a busy first week, even with only 3 days and missing our flash drives. But these guys really put in work, and for that they're rewarded with Free Surf, a time to surf the net for extracurricular purposes.
Next week, I'll be with the groups going on the Environmental Science Field Trip where we'll capture images for our multimedia project.
It's been a great first week, and I'm excited for the weeks to come.
Oh, check out this video clip that surfaced last period during Free Surf.
