On Friday February 20, I wrote about how I wanted to experiment with a new method of teaching (new for me), that I wanted to move away from teacher-centered inquiry to a student-centered model. Today, Monday February 23, I had an opportunity to experiment with that new approach and it worked splendidly! I had a wonderful time and felt like an actual educator. I felt like I wasn't there to impart information, to "give" the students knowledge, but to provide students some of the tools or language they might need in order to discover their own knowledge.

Another fabulous day at Roberts! I absolutely love going to this school, working with the teachers and students. I am always impressed with how happy everyone seems to be, or more appropriately, how much of a sense of family they've built among themselves.

So many exciting events and conversations took place today, but I will list the ones that stood out most, or at least the first few I can name without boring my audience:

Hi! My name is Aggie Ebrahimi and I am new to the Media Ed lab, and so happy to be here! I am thrilled to be working as part of the Media Literacy for Cultural and Global Understanding project. As an Iranian American, and as a student of cultural studies and women's studies, as well as a student of film and media production, I cannot think of a more worthwhile or exciting project to be a part of. Stay tuned to my blog to find out all I learn as the semester progresses!
