trying to really create more <a href="http://shsweb.blogspot.com/2009/04/monday-welcome-back.html">open-ended assignments.</a>  I'm also seeing if I can get rolling deadlines to work where a student works until they are done.  I sometimes think I need more unifying structures (like contests, exams, etc...) but I also think they can sometimes stifle creativity.<div><br /></div><div>Lots to struggle with.  Since these courses are cancelled for next year it is hard to keep the process fresh.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

blogging challenge is to <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2009/04/07/write-a-list-post/">write a list post</a>.  I thought I would write about why some of my students are having a challenging week with <a href="http://shsweb.blogspot.com/2009/04/flash.html">my assignment</a>.<div><ul><li>Students are challenged when there are no directions.</li><li>I don't have the answers to all of their questions.</li><li>They have to rely on their classmates for help.</li><li>They might not get it right.</li></ul><div>This creates some anxiety.  But if they do figure out the puzzles they have a greater sense of accomplishment.  How to get that balance between challenging students and frustrating them?</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'
