Hi Ana- What a great lesson! I admire how student driven this activity is. The students really have no choice but to be engaged. You mentioned in your screencast that the forms were “65 forms”. What is that? Is that Microsoft Office 365? I like how you shared the presentation options in the Blendspace with short tutorials and directions. That is such a “genius” way of providing support to the students so they can work independently. I would like to know what strategies you used to encourage teachers to take a back seat and allow students to take command of their learning. This of level of student control may be overwhelming for diverse learners. I would suggest having some type of prompts or another way to help students pin down their interests before setting them free to work. You may also wish to have students work in groups. I like your self-reflection questions. Especially the one asking students what they will do next. It requires them to plan ahead. Also like you mentioned, the question about obstacles and asking what they need to figure out provides useful information to the teacher, but I think it also tells the students what they should do next.
