Spring is the perfect time of year for citizen science! It's warming up outside, students are getting antsy and exhausted, testing is underway, and breaks are badly needed.
On top of that, things start to get active in the world of wildlife, especially in temperate regions like Minnesota. Animals emerge from hibernation, migrating species begin their long journeys to their summer sanctuaries, and it's breeding season for many organisms.  Happy National Nutrition Awareness Month, friends! Well, very shortly (March).
It’s always a fantastic time to have your students work on a meaningful and impactful health project, but National Nutrition Awareness Month is a great excuse to take that plunge. 10 Inspiring Women's History Project Based Learning Ideas to Celebrate Women's History Month2/17/2026 
So you’re looking for activities for Women’s History Month, but wonder how to make them experiential? Women’s history project based learning is the way to go!
There are so many history project-based learning activities for Women’s History Month, and I will offer some of those ideas right here in this blog post.  About ten years ago I picked up a book called "Half the Sky". Within the first chapter I read this quote: "More than 100 million women are missing..." at any given time. This is because of trafficking, gendercide, domestic violence, etc. This quote, and this book, really struck me. I mentioned it, and the PBS documentary that goes along with it, to a few of my high school students.
They were interested, largely because many of the issues resonated with them personally. These students led project-based learning experiences on some of the issues and shared their final products with the school community.  When I hear Black History Month project, I immediately think of opportunities to create meaningful, student-led experiences that celebrate Black history, achievements, culture, and contributions. That is the gist of this blog post - Black History Month Project Based Learning ideas. But what about the rest of the year?
 How can students use AI in the classroom effectively, responsibly, and ethically? We’ve found ourselves as teachers and parents, again, at a technological crossroads. AI is here, and it’s coming on strong.
You can ask yourself, as we always do when new tech starts making waves, whether you’re going to be that school, teacher, or parent who embraces the application of AI in education or tries to fight it. I encourage you, especially as innovative high school educators, to do the latter. Let’s talk about why.  Teaching content alone is no longer enough. This post explores why educators must intentionally teach critical thinking in the era of AI and vast information, and offers practical, experiential strategies to help students question, evaluate, and think critically for themselves.
Need some fun, festive, and experiential holiday activities for teens this season? Yes, this time of year can be a little hectic, but it is also one of my favorite times of year in my high school classroom at home with my own kids.
 How nice does it sound to forget rigid curriculum maps and endless busywork? Project-based learning (PBL) offers homeschool families a powerful, flexible, and deeply meaningful way to approach education, and you don’t have to be a certified teacher or expert planner to make it work.
