I really enjoyed wathcing
I really enjoyed wathcing students learn on their own. It is exciting to see them come up with their own inventions and idea! This has helped me to come to come up with my own inventions for second graders! Thanks a bunch!

Hello, Carlos,
While we don't have a copy of the Team Operating Agreement available, I thought it might be of interest to you that we do have some other PDF downloads related to the project.
You could try contacting Aviation High School directly to see if they'd have a copy of the Team Operating Agreement; teacher Scott McComb's email is available on the school's Web site.
Good luck with your projects!

About Team Operating Agreement
Hi, great! Great! It's really a great work. I do believe that PjBL is a key method to work with as well... Thanks, from Canary Islands, SPAIN.
By the way, could you send me a copy of your Team Operating Agreement? It looks very interesting.
My email: cmorsoc@gmail.com
Thanks!!
Carlos

Technical difficulty
I'm trying to show the videos, and all I get is audio. I've used these videos numerous times in the past, and had no difficulty. Help. I'd like to use with a group of students on Friday. Thanks. lj
