I came across this as part of
I came across this as part of a graduate school course on Integrating Technology into the Classroom. I am working on a unit on the Wetlands in southern NJ. I love Mr. Guillot's ideas, his on-going assessment, and the enthusiam of his students towards their environment! I hope my students can grow in similiar ways.
Best way to explain & give
Best way to explain & give understandable logic with some practical example for a particular topic .Through this type of learning style,students can easily understand & have a great interest & concentrate on their studies without any mental burden.charleston web designer
WOW! How can I do this?
As a teacher in Louisiana, I want to be as great a teacher as you. I use lots of hands on engaging lessons but nothing compares to what you do. I want to get my students to learn about and play an active role in wetland conservation but I don't know who to call, etc. to get started. You are a hero! You are making a real difference in these students lives (and making a huge difference for our environment). If enough teachers worked with enough students, imagine how easy it would be to rebuild our wetlands.
community of learner
What a thrill! A great example of community learning, from the students to their teacher to the fabulous resources invited into the classroom! I cried, seeing a well documented model of learning.
I teach because I love learning, the process of sharing information is teaching but to share the love of discovery is pure joy!
I'm a teacher always looking
I'm a teacher always looking for ideas. Just by surfing the net, I ran across this video. Mr. Guillot is definitely a master teacher in all respects. It would be "utopia" if ALL children had a Mr. Guillot as a teacher! Studying real life situations shows that the world is our best classroom!

Excellent article and video
Was researching for an article on Project-Based Learning for an education class, and happened upon this story.
Kudos to Mr. Guillot for getting his kids into the "real classroom of life" with Coastal Roots.
