Last week, my colleague, Javier Hernandez, presented a PD on virtual museums using Apple's Keynote. I thought this would be a great idea for our 5th graders who are currently studying the different cultures of the world.

Students weren't just completing assignments; they were driving their own learning journey. The variety of projects was staggering: Two students used Blender to design and mint NFTs, actually selling one on a marketplace.
