Communities at Oshkosh North High School is a Project Based Learning environment that revolves around the community. We learn with the community, within the community, in order to make the community a better place. Our goal is to provide hands on and relevant learning opportunities for our students so they learn the content as well as 21st century skills.

Note taking; a simple skill, but learning to do it right is the key to success. And the amount of speakers that Communities receives called for a workshop on note taking. This concept was emphasized as Mr. Leib, who taught the workshop, told of his successes. This included growth of his travel agency and the blissful grants Communities has received. Furthermore, note taking was emphasized as a needed 21st century skill. In order to see more meaning messages in the world around us. One example was the video shared today of David Binder; a speaker for TED talks. The video was used to practice taking key notes and then later discuss what we found. The results were surprising and the message of the video was clearly received .Note taking correctly helps to focus on the bigger and more meaningful message. So, what better place to teach this concept than at Communities.
