Ok so I read the article and I think that TEAMS is a wonderful idea. It will take sometime to put together units with other teachers but I also think that it is worth it. One problem I did see is lining up all the curriculum in the different areas all year. I may no be able to go through all of my core curriculum in Social Studies if I am trying to relate my units to other disciplines. I think that TEAMS is great but should not be used all year, but integrated throughout the year.
As for the lessons that we were to review that used the teams method, some where effective others didn't have enough material to explain the topic integrations. The lesson on classification confused me a lot. But ones like the Micro biology or healthy lifestyles gave me enough information to understand the topic and how it would be integrated.
I believe that the TEAMS method would be very effective if the teachers take time to put together the unit properly.

Hey Kate, sorry I forgot to let you know earlier what we did the rest of class. Next week we are going to be doing a photo project in class. You need to think of a teaching objective you want to achieve. Then bring in 15-20 digital photos and a song(either a cd or an mp3) that goes along with what you are teaching. Also you need to post a video on your blog. It doesn't matter what it is, it's just so you know how to post video. There is also an article that we need to post on. If you have any questions then just ask.
