For 8/15 - I can honestly say that as I was preparing my action research, I thought of how useful a personal learning network this would be if we could implement within all ASDOE to try and help each other in facilitating learning to our students! #edcs640h
For 8/14 - I agree with Ken Robinson's presentation. Concepts that I found striking - students labeled as academic vs. non-academic (I dislike the labels); the Arts as an aesthetic experience (should be a daily experience in school) and amazing correlating drawings! #edcs640h
It has been a PLEASURE witnessing everyone's growth. I PANICked when I realized that there is still so much to do and wish there was more time. It is my PRAYER that we will continue this path with our students beginning this school year. #edcs640h
I am at AWE to have witnessed a variety of Web 2.0 tools that can be used in class. AWW - Josie and I didnβt get to share our flocabulary vid. It was awesome!! AHH We can breathe now Bravehearts! Well at least today then 2 more projects to go! #edcs640h
Oooober excited to try out all of these apps, and it finally dawned on me that all this time these tools were out there but didn't pay attention to them. Thank you for sharing and awesome job to today's groups - if only we had more time to explore more in depth!! #edcs640h
Amazing presentations today - very exciting material! Loved playing quizlet - GO CHEETAHS yay! Also, crashed my airplane today but was alive again to land it safely a second time :-D Great job and can't wait to learn some more tomorrow!!! #edcs640h
Sooo excited to finally have a website of my own. Never thought I would have a Twitter account, but I do now. Love exploring the different web 2.0 tools, but at the same time wish there was a one-solve-it-all kind of tool for EVERYTHING!! Still more room to grow :-) #edcs640h
HIGHLIGHT of the week are the two Asynchronous meeting days - good food and great company :-D. I am HURT because there is not enough time to do everything that needs to be done - ahhhh! And I HOPE to complete my 25 hour challenge!!! #edcs640h
BRAVEHEARTS met and finalized a presentation on using a Web 2.0 tool to teach DIVIDING FRACTIONS for LEVEL 7 students. We are still exploring other apps and recording pros and cons to finalize which app to use. #edcs640h
Thought it was MIND-BOGGLING to be in class even though I was physically elsewhere. Was blown away by the CREATIVITY amongst my peers. Am deeply GRATEFUL when I received a gift from my colleagues. EAGER to continue learning and growing even though the STRUGGLE is real! #edcs640h
DELIGHTED to create and post my first tweet :-) Trying to get Matagi a twitter account was DISASTROUS but we pulled through YAYY! And I DREAM of developing the skills to make learning and assessment fun through technology! #edcs640h
