Grease Lightening

Lightening speed is how I feel when I reflect back on the semester. Jam packed and sometimes overwhelming are other things on my mind. I value the amount of information provided and disiminated throughout the semester. Planning my curriculum this summer for next year I am going to incorporate a few of the tools we learned this past year such as a class wiki and maybe blog posts. I feel pretty comfortable with those tools. I know that with the available resources I plan to revisit quite a few of them so I can absorb the information more. I enjoyed working in groups on the wiki, the flexibility allowed is so terrific in this day and age when we are all so busy. I am thinking about a Wiki group research project over the course of five weeks, asking for certain portions to be done on specific dates to the students don’t wait until the last minute (hmmm wonder who does that?) to complete their assignments. I really liked creating the pod cast, it was a great project even if I sounded like a robot.. It wasn’t bad for a first try. I think the my students would really like that. I enjoyed learning about so many things but to stick with a few —Wiki and Podcasts were among my favorites. I am really happy to have the links to so many available resources. Trying to keep them in folders that I relate them to will be another “fun” task. At least it’s not more paper to file in a cabinet somewhere. This has been a good class, although I feel it should be broken down into more than one class. I know I was overwhelmed at times, I wonder about my classmates?
