My Week

Hi Ling and Company,

I had my two classes yesterday and we viewed the video's online that have been posted and read some of the comments. We have no made any comments as of yet because our blog is on Google and I have gotten my hand slapped and am not allowed to let the students actually go to it on their own computers. I have to use it on my computer and project it. It's a bummer but turns out that Next Blog link at the top makes it unsecure. Gotta Love the District Heads. =) I'm working on a way to streamline the comment process so the kids can still comment but I don't get in trouble. Have no fear! I have some ideas!

So getting back to what we have done this week. My classes both wrote a script for their podcasts and most of them got it recorded. We are going to be editing next week. My plan is to post the Podcast Introductions soon after that. I will be typing up the transcripts for their podcasts for students who need to read the podcast while they watch them. Great suggestion Ling!

Then after that because I'm in a technology class we are going to make a class movie about 3-5 minutes or so about our Technology Class. We will discuss what we are learning, how we learn, as well as some things that we like, dislike. I may have some other students make some smaller vignettes as a separate project next week on some other Special Programs we offer. =)

Did I mentioned that my kids were so engaged yesterday when I was sharing your videos and information!?! I have to say it was an amazing day!

Hi Carrie and other partners:
Carrie, thanks for sharing your experience of working with your class.
We are look forward to listening to your podcast.

In my class, we don't have the problem about the unsesure link because my students didn't notice that :) when they are so concentrated on giving comments to your videos and thinking how they can organize their materials for presentation.
I'll mail you the textbooks tomorrow and hope you'll receive them soon.

By the way...
I design the poll about "What is your favorite subject?"
Welcome your students to vote for their favorite subject.
