This course has really kept me on my toes with the many daily assignments. I understand the reason for the amount of workload assigned. It is just perfect timing for my WiFi at home to be acting up, especially since the UOG Moodle cannot be accessed through my cell phone internet. I have finally designed a routine so that my work is done on a timely manner.
Being introduced to the IRA newsletter and assigned projects relating to literacy sites gives me a better perspective on what I am able to share with my students. Even a site is created as a game, doesn't mean there cannot be any educational value to it. Whether its a game I have students play in the classroom, or an online interactive game, my students can still learn from them. Just like the classroom, the students are so diverse that the teacher must find a way to carry out the lesson so that "No Child Is Left Behind". Implement as many techniques to teach about Forces, the students will learn from the repetition of teaching the same lesson.

I agree. My students love playing the online games. Luckily there are a ton online especially for World Geography (a course I've taught for the past four years).
ReplyDeleteI have that same "on my toes" feeling as you regarding all the requirements for this course. Between going back and forth between Moodle and this class blog in order to post or comment on posts, my brain is on overdrive. The requirements are not difficult or at all stressful . . . it just gets a little bit crazy for me to stay on top of them. I don't mind sitting in at my computer at all, or learning about all the great sites everyone is sharing. It helps to narrow our personal search for what is out there in the World Wide Web. Now, I just have to figure out how to organize all this new information I am learning. Happy searching, posting, and blogging!
