final reflection video

special assignment

I was thinking about the metaphor assignment.I did not come up with a conclusion why many of us did not get that metaphor.I thought about Randy Pausch's last lecture.`I know we understood his metaphor.The only conclusion I could come up with is that we need to read things very carefully.

I did not have a PLN before this class.I have a blog and my class blog.I never new before this class that gmail and documents would be part of my PLN.YouTube is part of my learning network.AVI is the video recording software I have on my PC.I have used Twitter some.I plan to get more proficient on Twitter.

The teacher I was assigned is the author of classroom chronicles.She is a year 5 teacher at a girls school in Sydney, Australia.The first was about hacking the system.She went to a seminar on professional development.She got pointers on how to use time better.I commented on how it is hard to believe that we will have less time as teachers.The second post was about spaces.She changed her classroom so her students could learn differently.The classroom was set up for group work , individual work,and then last with desks for the traditional learning environment.I commented that I thought this was good for learning especially with this age group.

last project with Lisa Taylor and Ashley Franklin

ALEX stands for Alabama Learning Exchange.I was amazed at how much information is on this site.The reason for this site is help teachers with anything from lesson plans to podcasts.The other thing I liked was that you can find your subject and any grade level ad it tells the objectives that should be met.I hope any teachers that are not using this site will.I know now I definitely will when I start teaching.I also think that this would be a good tool for parents.

progress report

I have not decided yet on my final project yet.I am going to work on it this week.
