What have you learned so far that you can apply in your instructional practice?
I have learned that I might need to rethink some of the blogging assessments that I have already thought about. I have been thinking about my third graders that I had last year and how much they could do, starting out with new third graders they might not have the skills to accomplish as much.
What goals are you still working toward?
I have been asked by a staff member to help them set up their classroom wiki and to help director her and her students into blogging world. Now I need to understand how to teach her as well as her students. I am now setting up some sample blogs to help out with that.
Based on the NETS-T, what new learning goals will you set for yourself?
New learning will be to see if I can set up social networking in my classroom. I have been very busy this week so I have not been able to research this as much as possible. I have been interviewing and setting up a classroom.
What learning approaches will you try next time to improve your learning?
I am going to try teaching the staff during staff development to work with wikis and to help set up social networking within the staff.

Amy,
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful that other teachers have asked for your help! By bringing coworkers into using 21st century learning in their classrooms, you should see a huge change in your students' excitement for learning.
One suggestion I have (based on pervious experience with helping other teachers) is to type up a word document of basic instructions and possibly a "troubleshooting" section. Give this document to every teacher or post it on your webpage/blog/wiki so that you will not have to answer the same questions every day. You will find that many teachers have the same questions or problems and this will help save time!
Good luck,
Jennifer
