We began our evening with a song from YouTube entitled "Teachers Must Become Learners" (or something similar!) and then moved into a variety of activities. Our reading discussion groups started a little slow (at least mine did), but students warmed up as the discussion progressed. We used Woordle to summarize the discussions and ended up with some interesting featured words to explain. Rebecca began our resource reviews with a very complete and well-organized presentation on her use of blogging in her teaching. I am always pleased when the first resource review is strong as it creates a good model for others in the class. Thanks, Rebecca! Although we did not see Rebecca's examples, they will be available for viewing this week and Evrim and I will use them in class next week. Our Logo time was slightly rushed, but students seemed to connect with the powerful ideas of procedure and super-procedures. Evrim has posted the Logo resources on Facebook for students who want to do their assignments at home. Students using the free resources will need to copy their procedures and super-procedure into a word file and either copy their project graphic or sketch it. The projects (procedures and graphic) will be turned in as hard copy next week. All in all, I think we are off to a good start and I look forward to feedback from students.
