We began Part II of our class tonight as we are now focusing on the final papers for the class. We assigned partners or threesomes for working together on these papers: Carmen and Sara, Amanda and Molly, Laurel and Rebecca, Ashley and Tammy, Kaye and Bridget and Julie, Teresa and Cenet and Ni. And Jon will be seeking help from peers as needed. This next week the groups will provide feedback to each other for their emerging outlines (due Nov. 10).
Laurel reviewed a program called Flexbooks which provided a good transition for our evening's work with wikis.
We are all hoping Evrim is feeling better soon and we definitely missed her tonight. The only good thing about having Evrim gone is that it forced me to be a bit better prepared to use the technology, and I think this is a good thing for me. And thanks to Carmen for taking the pictures tonight!
We ended our evening together by viewing Sara's digital story, a beautifully prepared story of becoming a big sister told through the voice of Sara's three year old. The point of view, scripting and images in the story were outstanding.
Next week, Evrim will be working with social networking and I will get to listen to the podcast from Bahrain.!
I loved Sara's digital story. I am sure that her daughter felt very special to be included. I am glad that the pictures turned out okay. -Carmen
