So far the class is going fast. No major problems, only things so far is actually setting up a time to skype with the classmate. Our schedules don't seem to be working out, but I'm sure we will be getting it done today. We have been using the message feature in Skype to try to set things up.
I have a decent start on my Curriculum project. Need to do the Tracks and e-sheets, but they really shouldn't take me too long. Started to look at the twitter assignments. So far I'm not a fan of twitter. I don't really care what people are doing all the time, and any of my friends don't really care what I'm doing. My life isn't all that exciting.
I actually do use blogging in my classroom setting already. I just don't use Blogger. I use a set of tools with gaggle.net and have the students create a blog that they write what they learned for the week out of the lectures. It does a couple of things. First if they are doing it right, I gain a great understanding of where they are as far as the material covered. Second, it gives them a chance to work on their writing skills and improve in that area. Last it it worked okay, I really need to do a better job of modeling what I want them to display.
