Are we there yet?

Are we at the end of the class?  How is it goeing for everyone?  Are we there yet?  Can we celebrate yet?  What did you gain from this class?  I gained a wealth of knowledge and hope to apply it to my teaching career.  I was shaken by this class in the beginning.  I am glad I perservered.  Its always hard to do something that you have never been exposed to.  However, I am happy to know about more than just Power Point now.  We tend to stay in our comfort zones.  I know its strange territory to visit Zoho land or Google docs land, but I think it will be very helpful to know how to expose the students to this as well.  I also think the podcasting and elluminate applications are very helpful.  I think they are great tools to do massive training.  I look forward to using these in the future.

Final Unit Plan peer review

I think the peer review was both constructive and needed.  I do think that I may have neglected a few things if I hadn't had someone mention them to me.  I still may be missing something.  I am hoping someone will look at my draft to see if it seems okay to turn in now.  http://bodypartsbykeisha.pbworks.com/w/page/32597235/Human-Body-Unit-Plan

I think this could be helpful in the future when I teach to have some peer reviews.  I also think it would be helpful to have blogs amongst teachers.  I think it would help de-stress and take so much off of our brains.  I do think we can learn alot from each other.  "No man is an island, in and of itself"...somehow I think this is applicable to the field of education.  As a village raises a child, so do I think we can collectively enhance each others' teaching careers.  It would be interesting to me if any of us maintain contact once this class is over.  I would want to see the career progression of each person.  I wish all well in their education endeavors.

Is there anyone still blogging?

I am finding it more and more difficult to find someone to comment on with these blogs.  It seems there are maybe one or two doing this blog.  Please help me, help you.  I can respond and make comments if you add a new post.  I think we will all have learned a great deal at the end of this class.  I certainly have learned alot about blogging as it pertains to education.  I am not sure why its so challenging since this is similar to facebook.  The page is not as engaging since you don't see the picture of the person you are addressing, or see instant responses.  Yet, I do find it helpful.  I think sometimes we place priorities regarding education to a lesser degree than socializing.  I hope to chat with someone soon.  Have a blessed night and best regards on the final unit plan rough draft.  I think we will all be happy upon the completion of that final draft.

Final Unit Plan rough draft

I have not had a good week so I have not been able to come here as often as I would have liked to.  My husband had to take a military assignment, and as soon as he did, I got stranded because my car broke down.  I got sick and am still fighting the nausea, etc.  I am pushing through as best I can.

On the note of working on the final unit rough draft, it is very intense and involved.  So far I have completed only five lessons and I am not sure how much more to go.  Please take a look at my wiki space to comment.  I just need to know if I am remotely close to doing this assignment correctly.  I feel like I am missing something.  I had a hard time changing my front page from the webquest page to the final unit plan.  Trying to create all of the folders and put the different lessons in the appropriate folders was quite the task.  I made a folder for the student template and a folder for the teacher template. Hopefully, it is being synthesized correctly.  I have a bit of anxiety about this because it seems its a great deal of our grade.  I need to still put my references somewhere and also figure out how to incorporate the 3-d ILA of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes".  I couldn't figure out how to insert it into this wiki.  Anyone know how to do it.  I finally go the power point presentation via slideshare, inserted, but whew...I have a headache.
