Amazingly, I've already gotten some great ideas for next year. One idea shifts a process I have been using, creating pencasts with a LiveScribe pen for students to watch at home if they were struggling with math homework. After watching an Alan November video for the class, I've seen a way I can shift this and have the students create their own tutorials in class. The other idea involves Google Maps, which I have used countless times, and yet never seen or heard about the "My Maps" function where you can create a map with place markers and narratives, link to websites, or add pictures... Suddenly I'm thinking of how my students can create maps as we study States and Regions this year in Social Studies.
Needless-to-say, I'm getting excited about the learning ahead, and about making connections and learning from my classmates.
Patti - thank you for being honest and open. I feel the same way. Although I have felt submerged in technology over the past year, I already feel lost. I'm doing a lot of lurking :) I'm glad to be taking the course with you! I am anxious to learn from each other!
