Can the End be the Beginning?


Wow, here we are. . .well, wherever we go, there we are (for all my Buckaroo Banzai fans). Anyway, today is the last day of class for your hectic summer technology immersion. . .I like to look at this as not the end, but the beginning of you as technology using educators who aren't afraid to take chances and always look for fun and interesting ways to integrate technology into your curriculum.

Tonight: I will answer any final assignment questions and I want to spend a good amount of time discussing/reviewing TaskStream narratives. I expect that you will leave class tonight with the narratives finished and the sweat permanently wiped off your brow ;-)

You can ensure your blog is completely dialed out. . .you have at least 10 artifacts added, each artifact has an appropriate title, the NETS that it meets, and contains a description of what the assignment was. . .Tonight would be a great time to get any last minute help on your blogs.

I have almost every assignment graded (the regrades will happen later this week), so everyone should pretty much know where she stands as far as what grade to expect from the course. My grades are due Aug 20, but I expect to get them in way before that, so you can check back on WebCt and you will see your grade. . .I will email everyone through webCT when I have completed all grading and revision. . .do NOT panic about your grade until you receive said email. . . .

Final Question: Did you have fun in this class. . .explain.

  2. Yes! I learned a lot, and realized I knew a lot more than I thought I did. I was inspired to venture out and explore the internet, and what kinds of tools are out there. I also thought class was entertaining and dug the music. : )

  8. Yes, I had a great, fun time in this class. I especially enjoyed sharing my technical knowledge with the rest of the class-I got a real sense of fulfillment helping all the other students around me. I just hope I didn't come off as a know-it-all.

  11. I really enjoyed this class, which was unexpected (I wasn't happy about summer school). I learned a lot of things that will be useful in the classroom, but also things that have made my personal computer use easier and more productive/efficient/interesting.

  14. Yep...I LOVED this class! I was a little intimidated at first, since I hadn't worked on a Mac in years and had never heard of most of what we'd be doing in this class. However, everyone was really helpful, and I had tons of fun with my buddies Britt and Tess. You also made class fun--why can't you teach ALL my classes. =)

  19. I did have fun in this class learning so many things that I had no idea were available for me to use. I almost waited to take this class in the fall, but glad I didn't.

  23. Yep, I had fun in this class. I felt a bit time crunched at times, but overall the quality of this class was awesome...cool classmates too. Besides, what I've learned and accomplished, I give myself a pat on the back for them because I would have never thought I could not do that while having fun :)

    P.S. Thanks for the entertaining puns.
