I hear the train a comin’
I have forgotten how to work with 6th graders. After teaching 7th and 8th grade for several years, I forgot how you have to go slower and step by step with 6th graders. I worked with a group today using Gaggle as an editing tool. God love ‘em, they tried. But, between me not talking on their level and them not being experienced on computers, we about had a train wreck. Hopefully, the next time will be a bit better. I hope.
I did introduce Gaggle to 7, yes 7, classes yesterday. Boy, was I tired! I don’t know where in the world my head was when I did my scheduling. I wanted to be busy and I’ve accomplished that goal. Better busy than slow.
Still working on my wikis. I’ve had 4 teachers make wikis and share them. They are too cool! I’m so excited!
I could use some help on one of the wikis I’m working on. I’m trying to design a wiki where teachers can go to find uses for web 2.0 applications. Aptly named, Great Idea Wiki. I’m welcoming any ideas you can add. Maybe together we can invent the better mousetrap.
Until next time ~ Danita
