getting ready for week four…

Last week was really productive for my groups.  They created their blogs and began exploring them.  As expected, everybody wanted to change their themes to have a different look.  We went through the steps to do this and they loved it. 

I wanted them to make their first posts to have an idea of how to do it.  These guys learn really quick, and I imagine that they will eventually be telling me how to do certain things!

To see my groups, go to my static page here to the right.  There are links to all their blogs.

 I also put Renato´s groups up on his page.  I was really pleased when he told me his group insisted on doing it in pairs.  Of course he agreed and they are working in pairs (with one triad).  I am glad to see students responding to the project and giving feedback.

I am planning an activity for my students this week where they will be writing about someone that they would like to meet.  First they will explore www.43people.com and find a person that they would like to meet.  They will then post at 43 places and send it automatically to their blogs. 

I have done this on my own blog with the post about Irvine Welsh.

Keep an eye for my activity at the Alumni Wikispace under Blog Project.
