Updates!?

October 16, 2007

Just to let everyone know what has been going on with my groups:  I began having problems with time in T7, so I decided to lighten up on the blog project with my groups.  I will resume activities this week with an activity related to the writing assignment they will be doing. 

However, I have began writing activities for what I think will we do in IT1 next semester.  Remember the post about my students´ brainstorming clusters for blog activities?  Well I have come up with some general categories for the activities and have been organizing them into groups.  I will be posting them later this week and hopefully, you all will be able to help me to expand and start creating activities for these topics.

I will keep you posted!

ANY NEWS?

How are your blogs doing? My students have been posting on a weekly basis, motivated by the 5-point-credit-per-post policy I proposed. Thay have finally started checking out other students’ blogs and leaving comments, which I hope will encourage more frequent visits to their blogs outside class time and project assignments.
