<p>Each year, when the last week of school is fast approaching, I always find myself starting a "To Do in the Fall" list. I teach French in a high school for gifted students. This year, I really enjoyed Google voice for their speaking assignments - but there were a couple of times I did not even listen to the assignment because I ran out of time. I realized, when it was too late, that I should listen in depth and give extended feedback to 25% of them at a time, and at the end of the month…</p>
<p>Each year, when the last week of school is fast approaching, I always find myself starting a "To Do in the Fall" list. I teach French in a high school for gifted students. This year, I really enjoyed Google voice for their speaking assignments - but there were a couple of times I did not even listen to the assignment because I ran out of time. I realized, when it was too late, that I should listen in depth and give extended feedback to 25% of them at a time, and at the end of the month everyone will have had good feedback once. I realized my students actually need training in how to compose an email to a teacher, and in what a professional email address looks like. I finally acknowledged this year that Moodle is overkill for what I need, and instead of paying for my domain and hosting I'm migrating to edmodo. I also have teacher guilt: we didn't spend enough time integrating technology this year, we didn't incorporate enough culture. My "To Do" is starting to get full!</p>

<p>What are some things that you will do differently next year? What did you try this year that failed? That succeeded? How did you learn to tweak what you did this year? I would love to hear from the wonderful breadth of experience in this Ning.</p>

<p>Thanks - and when it comes for you, have a beautiful summer! We're out May 25th here in Tucson.</p> Call for help from art educatorstag:www.classroom20.com,2010-02-23:649749:Topic:4384442010-02-23T01:28:09.906ZKevin Conradhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/KevinConrad
Hi, My name is Kevin and I'm completing my final year at Konstfack, the art teacher college in Stockholm, Sweden. I am writing a final paper on the use of Web 2.0 tools in the classroom from both a educator and student perspective. I've found some really great ideas here. The problem is that I have read and replied to posts that are more than two years old and am not sure if there will ever be a continuation of the conversation. <br></br><br></br>In my final research for school, which is still in the…
Hi, My name is Kevin and I'm completing my final year at Konstfack, the art teacher college in Stockholm, Sweden. I am writing a final paper on the use of Web 2.0 tools in the classroom from both a educator and student perspective. I've found some really great ideas here. The problem is that I have read and replied to posts that are more than two years old and am not sure if there will ever be a continuation of the conversation. <br/><br/>In my final research for school, which is still in the planning stages, I want to either interview a few teachers or ask them to fill out a questionnaire on how they use the various tools. As of right now, interviewing seems like it would yield more info. I'm particularly interested in student portfolio work and how the portfolio can serve as a tool for: reflection, review of past work, etc. If you are willing to take a moment within the next two weeks to share your experiences then I would be grateful. It is also fun to do some of my research on social media via social media :)<br/><br/>You can also gladly give me some insights here as to how you use different media, but I would also like to either chat via msn or the like or call you (on my dime). <br/><br/>/Kevin <br/> End of Year Reflectiontag:www.classroom20.com,2009-05-31:649749:Topic:3473332009-05-31T03:11:44.140Zrauchell mannhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/rauchellmann
This year did not go as well as I'd hoped. Some of my students did not make the gains that I hoped for. I have several students only reading 2-5 words more than what they started the year out with. Some did not progress in math. I worked on a lot of phonics and comprehension strategies. Overall I am not pleased. We accomodated and modified assignments. I'm not sure what went wrong. If there is anyone with success stories please share them. My students are fully included in the general education…
This year did not go as well as I'd hoped. Some of my students did not make the gains that I hoped for. I have several students only reading 2-5 words more than what they started the year out with. Some did not progress in math. I worked on a lot of phonics and comprehension strategies. Overall I am not pleased. We accomodated and modified assignments. I'm not sure what went wrong. If there is anyone with success stories please share them. My students are fully included in the general education classrooms. I pull them out for reading along with general education students. I work in small groups during math time. What more can I do?

Which technology tools are you using to encourage (and record) student reflection? Tried any that didn't work so well? Thanks for sharing your ideas and experiences.<br />

<em>How precious you are. I have been watching you in my garden since I first saw you, neck outstretched with beak opened to the Mexican sun. Now it seems you are ready to fly... teetering on the edge of your nest looking toward the sky. How did you come so far, in so little time it seems?</em><br />

<em>You really alarmed me little colibrí when your mother did not return to her nest to warm you during the chill of night. I didn't know what to do. I knew it was too late…</em>

<em>You really alarmed me little colibrí when your mother did not return to her nest to warm you during the chill of night. I didn't know what to do. I knew it was too late for her to return, much too dark to fly in the blackness of night. And, I had already stepped in once when your nest and you and your sibling fell to the ground. But now what to do? What do you drink and eat? Do I need to cover you at night? The season is unusually cold. Will you survive without your mom? It has now been several days, and she no longer returns at night to protect you. Did she abandon you, little hummingbird, because I had touched you and your nest? Was my well-intentioned intervention wrong? Did I do harm? I didn't want to. I only wanted you to fly, to live.</em> <a href="http://franksblog.edublogs.org/2008/02/03/dear-hummingbird/" target="_blank">>> continue reading</a>
