PD Post Game Review

- make an email address

- get comfy posting

- try creating a blog

- post questions on the pd workshop blog, we can all continue to look and share
Hello Team,

To get started you will need an active email (rogers, yahoo, gmail)

As a suggestion try making a new gmail email address

i.e. mrcheney@gmail.com

If you take the next steps and create a class blog you will want to keep your email private and create an email solely for blogging.

Once you are ready check out the first 3 posts and push comment (the bottom of each post) and add your comments

Have you used a blog before?

What do you want to learn?

Hello Team,

Please share some thought on what you hope to learn from this workshop.

As well, please share what you hope to achieve with your class in the blogging experience?

As you will learn the blog holds unlimited options to support your teaching practice and pedagogy.  The key is that you can use it to satisfy your needs as a teacher, rather then being obligated to fulfill the desires and needs of others.

    I wish to learn how to sep up a blog for students to use for their reading responses and to create a forum for students to engage in the process of communicating with descriptive feedback.

    I really like the survey features in Chey's blogs. The instant tally and percentage results are reflective of the math curriculum and research expectations.

    I want to integrate this new piece of technology into the classroom to produce a greater love for learning and I think it is going to be a great time to introduce it to the class as our class is learning about report writing.

    I participated for a very short time on Mr. Cheney's blog with his students and we had an engaging discussion related to student life. I was impressed with the some of the depth of thought that students expressed. The most surprising thing was that the blogging experience reached out to those students that communicate more expressively through writing than orally. I saw a side in some of our students that I wouldn't have seen. It was phenomenal!

    on average, how long do you take on assessing each night to review responses?

    I love the idea of blogging with students, but I wonder how do we provide support for ELL and students with IEP? Also what about students who do not have a computer or internet at home? How much time does blogging take in classes? lots of questions!! Alecia

    To Alecia, I feel that like Cheney said, you can book computer time or makie ti within a certain time frame. As for ELL and IEP, you can surf the web or input your lessons so that students can have access and reply

    to continue Alecia, I think I will start as a reading response so they can practice writing with grammar or you can teach listening skills and how they respond or a parking lot where questions can be posted.

    I spend around 30 - 45 minutes at night on the blog.

    but not all at once...5 minutes here and 10 minutes there. My class has 3 waves of peak viewing

    ELL,, IEP I have no experience but feel there can be enough variety on the Blog that IEP and ELL could efficiently and actively participate.

    in polls or quiet reading responses, or even in single word activities.

    this is a challenge I have not yet faced and thus addressed
