Reflections on the end of the semester

Hi Everyone,

I look forward to participating in this Ning and may invite my pre-service teachers to be a part next semester, too, if that is OK with the group.

At any rate, I finished grades today and took some time tonight to capture my thinking on the semester. Hope it might give you something to think about as you incorporate newer literacies and technologies into your teaching, too.

I saw your blog post today about using Portable Apps and I need to know more. I wonder if I could twist your arm and get you to write a quick post here at our Ning about how you use it and the benefits.
I am sure I am not alone in wondering how to go about it.
Hope all is well with you!
Kevin

You can make contacts and friends in a few minutes, and many, many things are easy to learn -- but there's also a lot that's more difficult to observe without more time. I am most interested in teaching in SL, specifically in peer/viral education in which users teach each other, though I've observed some classes and more formal ed. too. Findings so far: it's engaging, and engagement is good, but it's also distracting and by no means magically better than "RL" instruction.

Dawn wrote it up as a paper for her teacher research/writing class this spring, and now I have to go through it and add my part of the data. Which, of course, would require me to listen to and analyze that data. Which, of course, requires some time. Which, of course.... well, you get the picture.

The draft is due by August 31st, right? So, officially, I still have time, I think...

How is your chapter going?
I haven't yet started mine (yikes) but I am going on a WMWP writing retreat the first week of August to do the bulk of my work on the chapter.
