Week+3+(January+25,+2010)

Week 3 (January 25, 2010)
What did we do today? Notes:
 * Discussion about the articles we read: You don't have to make the classroom a place that is completely technology based, but meet the students half way. They are bored, that's the biggest problem. How can you make the classroom interesting for them?
 * French teachers: when they write an essay, get them to show you every step of the process. Brainstorming, the 1st draft, changes they have made. Google translator works super well, so how can you get them to write their own paper without it?

note: I should see if I can use the Smart Ideas software to help with brainstorming. Here's a video that shows how it works:

 * Discussion about how to improve my wiki (check out the course website) (e.g.: shorter entries, make it personalized (pic of me), more links to other websites)
 * Post a 30 second Pod Cast on the wiki
 * I am presenting my Lesson plan with Jenn on week 7
