There is Light!

Today the IT specialist from both schools attended my morning classes. The students began reading their Questions handouts from the Google Site and collaborated on a Google Doc: Packet 2 Notes. They are building a study guide and question list for the Packet 2 quiz.

Initially there was a dance of access, since the Google Groups made yesterday were visible from one school but not the other. That was corrected and  things got lively!  Most of the students in Period 2 are repeaters so they did not have to linger over the reading as long as Period 1. The study guide is building, and the quiz questions are being formulated.

Some had time to introduce more gadgets into their blog, heightening their opinion of Blogger as a journaling tool. Locating personal gadgets that make their blogs useful was successful as far as I could tell. A couple students started to get overzealous with off-topic gadgets and toys, but once they were reminded that this particular Blog is topic related the choices were more focused.

Big sigh of relief today.
