There is so much on the web for teachers and education, it is amazing we still need to purchase books! If schools were truly one to one with computers and students our curriculum's could be packed full of interactive teaching sites. The resources on the eduwiki was quite interesting, I could spend a lot of time on that site. Wimbia, the virtual classroom tool looks interesting. I can see using the virtual book clubs, teacher blogs (good subjects, very relevant material) and teacher tips often. I will have to bookmark that one.
I could see using quizlab with my students, though I don't give that many quizzes. I will have to try it out next year when I give my key command quiz. I will be using the engrade site with my UWM students.
Seeing the way the other students did their website evaluations did give me alarm. Every one's looks so much better than mine, but I did put a lot of work into it. I did it brief as I had the evaluation forms filled out and thought we would somehow be using those. I did it like the wiki paragraph said . I guess we are relying more on what we posted on our wiki pages.
Google docs is not always working for me. Sometimes I am able to copy the published link and sometimes I am not, so I have to copy and paste the whole document. I don't understand why this keeps happening, but I am getting away from creating links. I am going to get good at this and make it work. I hope to be better organized next class as I felt very hodge podge this class. As though I was moving 100 miles an hour and unable to catch my breath. I don't think the pressures of the holidays helped. It was stressful. If the schedule could be redone and the class end before Christmas, that would be most helpful. Having homework over that break was painful. Until we meet again.........
