I started to build a website using Google sites. This became a very big job and I decided to revamp my wordpress site instead. I did not want to lose the science material I had created, so I added additional pages.
-
I have a main idea and four questions. One question is written in detail. I have found what I think are some relvant readings for all of the questions.
-
I have a wiki space that I can use with my class for an online discussion space
-
Harpal & I have created a tutorial for the students to learn how to use the wiki space.
-
The website has been changed from what I used with my science class. it now contains the necessary materials for my planning class to begin.
-
Students begin the planning class. Unfortunately, the computer lab is not yet available so we are working in a regualr classroom.
-
Students can now work online every class. We are using the computers daily. There is a steep learning curve to using the website which I had not anticipated.
-
I have made a page with clear directions. Students are reluctant to try posting.
-
Students finally make a post on the WIKI. Adoption of this site is very slow. Not all students are readily particpating. The students are not following the directions for posting.
-
I typed a very general timeline in word. Stephan recommended that we create a timeline.
-
Because of sparse use, I have assigned a mark to each WIKI post. I did not want to do this, as it goes against what I believe to be formative assessment but I want students to use the WIKI. It worked, they all posted in week 3!
-
The dropdown menus on my wordpress site are difficult to work with. Unfortunately, this is due to the theme I chose. I am not willing to change the theme at this point in my project. I chose to revamp my website, breaking the planning class into two pages. I will revisit my website and change the theme after the planning class is complete, in preparation for the next time I teach it.
-
I stopped using "week" in my page title. I prefer the more descriptive name. It makes it easier to discuss the posts in class and the week is not really important.
-
I went back to the web to find more readings related to my research project.
-
I want to use a program for my sources. I am having great difficulty with refworks. I tried EasyBib today. Jeff mentioned this site this past semester.
-
FINALLY!
-
What I need to do for this:
All tenses changed to past. Writing for the 2nd question should be done (at least started). Begin describing what I did in the project. -
Must be done by this date!
-
IAL Class Blog
Blog will be used with my ESL English class. -
Changed title to match with course name. Added 1st page for the class.
-
Students created the gmai account and were then invited to the blog space.
-
Students submitted their responses to "The Umbrella". All students were successful except for two.
-
Finish updating the fall course. Add any new material from the 2 courses this semester.
