On Monday, you should have created a Gmail account, your blog, and added an About Me tab as your first blog page. You also successfully joined our Edmodo group and even added a profile picture. The intro letter/About Me should be completed by class tonight. We will discuss peer comments and submit the assignment in Edmodo tonight.
Tonight, I will discuss in more detail how to complete the journal assignments. We will look at L&L and the Citation Machine to ensure you know how to access the articles and how to properly cite them using APA format. Your first two journal entries; however, do not require APA citation. We will look at the School 2.0 Reflection Tool and how to take a screen capture on the Mac that you will incorporate into journal 2. We will also begin, and perhaps complete, the classroom newsletter using Microsoft Word. I asked you in class Monday to bring a colorful drawing of yourself that you can incorporate into your newsletter. If you need to scan the image, we have plenty of scanners in the room. I will also introduce the use of Twitter, yes Twitter, as an amazing networking tool to find resources and connect with other teachers around the globe!
Don't forget to bring food and drink as we will be in the lab for quite a while!
Day 2 Agenda
Question 2: What should every teacher know about you?
That I am a very hard worker and dedicated to helping every student reach their highest potential.
ReplyDeleteThat I am a visual learner and I won't give up until I've learned a skill or gotten a project done right.
ReplyDeleteI am a kinesthetic learner and have a great memory. I take a lot of pride in my work and tend to "overdo".
ReplyDeleteEvery teacher should know of my commitment to go above and beyond what is expected of a teacher.
ReplyDeleteI am a visual learner and I love the challenge of teaching challenging students. Would like to thank the two classmates who flanked me on both sides as I constantly interrupt their learning to help me.
ReplyDeleteI am flexible and easy to work with and I like (most) people.
ReplyDeleteI always strive for excellence, and enjoy learning something new.
ReplyDeleteIf your excited about what your teaching i'm going to be excited to learn about it!
ReplyDeleteEvery teacher should know that when they are lecturing and I am doodling on my paper, I am still listening! I merely do this so that I have constant mental stimulation. I have to keep my hands and eyes in motion, and have found that it actually helps me retain information better :).
ReplyDeleteI am a hands on and visual learner. I am famous for procrastinating, yet I will get the job done!
ReplyDeleteThat my way of thinking is very mathematical and my way of learning is very visual!
ReplyDeleteA teacher should know that every student has a least some desire to do good and succeed. The teacher should therefore never give up on any student.
ReplyDeleteI am an easy student to deal with, laid back, and my assignmnets will be make it there on time.

I am a visual and kinesthetic learner. I am loud and a bit of a clown, yet I am driven and determined. I am my harshest critic.
ReplyDeleteI am excited and love to learn. I like to have fun and may goof off at times, but I know when to be serious. I may be a little technologically challenged, but I will get there!
ReplyDeleteEvery teacher should know that I have a horrible time being a linear thinker but will adapt accordingly. I do best in learning environments that are visual. I have to ask questions..
ReplyDeleteEvery teacher should know...
ReplyDeleteI am focused and driven to complete all goals set before me.
I tend to want everything I do to be perfect and am very hard on myself when it's not, which it never seems to be.
ReplyDeleteI am a perfectionist and over think any project, assignment, presentation, etc. I have a reason and explanation for everything I do. I expect the highest of myself and when I dont do well, I extremely hard on myself. I also over analyze...I will always do the best I can do.

ReplyDeleteI am hard working and easy to work with.
ReplyDeleteEvery teacher should know that I am very determined in whatever I do. I have always struggled in school, but I always find a way to do well!
ReplyDeleteEven though it may not always be apparent, I am smart.
ReplyDeleteWhat every teacher should know about me is that I try to do the best that I can in the work I do as long as teachers are willing to do their best to teach.
ReplyDeleteI work well by diving into a situation and then asking questions along the way and to do lists are extremely important to me because I have a tendency to lose track of what needs to get done when given several assignments at once or if assignments are not all posted in the same place.
ReplyDeleteI'm allergic to raspberry seeds. (not deadly)
ReplyDeleteI am a visual learner. Taking notes by hand helps me memorize class material.
ReplyDeleteI over-analyze most things and tend to be a perfectionist, especially on projects. If it's a group project, I tend to chose the role of being the leader if I feel as though things are not getting finished. I'm still learning :)
ReplyDeleteI am not a perfectionist, though I wish I was...
ReplyDeleteI love to procrastinate, hence I am writing this answer today. I'm working on it! :)
ReplyDeleteIt takes me a very, very long time to complete what is asked of me because I over analyze, critique, and dissect my own work beyond what is probably expected. I also work the best under pressure therefore, I am a huge procrastinator. I need to change that about myself (which is also something I've "been working on" since I was in second grade)...hence, the whole problem I have with procrastination, thing.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I intentionally refuse to learn something on principle.
