I'm not sure if it was the dreary weather, or the controversy with staffing at my work, but we were quite the edgy bunch today. Even our students were a little wacky - a front coming through? Throughout my teaching career, I have to say that I have seen some definite trends and unusual behaviors in my students when the barometer changes or the moon is full...hopefully tomorrow will be a better day, and we can all work out our issues together. Stay tuned.
I am still working hard on Web 2.0 - and I set up some ideas and a recorder for podcasting - yeah! I saw some fantastic ideas for how to use such a thing with my students - with buddies, to understand a topic, or introduce basics behind things. We could also have sound pieces for kids in listening to books - our own source for audiobooks! The implications are enormous, and I look forward to working with it more! Also, as a teacher, I could use a podcast to teach or explain something when I'm absent, or to make sure I include everything I'd need to teach students during a future presentation of the same info - WOW!
My brain is swimming, and I still have much to do this evening. I'll check in more tomorrow.
