Begin with the End in Mind
To start the year off right, we will be establishing ground rules and expectations for the Education and Training class. It is important that you start fast and finish strong. I like to begin with the end in mind. By the end of the 5th six weeks you will be expected to complete an electronic portfolio. A blog is only one of the many technology tools you will be proficient with by the end of the year.
Next week, you will be setting up your own blog account. Blog grades can be the difference in a C or an A in this class. I feel good writing skills are important for teachers to possess. Since written communication is extremely important for you in your career, why not start now? More information on blogs next week.
We will be establishing student made classroom rules.
This week, your blog assignment is to comment on my blog. Your comment is due by Friday, August 31. I will show you how and where to post a comment.
