The new school year is here, and as one of my professional goals I am going to attempt to blog once per week. That might not seem that often, however, I know how busy the weeks can be. I am hoping to share this blog with others to learn and share what I am doing in my classrooms.
We began with a well-done presentation on formative assessment. I did take away some valuable information in that presentation. One of the ideas is to create Teacher Learning Communities. This is an attempt to begin facilitating one for myself. We also have a student teacher in our department this semester. Wish him well, and I am so hoping he enjoys his time at VAHS.
As I begin the year, I am using Moodle in two of my courses: Desktop Publishing and eTechnology. In Desktop I will be using Moodle as a place to share information. In eTechnology, students will be using more of the available tools. A goal I have is to have a week's worth of curriculum ready to go on Monday with it due by Friday at midnight. Students can then work at their own pace, work at home, at the library, etc. I'm not there yet, but perhaps for next week?
I've not given much thought to my Mac Applications course...I need to get going on that ASAP! Tomorrow the freshmen arrive, and Wednesday we are off and running.
