Two sessions in one week! Now that's the kind of week I like! We got so much done. We couldn't post but we will later. TypePad was acting up a bit on Tuesday so your posts will hold in Word until next week. We always have to have a back up plan when working with technology, right? You showed your flexibility by regrouping when you could not make comments due to TypePad glitches and then there were further posting problems. You didn't let it stop you, you simply went into Microsoft Word and started typing your thoughts and ideas about our guide for blogging. I think this project is going to develop into something special. You have learned a lot about blogging so far this year and you are trying to put that together into a product that could help others beginning this journey. We had good discussions.
We also had a visitor in class - Ms. Ricketson from a nearby high school. She is interested in blogging next year with a gifted class. I know she learned a lot from all of you as she went around the room talking to the different groups who were working on specific topics we brainstormed on Inspiration. She plans to come back again. We welcome her!
These are some of the points that we listed as far as the mechanics of blogging goes. It's a good beginning! Emmy was a great note taker. That's not always an easy task when everyone is talking but she did it well. We took her notes and then worked in pairs to get our thoughts together. The first part is the mechanics but we know there's a lot more to blogging than just mechanics. We discussed that a bit but will get back to those important discussions.
Then Friday's session was really productive. Emmy and Jhonny have posted pictures, podcasts and their takes of the interviews with legislators, GSU personnel, and others at the GSU Legislative Appreciation Night. They plan to add to their posts but worked diligently to get the podcasts and pictures up! Good blogging takes time! We can't post some pictures we would like to post due to our research but Emmy managed to get a picture of herself with our governor, Sonny Perdue! And Jhonny got to shake his hand and appear in other great pictures with our government officials. They'll get to take a CD home of all those fantastic pictures. Great week in Geogia!
