What fun!

It looks like many students from Mr. Powell's class are having fun with pictures with us. Mr. Powell is an English teacher at St. Georges Technical High School in Middletown, Delaware. His class is having conversations about writing and literature. Check out these comments. Don't you love it when other classes join in? Blogging is interactive and engaging in so many ways. I can't wait for you to read their thoughts. Then you will share yours! Think of all the ways we have learned with pictures this year. Visuals really help our learning. I will post what the picture actually is later this morning (after we have fun guessing and sharing our thoughts, of course). What fun!

Comments galore!

I just finished attending a K12 Online 2006 Fireside Chat with the preconference keynoter David Warlick. We used Eluminate Live software. This let educators from places all over the world gather in a virtual meeing place. It was cool. I would click on a little microphone to talk. My headset had an attached microphone that I used. Do you think it would be a good classroom activity to connect with a class, say in Canada or Scotland? What are some questions you might like to ask the students? What has been going on here in your class, town, county or state that you think would be worthwhile to share? Think about sharing, think about questioning.

Post those thoughts on a comment to this post. Remember, you want to think of thought-provoking questions that would help us learn more about how students from other countries learn. If you comment about what you would share, try to think of topics that would be of high interest. We're going to talk more about this in class.

Wow! Have you all received the comments this week! I can't wait for you to read them. It will be fun answering them. We'll also discuss some aspects of commenting and how to make the most of it! I'll share some thoughts about commenting with you on a wiki! Also, I will point you to the comment starter samples on our webquest. So the first order of business is commenting!
