Two weeks is a long time to wait to meet again but I am sure all of you had a great break! I hope you got lots of rest and had a good time.
First, a quick review of our last session.....
- You wrote some delightful introductions. I liked them so well that I posted them on this weblog for others to read. I'm sure our readers will understand why Ms. Meeler and I are excited about this group!
- We talked about how you would be taking charge of your learning in this group. You will tell the story of what you are learning and what it means to you.
- We discussed how you will use Bloom's Taxonomy to "bump-up" your thinking. This will be a challenge that will make you "sharp as a tack". The blue ribbons with key words from Bloom's Taxonomy have served many students at J. H. House. I'll have to take a picture so we can share these with others. We have huge ribbons with detachable key words under each level. The levels are knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. I'm going to show you a fun way to remember those words. We're going to do a skit that follows the letters... KCAASE! I hope I have some "hams" in this group. Hey, you will begin to realize why we named the technology trailer the K-Station. It will all fall together and we are going to have a whole lot of fun as we learn!
- You had the opportunity to preview student blogs created by former JHH students. It was so cool walking around hearing your comments. Plus, you all were toggling away between the blogs and Microsoft Word so you could copy and paste relevant posts. Isn't that a super way to take notes?
So, I'll see you in the morning! Can't wait!
