The school year has gotten off to a great start. Our oldest child has headed off to kindergarten and loving it. Our youngest is back at daycare and adjusting to the new morning routine around here. I on the other hand seem to be trying hard to keep my head above water.
With being a mom, wife, teacher, and student this fall has really kept me on my toes. Trying to pace myself and pioritize what needs to be done first. I have learned and completed my week two assignments for my 3rd master's class. They included working on my Blog, creating a Twitter account that is linked to this Blog, and designing a wiki at PBwiki.com.
I have met many challenges this week with the assignments. Trying hard to adapt a wiki for my first grade class seems very difficult. I have decided to do a type of story writing with one of my favorite first grade writers. We will explore the stories written by Barbara Parks and also read her biography. We will compare and contrast how we are like the main character, Junie B. Jones.
I feel comfortable with this portion of the task but am not sure if the wiki will be the right application to use for this project. I have looked at the different types of access I could allow my students and their families to have at the wiki and I am thinking maybe read only. They will still have an opportunity to make comments and I feel that is where they can respond to the questions I wanted to to do.

Hello Superwoman...
ReplyDeleteIt's the weekend and that finds me parked in front of my computer working on similar assignments. It looks as though you are managing everything quite nicely. I knew you would! Your site looks awesome. Just keep swimming ;-)
