This week was the first week of CI 302 for the semester. It's probably safe to assume that today was the easiest class that I will have all semester - in prep and in teaching. We started with introductions, a read through the syllabus and schedule, expectations and my teaching philosophy. I can already tell that teaching this class will stretch me professionally as I learn and grow with the students. Here is a link to the website for the course. I'm hoping to model a modified LMS through using Google Sites rather than a traditional LMS like Blackboard, Moodle, etc.
This week I also had students set up their blogs for the semester. I gave them the choice of Blogger or Edublogs. Many chose to use Blogger because it is connected to their Google account. This blog will serve as their reflective vehicle for the semester as well as provide me formative feedback on their connections and understandings throughout the course!
Finally, I asked the students to complete a form to help me get to know them this semester. I asked about what they hoped to learn in CI 302 as well as the tools that interested them the most. This should be a fun semester!
