Day 1
August 11, 2008 | Tagged blogging, first day | Leave a Comment
Whew! After having been away from the classroom for two years, I’d forgotten how much a school day can do in your brain…I have a mish-mash of names, faces, things to do, things I forgot to do, and things I want to do all running around my brain at once. After finally overcoming an incredibly slow laptop and a TV missing some channels (namely the one with announcement on it) things finally started rolling a little bit. I did get a mini-lesson on the value of covering less material in depth…in many ways it felt like my first day teaching as opposed to my eighth first day. However, I am excited about the possibilities. I have a great group of students and can’t wait to get them blogging, filming, and talking about their experiences and ideas. There is a huge amount of potential and I hope I can tap into it.
I am still looking for others to communicate with, and any suggestions for blog services (I have over 120 7th graders) are welcome…
Learn well!
