Today, Dr. Preston talked about some of the emerging Collaborative Working Groups, including this one and a College/Scholarship Resource group led by
Maddie Klusendorf. He also invited everyone to brainstorm on a medium of P2P evaluation-- if
Alice says/posts/creates something really cool that helps
Bob, how can Bob give credit to Alice for her contribution? It's something to think about. For inspiration, check out
last year's solution.
Dr. Preston also announced that he is going to be a speaker at the
Innovative Learning Conference on Friday, 10/18, at 8:30. [You can see the outline of his speech
here.]
Of course, since talking in front just one screen is old, Dr. Preston is going to have THREE SCREENS Update: just kidding, Dr. Preston is going to have ONE screen, which towards the end of his presentation will be a video conference with his students right here at Righetti! [see comment below] Since it starts at 8:30, it'll be his 1st period Expository Composition class, unless y'all have any cool first period teachers who would be willing to hack their schedule for a day...!
The
Literature Analysis #2 blog post is due at exactly 5:00 pm tomorrow (thank you to Dr. Preston for the extra few hours after school to finish it!). There are two grades for the assignment: the first grade is either an A or an F, depending on whether you have it posted by the due date/time. The second grade is the familiar kind, based on content and how well the analysis is written.
Reminder: we have a vocab midterm tomorrow, so make sure you
study!
You're welcome for the extra hours! :) I'll only have one screen at the conference, so I plan to keep an open Skype connection so students can see/hear whole thing. Toward the end I'll minimize the Prezi on the presentation screen so the audience can see and talk with students.
