LWICT at GSC

Jeff’s class came in on Friday.  We gave them minimal instructions on the Character Analysis.  That did not work too well.  I then went around to each student in the class and showed them how to copy and paste from the English Blog to theirs and update.  Students got stuck on what to write.  Perhaps there needed to be more discussion of what would go into a character description in the regular classroom before the blog.

Marie brought her class and for the first time.  I went through the rules and logging one.  Two students seemed to keep getting logged off Wordpress.  I later asked Kevin to delete their profile to see if that helps.  It was a lot of talk and demo from me (using the projector) which is always hard.  I was concerned because some students were off task.  However, later after talking to Marie she felt that the students were generally more productive and engaged. We have a follow up meeting tomorrow.

Nat’s class is done for the year so I am going to do a paper feedback sheet to determine the impact if any of the blogging.
