Feedback

Ok, today I had my A Block give feedback to all the other core blocks on a discussion thread (on the wiki) titled feedback. What great insights and feedback they provided. I was really really impressed. Last night I started a discussion thread for their work so they could see what I was hoping for them to continue with the other blocks. 

Anyways, it went well and they caught more things than I might have. More than one pair of eyes is an asset. 

Actually, I think that a lot of learning was going on. I am a happy camper today.

A few updates

The school computers are slow....frustrating...anyways!

Have got the online survey going. Only one class has completed it thus far. I have read the responses.

A couple questions I have been tossing around with colleagues...
1) how should we assess group projects?

2) what is the easiest way to grade students on wikis

A difficulty ...how to correct work on wikis. Do I go in and edit their work? Or do I just give feedback on a discussion thread. Or what other brilliant ideas are out there?

Have also inlcuded an RSS feed on the wiki homepage to the Delicious tags that my students are using for each assignment/project. I give them a key word to use as a tag for each lab which they add to good resources. Now we have got some social bookmarking happening. The RSS feed is so much better than going in and out of Delicious to access resources.

Another day...another dollar
