Progress Week 5

As far as progress goes, I am not as far as I would have liked. I have not started writing the prompts for the weekly blogs. They are in my head just not on paper yet. I have added the blogs to my first week of school plans. I am going to have to have the students set up a blog first and then sign them into the google reader to get the students posts. I am also going to have the first blog be about them and they can introduce themselves.

As far as the marketing tools. I am working on getting movie maker on my computer to have my seniors complete how-to videos to start the year off. I have also decided on the first two sections I will start with my juniors. I have started constructing a check list for them so that as we go through the 22 curriculum items they can check off what they learned and which product will be added to their portfolio.

This coming week is the county fair. My kids have projects so after fair week is over I will be able to get into school and achieve my goals.

  1. Kelly,
    It sounds like you are making progress because you have some great ideas that will be implemented when school is back in session. Also, the checklist is a great idea. Will they be doing a reflection for each new curriculum idea?

  2. Kelly,
    If you don't have them on paper at least put your blog prompts or possible prompts into a google doc or word doc so you can just revise and copy/paste when ready to post.
