The discussion this week through DSL was typical of these MSSE classes. Everyone made great points about how helpful this class was in regards to learning new web tools. We will be carrying a lot of new ideas back with us when school begins, and most of us seem very excited to implement these fun, innovative tools. I like that the discussion groups were kept small. This made it easy to read through all comments and make appropriate comments when needed. Creativity was a topic brought up by several classmates. These web tools will really allow the students to be creative and to allow them to express their ideas in other ways than just typical classroom discussions and Q & A. Several of us shared ideas about how to use these tools as alternatives to general lab reports.
One of the great things I love about teaching is learning from other teachers. This is a profession where others are so helpful and selfless. You can't say that about a lot of other professions. We are all here in this class to help us become better teachers so our students can have a really great education. I really enjoyed reading other classmates' blogs, comments, and posts on the wiki and D2L. From our discussion this week, it is clear that others here feel the same way and are very thankful for the power of the wiki!
