Thank you Sandy and Kathleen

What I learned is that the end is the beginning. A very good lesson for me. Now I am ready to start the class again and really learn more. What I would take away is how powerful the last class was & it is a mini-lesson in what I/others can do next time: the model of the last class is eminently adaptable to several of the other classes (including perhaps the 1st one...). What did we do: we made something first, we reviewed what we did, we did some neurological imprinting of it, then we broke up into affinity groups, and we collaborated + talked to each other + we wrote to + networked with each other. Maybe that could be done every 3 hour session we have/had? Maybe do it 2 x's in the 6 hour all day session? It is the "imprinting" that I think is so powerful, as well as discovering the synergy within the affinity groups - to start with the affinity groups in February would make the experience different. Would it have been more powerful? That is something I think about, and will continue to think about as I design more lessons using technology and inter-activity.
Thanks Kathleen and Sandy for giving me so very much to work with, think about, and make new again.

Hello To Fellow Post-ers

I have tried to edit my web site- mrfcomsite - so that the pages are in the proper order but ...it didn't work. Right now the site is very "clunky" - the goal of my site is to teach students the value of using their Student Planner daily. I will re-try using Sandy's method & will see where it gets me.

Full Disclosure

I am working on my other blog: www.whsgreenies.blogspot.com and the fact that I have picked up 3 other followers is immensely cheering. I am also going to take a class at the end of March on "thinkfinity" offered by our very own Sandy Somera. I am really looking forward to spending a day doing in-depth work on this really interesting program that can really move my students to a interesting new level. You want to know who the "real blogger felsenfeld/green editor guy" is? Please visit me at www.whsgreenies.blogspot.com - I crave followers.

Blogging About Blogs

This post is about my other blog: www.whsgreenies.blogspot.com. I post on that one because I am a member of The Greenies and Gardners Task Force at Woodside High School, AKA, "The G2Force". Our meetings are ocassional, but most enjoyable and I hope we can meet more often in the coming years. I joined the group because they are a collection of "doers", with a keen interest in creating a "greener school". The blog started as an e-mail letter, and yesterday and today I did my first posting on it. We have 2 followers so far - I hope we can get more; I feel myself developing a "proprietary interest" in it. Curious, but then again not so curious. One of the two followers is Lexie Pretto from our ITEC 814 class. She makes me interested in seeing what her "blah-blah-blah blog" is all about. Is this a form of "blog fever?"

MY FIRST POST

This is going to be very short, because my other long, detailed posts were lost in the blogosphere and I have to recreate this new blog...so I am taking no chances this time.
