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.
