Day Nine (Monday July 18th)

Christine and I continued to plug away on our final assignment today. We made good headway but still need to finish it tonight. There are more details that I feel we would continue to add to it if we had more time. That being said, I'm also someone who would continue to tweak a project like this until the end of time if I was able to!!

I love the diversity that Book Creator brings to the classroom for students. It offers up a multitude of options when it comes to work production/presentation, not only in the app directly but also because there are numerous apps that can be imported into it.

Incorporating more opportunities for my students to choose ways to demonstrate their understanding in the ways that work best for them is one of my goals for this upcoming school year. This is something that I have been more consciously aware of the last couple of years and every year I try to make more of a concerted effort to the previous year. Our technology is very limited in our school of almost 500 students, so sharing what we have is a must and needs to be taken into consideration. I do have a couple of netbooks for my classroom but we are always sharing them amongst our classes so that one class has as close to a class set as they can at one time. I'm currently looking at this set up and trying to determine if there is a better set up when it comes to sharing our classroom netbooks to maximize options available to students. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Couldn't help but share this chuckle for the day:
