While browsing Classroom 2.0 I stumbled upon this good post: a wiki where educators can learn what a digital equivalent of an analog and traditional lesson is. Like the mind mapping lesson that we use in the traditional analog lesson, they can be done in programs like Kidspiration or Insiration.So, instead of telling teachers to add onto lessons, this site is dedicated to showing the digital equivalent of the exact same lesson.

when parallel lines meet

I am happy that I was able to make the online tool work for the students and I was able to start mentoring them with their science research. On the other side of it I feel bad that I took me this long before I could figure out how to solve the problems we are having. Looking back, I hated the idea about this project being endorsed to me, not because I don't like this project but because I hate handling projects that has to be turned over in the middle of the implementation or where I was not part of the conceptualization.

I was drafting this post in my mind yesterday as we start a good day with our monitoring visits. There is no particular line up of schools but we need to prioritize meeting those who have "for pull out" status. We need to justify them and see how well or how very bad they're doing. And its a bit warmer than we first did our visit to them, the teachers are more accommodating and more excited to share about the status of the project. I have a theory for this: during summer they don't want to be disturbed because they are all busy being idle and that they hate being there in school for the summer break; and on school days they will entertain us so that they will be temporarily away from their boring routine/tasks/classes. It really not a well pondered theory but it bears a good point. (",)
