About this Noteblog

Noteblog entries completed across the semester will include discussion of assigned readings, special topics, response to children's literature, and language arts activities. These will be assigned to help us prepare for class and/r to write about our ideas during or after class. For each of these entries, we should try to discuss ideas from multiple sources--class discussions, course readings, personal experiences, classroom-based experiences, and reading of children's literature. We are encourage (but not required) to experiment with a variety of modes of expression--narrative, poetry, essay, journalistic, stories, charts, diagrams, representations, and so on.

This noteblog is where we will post required entries and respond to the ideas we are seeing expressed in others' entries. Noteblog postings are due prior to the start of class. Responses to postings are due prior to the next week's class.

Tons of Work!

Hello Beautiful Groupies,

I thought that I'd post once more before we have to turn in all of our entries. I'm hoping that I understand everything correctly that is due on Thursday... If anyone reads this and realizes that I'm off PLEASE email me and let me know--- oharaka1@msu.edu. Thanks! :)

Ok, so I'm thinking that we need to copy and paste all of our blog entries into a word document and then print them out as proof that we did them and have them... We also need to print out our "notebooks"/journals from Bath. I don't know about yours, but my entries are all pretty short! I wasn't sure what to do all semester! THEN... We need to print out AND fill out the self-evaluation rubric for the blog and the notebook. (By the way: I do NOT like self-evaluations!!! I feel like they are awkward. I feel bad giving myself a perfect score, but I don't want to give myself less that what I'd actually get from the teacher... and because I'm the one who made what I am evaluating, I think that what I did is correct even though it could be totally wrong...) The last thing we all need to bring to Thursday's class is our papers about Mrs. Potter's class. Does that sound right?

I also need some ideas from anyone who has started to think about their new technologies project. I posted what I want to do mine about, but now I'm pretty much stuck! I'm definitly a "foreigner" when it comes to new technologies. I can only imagine how I'll feel when I get older and new stuff is coming out and my students are using things that I've never even heard of!!

Hey Kathryn! I don't think we have do print out the evals for the blog and our participation thing for bath do we?? I don't remember her saying that but I could be wrong! Everything else sounds right though, so much to do! Ah! Anyways, I am not totally sure what I am going to do for my new literacies project either, I am also not the technology type...hopefully she'll explain it more in class tomorrow but I don't know!
