Day One Successful
Day one of making this stuff real was very successful! In two 45 minute periods I was able to get most of the students in each of my two Bio II classes logged into both Diigo and the class wiki. A few kids did a bit of whining about having to use the technology, but just as many said (aloud!) ..."this is cool". Not one of the kids had ever even heard of social bookmarking. Our head librarian sat in and helped me help the kids through the login process. Next class I will show some how to videos as well as getting into the content of climate change. Exciting stuff!

Well, it sure sounds like you got their attention! Glad to hear you were able to have the librarian there as well. I suspect the grumbling will fade pretty quickly as they really get going with it.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I look forward to more of your reflections as you go through this. Make sure you keep us all up to date on your adventures in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marilyn, once they start getting further into it, they'll love it!
