Five more days!

Thanks for completing the surveys. They were extremely helpful in planning. I enjoy getting to know each of you a bit through your responses and it is always nice to know what grade levels and subject areas you teach. Most of you are very comfortable with e-mail, general search strategies and bookmarking sites. About half the class has some experience with blogging, WebQuests, and Videostreaming.
When asked what types of things you would like to do with your students, most of you responded with a focus on research strategies. A couple of you also mentioned data gathering and analysis and possible correspondences with "experts." We will be doing some of this on the first weekend.
This class has the most math/science teachers I have ever had in a cohort and I am looking for some special ideas/sites in relation to research and data gathering. The Internet is a prime place for corresponding on scientific projects. Check out this blog from a high school math teacher.

Feel free to respond by adding a comment before we meet this weekend.
You can find my most current version of the syllabus on MyLesley.

Looking forward to your course! Can't wait to create a web quest of my own!
