Sign Off

I’ll post the sign-off now as I see some of you are getting finished.  Finish all prompts tonight. (I’ll keep watching/reading/lurking).

We had another lively night of thinking and interacting.  You’ve come a long way (as DL astutely noted), not only in depth of thinking and dialoging, but also in technological nimbleness.

Your assignments for next week will be coming to your email Inbox tonight.  While there are no research topics (we’re done with those!), you will find the schedule by which you will present your lesson demonstrations tagged into that communiqué.

Thanks for making me a better educator. Your minds “push” me.

Launch

Back by popular demand is the prompt-dumping format in which I give you all the prompts and let you go at it.

The last prompt will will be entered around 9:00 p.m.; all others will be in your hands/court from the git-go.

Invocation

Prompt #2 Slides

Read carefully all slide presentations.
Identify the three presentations that seem to be most useful in helping you become a better educator and tell us why.

Prompt #3 Textbook Discussion

Take a few minutes to review Chapter 13 of Educational Psychology. If you were gonna take two thoughts/ideas from that chapter and make a couple of bumper stickers out of them, what would those bumper stickers say?
