I really enjoyed visiting my fellow Timber wolves' blogs to read about their experiences so far. I felt a little better knowing that some others are struggling a bit with this too. But I also got inspired with some great ideas from our really techy Timber wolves! I got more excited about learning and trying new things when I saw some examples of what teachers have done with their students. The book trailer that Jeanette posted and the Animoto presentations Annie posted really interested me. This project has opened my eyes to what teachers are doing that I may not have been aware of because I did not work directly with them. I think this 11 Tools project is going to enhance my instruction and make learning even more fun for my students!
I went out to a few blog sites and tried to search for others I might be interested in following. I searched for special ed sites and struggling readers sites. I will continue looking. I wish that I had more time to explore! Good thing summer is coming!
I would have liked to have seen the big picture of what I was going to learn and explore in this project before starting. I'm the kind of learner who likes the big picture and then the details.
