The Chat in the Hat

So, hopefully you are all learing the tools to collaborate. When I was in high school, collaboration wasn't the norm; in fact, it was often seen as a sign of intellectual weakness. I know that some of you had similar experiences in school. Well, this isn't your grandma's school no more. There is so much to learn and amazing tools to allow teachers to make the curriculum fun and interesting. It's a shame that so many trees must die a senseless death as today's students try and make sense of an analog curriculum in a digital world :-)
You all should also be getting comfortable with webCT6, which we can now affectionately refer to as simply "The Six". I will continue to support you and, hopefully, you will continue to support your peers.
Today's topics will be PowerPoints and Rubrics as assessment tools. Both assignments are currently available on The Six.

Speaking of chatting, journal article number 2, "Chatting it Up Online" can be found with a simple search of the ISTE website. You sign-on, go to publications, select L&L, then find the "search past issues" on the right hand table. Once in the archives, find Volume 27, Issue 1, page 28. As an ISTE member, you are able to download the .pdf version of the article. I will probably post another article tomorrow . . .damn that summer schedule.
