End of ITS

My oh my where does time go!!! I cannot believe that tomorrow night is our last class. In 10 days we will be done with the entire program. I was so excited to turn in my practicum last night and have immediate feedback this morning that it was accepted and good to go!

Now if I could just get my PLPs passed off. I submitted it quite some time ago and got it back yesterday with a Redo Again...so I immediately sent my response because I wasn't sure when it would be sent back again. A few hours later, I get the 'try again with feeling message.' I know my PLP was good for this one too. My feeling on that whole section is at this point I just wanna be done! ahhhh! Anybody else frustrated with the online course or got any tips to meet my mentor's standards?

Podcasting

I'm not much of a fan of actually creating podcast and listening to my own voice. However, I do think they would make great projects in the classroom. They were fun to create during our class. I struggled at first for a lesson plan because I don't really teach. I ended up and made an assignment for my tech aids to make podcast for technology tips for teachers. I think it could work. It would be more fun to do in a Science or English class. Or a music class would be a great place for them. Another problem we see with this is acquiring the microphones. Podcast become available at FCPS on blackboard this Friday, May 4!!
