Summer Priorities

Areas of Concern

getting courses talking to each other – creating interaction between class

  • requiring commenting across blogs
  • shared projects
  • Need clearer sense of how things are being sent to various blogs, tagging systems, where we’ll cluster documentation for field trips — physical structure of interaction
  • Field trip cluster — do we want to have students document and share — do we want to give class time to watching what students filmed and said about Whitman House, for example — watch, discuss. Or require as homework — watch what Camden students put up (fieldtrips.lookingforwhitman.org)
  • cluster on site for field trips — post schedules as they emerge — documentation of field trips

    • — Need training Manual so that on first class students can be walked through blogging
    — Knowing structure/procedure for interschool connections — protocol for that
    — Groups/BuddyPress stuff/Twitter

    — add events calendar
    — schedule a weekly conference call
    — during conference call — discuss highlights of week, make a quick list, send out to everyone involved in project
    — blog post after class — take five minutes at the end of class and brainstorm — most important thing we did today

    — worried that things are too distributed — how many things do I have to keep up with and how diluted to conversations become if they’re happening in six different spaces instead of one space or two spaces

    — create introductory video/screencast that can be shown in all classes on the first day
