Tonight

For tonight's class please be sure to bring a copy of your work on a flash drive if it is not web based.  I know many of you tried sending me your information.  I have linked some of the work to the blog.  I highly recommend that you refrain from viewing any of the work until we see them tonight.

I am really looking forward to seeing and hearing what everyone has to say tonight.

Please remember to bring me a hard copy of your self-assessment. 

I will also be collecting from those that purchased Pitas.  There will not be an order for food tonight so please ensure you bring something with you.  As you are aware, this will be a very full evening.

See you all tonight.

Final Class

Well the time is almost here for our final meeting.  From reading many of your posts I know that the three week block has been a great experience.  When it comes to completing your summary of learning, please remember that any learning from your three week block can and should be included.  It is great to read your thoughts on what we discuss in class and what you are seeing out in the schools.

Prior to April 5 it would be very helpful if you could provide the link to your Summary of Learning.  This way I could have all the links ready and save us some time.

Please provide a copy of your self-evaluation.  Please print this off from the google doc and fill out and bring to class. 

Also, for those that owe for pitas, please bring that to class! 

If you have any questions or concerns please be sure to contact me.

Your help is required

Hi team!  I am trying to finish up my project report  I was hoping that perhaps if you had a few minutes you could provide me with some thoughts.  I would be interested to get your feedback on your experiences with Twitter and Blogging thus far.  More specifically, when it comes to professional development, does the use of Twitter and Blogs benefit you?  Do you feel a sense of connection?  Any comments you leave are appreciated.  If I use some of the comments in my paper, names will not be used.  Thanks

Brian

Planning in Physical Education

This week we will be focusing in on planning in physical education. Please remember to submit your assessment breakdown in hard copy form this Thursday, January 26.

Comments on Blogs

As was mentioned, it it critical that we all begin the idea of commenting on each others blog.  Please ensure that you have your blog setup to allow comments.

For Blogger:

• on your dashboard, go to settings
• click on posts and comments
• under comments under who can comment, ensure you click anyone
• under comment moderation, ensure you click never

For Wordpress:

• on your dashboard, go to settings
• click on discussion
• under before a comment appears, ensure the box for an administrator must always... IS NOT checked off.

This should help ensure that we can all share comments. 

Last Night

Thanks again team for last night.  I really appreciate the focus and interaction considering the length of the day for all of you.  Some things to take away from last nights class:

1.  Goals - be sure to spend some time this week getting into the curriculum at whatever grade level(s) you choose.  It is important that we all have a clear understanding of the three goals.  Start looking at the outcomes to see what makes each goal unique, but also how at times the goals intertwine.  I would love to hear your thoughts on what you discover.

2.  Blog posts - Take some time to look and comment on others posts.  Remember, presentation is important as well as we move foreword.  Include a picture and try your best to reference where that image is from.  Also see if you can begin adding links into your post.  I know that this is new to many of you.  Keep at it!  I think it is a great way to share and learn from each other. 

3.  Twitter -  Remember to add a description and picture to your profile if you have not yet done so.  If you are having trouble thinking of things to tweet do not feel that you need to.  Instead spend some time searching and find some things to re tweet.  Again, this will become more comfortable over time.  It is important to embrace the change.

4.  Mark Breakdown - Start thinking about the allocation of marks for each assignment.  I will need that to be handed in to me as a hard copy in the coming weeks.  It does not need to be anything extravagant.


Reminder to the five that are attending GYM Nights next week.  Please be at St. Marguerite at 5:45pm. 

Keep working epe310!!!!! 

Supper Plans

Go to the Pita tab and copy the order form into an email and send me what you would like for supper next week.  If you are not interested that is fine.  You can then pay me that evening.  Thanks
