Pete,  It looks like we are partners for Mikes class. What is the best way, in your opinion, to keep in touch. I am open to google docs, email, skype, or phone discussion. I think we live too far away from each other and are both busy enough that face to face would not be helpful to either party. Let me know your thoughts. I look forward to a collaborative semester. Talk to you soon.  Thanks  Susan  Pete K. to me show details Feb 2  Our class schedules are so tough to coordinate to use Skype, is there something else we can do in the mean time, like evaluate each other's portfolios on taskstream? Or is evaluating each other's presentation of a lesson the meat and potatoes of his course... I'm honestly not too sure. I feel like the class is a bit vague. Am I the only one that feels this way.  Any thoughts?  -Pete  Susan Kipp to Pete show details Feb 4 Pete,  I too feel lost. I believe that the meat and potatoes if you will is our collaboration and evaluation of portfolio as well as our lesson. That being said, neither of mine are very good at this point. I want to go back and work on my portfolio, but haven’t had time and to be quite honest, I don’t teach a class per se and my video and class lesson stunk.  We can either move forward and share our taskstream "stuff" with each other to critique or we can try to contact one of our trusted classmates for clarification. In either case, I am with you...    I say we move forward and do our best to help each other "fix" our portfolios. I am back from vacation but have not been well. I have to contact each professor to let them know that I will be having surgery soon I should be up and around fairly quickly and in any case, will be hanging around and hopefully able to coherently post on our the DD.  How do we go about sharing our portfolios? BTW.. email will work for me, for now although its getting difficult to communicate effectively. We will make this work creativity will be the key!!! <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Thanks <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Susan <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Pete K. to me show details Feb 5 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">I hope that your surgery will go well and you get well/feel better soon! I am not sure how to allow access to taskstream... I can email someone in our group ... I think Kelly is reviewing Jeremy's portfolio. Mine is bare bones at this point. Just what we did in the summer, and assignments uploaded. Also for mikes class, perhaps we could give brief feedback on our practicum for Andy's class? Mine is extremely boring, What do you think? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> I'll give this some more thought. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Feel better!!! <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">-Pete <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Susan Kipp to Pete show details Feb 5 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Attached is a copy of my lesson…Enjoy! <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">S <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Pete K. to me   <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">show details Feb 7 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Thanks Susan.. I will take a look at it this week... As far as staying afloat, I feel like I have one nostril above water and am about to drown! I always have this feeling that everyone is breezing through, and for some reason I am the only one frazzled and always afraid of failing this whole thing... Between work, 2 babies under 21 months, and masters, I am the busiest I have ever been! The only time I get work done is after 9pm every night, and that is IF my boys stay asleep! Anyways, sorry for venting... don't mean to sound like I'm complaining... Once the master's is over life will seem like a cool breeze! I really hope that Mike doesn’t come down hard on us... because honestly I'm STILL not really sure what's going on in his class besides us evaluating each other's project from Andy's class... Take care of yourself Susan... one week at a time... we'll reach the finish line. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Have a great week. -Pete <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Susan Kipp to Pete show details Feb 9 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Pete, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Well you are ahead of me. Did you take a look at my implementation report. It's on the use of Tizmos. Mike didn’t like it when I submitted the rough copy at the end of the summer and I earned a B. Andy liked the idea and I earned an A. So go figure. In any case. I used Camatsia (Jing) to record the lesson, I also gave students a copy of print directions. I am not sure how to send the Camtasia or video to you so here is my implementation report. I feel like I am barely afloat this semester between home, work, and school! <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Susan <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Pete K. to me   <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">show details Feb 11 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> I am finally getting around to sending you these... It is my lesson plan, and implementation report for Andy... (if comments appear, just turn them off) I would skim it... With all of andy's comments and revision requests, it kind of took on a life of its own, and direction I never intended. (the whole experimental vs. control group thing) Clickers may not be a big deal in math, but in art class this was a huge leap... My video is complete, but not sure how to get it to you... Email is not working as well as it could…Lets try another mode of communication. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Hope you are well! <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">-Pete <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Pete K. to me   <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">show details Feb 13 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">If you are up and available now, call me 860-690-7063 I will be up for a few hours. If not, then tomorrow any time after 4 pm. Just give me a call and we will set up to Skype. Do you have a cell #? To be honest, I'm not sure what format this is supposed to be submitted in to Mike.
