Reflective+Journal+for+week+2

The wiki will be a place for class participants to post their assignments for the facilitator, Teresa Frankin, and Donna Pepper to allow them to assess our progress throughout the course as well as well as post assignments for graduate credit. It will also be a place for a journal for the posting of our reflections concerning our progress in the course. We may also invite others to share in our wiki.

This is definitely a eureka moment. I created this page a couple days ago. I thought that I would go over what I had done on the google site and make sure I did everything. I paniced because I was trying to find the journal on the google site. Nothing I did was there. Everyone who could possibly help me was busy. I messaged Terri, one of our team members if she remembered how to get to our wiki site, she said, "You are asking me?" "I'm clueless." As upset as I was, I started to laugh. Many in our building come to me to ask questions about computers, now I was asking them. They found it funny I guess. Anyway, after thinking for a moment, I remembered what to do, so here I am, on my wikki.

I am having fun with this at times. I have been in this building for 10 years, teaching the same subject. It seems like I never do the same thing twice from year to year because I hate repitition. During the last year or so, most of what I do seems stale, I know the kids are not eager to be here, every written assignments seems distasteful to them. I am excited to think some of these activities will change things and inspire students to be more actively involved in their education.

Members of our team have been upset by the comments of the course facilitator, we have been the only 3 to sign up so far for college credit. No one has responded to our posts but the other 2 people in our building, and it seems as though the questions are very vague but yet graded very critically using very biting comments. I don't know if I will continue to do the graduate work. We posted first and feel we are getting hammered.
