Jeff's CSUSM Ed422 Spring 06 Blog

Wow, ya'll have accomplished a lot in five short weeks. I saw some amazing newsletters that show me how much some of you have grown. I say "some" because I know that I cannot take credit for all the amazing talent in my three classes. Thanks for all of your hard work!

I have graded everything up to date, including all redos. If you find an error or something that needs graded, please let me know. There were quite a few of you who have yet to complete the Task Stream assignment. There were also a couple who submitted something on webCT but did not complete the assignment on Task Stream. As the intent of the assignment was to use Task Stream, I will not grade the assignment until it has been posted there. I took note of who submitted on webCT, but not Task Stream; everyone else loses points for being tarde.

We started PowerPoint projects last week and learned how to scan. The scanning assignment is to scan the "Statement of Own Work" that we will be adding to Task Stream. Don't forget that we will have a guest from Student Services, Credential Evaluator Robert Erichsen, who will visit on Tues and Wed to answer any application questions you might have about the paperless applications to the Teacher Education Program.

This week we will refine out PowerPoints and learn how to construct rubrics to assess the assignment.

DUE THIS WEEK: the PowerPoint assignment is due on Sat; the scan assignment isn't due until March 18! And don't forget to work on your journals.

This week's journal article: "Rubrics, Portfolios and Tests, Oh My!", which can be found on the ISTE website, publications, L&L: Volume 30, issue 8. It is in the "In the Curriculum" section.
This is journal number 4! Journal articles 1 - 5 are due on March 17!!
