I really wanted Bill to join our club next year. I did some "gentle" persuasion with him today and he said he is now "inspired" to join us next year!
GRADUATION!!! :-) Tutto finito!
23 Things ... oh I loved it :-) I was excited from the very beginning when Jennie told me what she is planning to do. This way of learning and gaining new knowledge is something that fits me the best - collaboration.
I learned a lot and I immediately started passing my knowledge to my 10th graders, and I have to say that I am sad that 10th grade is their final year of studying DT as I would love to share my knowledge with them even more.
I found almost all of the tools that we learned to be more than useful for me personally as well as for my students, I just wish I had more time to "play" with them. :-)
I wish for Jennie and Paul to find some time and start also "Advanced 23 things" next year. Thank you both for doing "23 Things" with us!!! It was definitely "Inspiring Trail of Discovery" for me.

I wish I had more time (and energy) to watch this video more then once. I will definitely try my best to watch it again soon. He definitely made me thinking about many things primarily about my teaching and challenges that I face with "95 and onwards generations". Coincidence or not but his talk about construction of identity, 4 C's and "Media by masses" came at the time when some of us from HS were trying to understand our year '95 generation - 9th graders and their construction of identity which is completely influenced by "Media by masses". I am impatiently waiting to see presentation of our 12th grade students research that they did on 9th graders and influence that internet and media has on construction of their identity and their reality.
I can see and feel that my students (MS students) are very open for collaborative production of their knowledge, I see them being very happy and inspired to learn by using many different Web 2.0 tools. This is something very natural to them, and I will do my best to prepare much more interesting curriculum for next year for them and follow their needs and facilitate their learning by using different tools and 4C's.
One challenge still remains - our '95 generation. How do we reconstruct their identity which is primarily constructed by games, celebrities and soap opera's?
