I was truly sorry to have missed the last Wimba session with my group. I’ve felt disconnected with Wimba sessions due to scheduling conflicts with my children’s activities. It has been almost impossible to attend any of them at all during the course of this program. I’ve traveled back into time and visited the archives, and was so impressed by the presentations by my classmates. Specifically, Russ Gaspard, and Erik Holvig’s AR projects. I agree with Eric on the troubling issues of poor writing in the classroom. In our high school in the Bronx, our students are very low in writing. This is due to various socio/economic reasons as well as large portion of our school speaks English as a second language. Our principal has adopted a writing- across the curriculum program to try to help remedy the problem. Every subject must include at least two essays. It is a struggle for them, as it is for teachers like me (I’m a studio art teacher, not an English teacher!) However, practice is what really counts for our students.
As for my Final Presentation, my critical friends are still reviewing my work, and will hopefully get my final presentation reviewed soon.
