Online Whiteboard

Today I added an online Whiteboard to my blog. It is a free site. You can save the files for later viewing.
In Dr. Bond's class today we discussed our instrumentation for our research projects. We also shared our Reflexive Journals up to this point.
Class always seems to go by so fast in the afternoon. I am disappointed when it comes time for to be over. That sounds strange but it is a such a positive learning environment. He continually models teaching strategies in the course of the lesson.
We did a five minute observation in the Den in class today. It was interesting to see all the different observations made during the time period. Attention to detail is going to be important.

New ideas from Dr. Bos's class on Marzano

Ideas from class today's class discussion concerning Marzano

• Spelling HW Bingo for each week - Great Idea for my class
  
• Jamie - points per assignment but have to get so many each week.
• Stacey - bingo sheet with multidisciplinary activities
• Cornell Notes by Avid
  
• Purpose of homework with parents at beginning of school
• Need to go back to mind-maps in the class or nonlinguistic methods in the class

Great conversation today over methods and uses in our classrooms. We can learn so much from each other.

Reflexions

I have been given an assignment to start a Reflexive Journal? Give me some input on what a reflexive journal is? Please give examples of how to keep it? Give a definition?
