Website Update and Winding The Year Down


OK everyone, I did not like the hiatus from blogging our weekly assignments.  Maybe I'm just a creature of habit, or maybe I just feel more organized when I publish our assignments; either way, I did not like verbally ordering you guys around to do your work these past few weeks.  With that said, I've returned to publish your assignments online and guide as needed during class.  I believe we all feel a little more comfortable with this process.  The only difference moving forward is that I will allow you more autonomy on how to accomplish the tasks, as I will be more vague with my list of things to do:

  1. Personalized Learning Plan - For the remainder of the year, you will take the mini prompts, discussions, and other in-class assignments and populate each section of the Personalized Learning Plan as instructed.  We have addressed each section/prompt already in separate assignments/bell ringers, so now it's time to take that information and enter it into the document.  This is necessary for completion of this course
  2. Website/Online Portfolio - Please ensure your Weebly includes all the required artifacts from our WBL Checklist of Assignments
I know you're going to do an excellent job these last 4 weeks of class.  Looking ahead, we will be finalizing our websites, completing reflective assignments, and providing feedback/constructive criticism for next year's preparation.  I appreciate everything you all have done this year and hope you're getting the most out of this course!

Welcome Back After Your Last Spring Break

Well, the end is near.  You've completed your last Spring Break of high school and you're feeling some percentage of readiness for post-secondary life and some percentage of a desire to hold onto the last few weeks as a Senior.  Since we focused on completing our MB tests the day before Spring Break (thank you for doing that, by the way), we can resume our focus on initiative and self-direction.

I'm going to pass along your MB tests to be scored and you will see your results in due time.  Let's have a productive week!
