My name is Lisa and I'm just now starting my On-Line (Teaching in the 21st Century) course which, presumably, started a week ago. My friend Lucy asked me if I'm an on-time person or a last-minute person and I told her I really don't know. In truth, as my participation in this course will undoubtedly reveal, I tend to be a fly by the seat of my pants person. And so here I am, blogging for homework. Thank Gd I know how to blog. As disappointing as it is to imagine a generation of kids who have grown up on screens and who now require an interactive stimulating screen based type of education, I am certain it will be helpful to learn to integrate such teaching methods into the classroom. At a minimum it could mean the end of sloppy handwritten and dog-eaten homework. Until next time....
(For anyone who is wondering, it's Saturday night here in Israel, though Blogger is using US time to indicate when my post went up).
