280daily

I'm looking at having my students use 280daily to do quick writes in.  Amy Hansen is using it as a journaling tool for her son (she posted this on Facebook...).  You have 280 characters to say something.  So many of my students are wordy beyond belief, I'm thinkin' that this may help them organize their thoughts.  The downside is I would have no control over their posts, and, if I wanted to grade them, I'd have to visit 69 site...  It's a fun tool tho'.

Department P.D.

We are good to go for our presentation to the department on January 31st.  I thought we could use the blog to start listing the things we need to include so writing the handout will go easier.  Things like I opened another Google email account so my school mail account wouldn't be inundated with emails when students start sharing documents...
