I arrived in class on Wednesday evening a little frazzled after a crazy day with 32 kindergarteners in my PM class(who got to experience a fire alarm right as they were arriving at school) and attending a professional development session on the new Google format for our class web pages!
Class provided interesting stimulation through interaction with others in the class and the overview of the class as presented by our esteemed instructors. The DRIVE video provided a lot of information and was extremely entertaining. Boy can he draw! Motivating others whether it be students or employees in any profession is a challenge. I found it interesting that most people want to work toward mastery of a skill. I think our job then is to provide the tools needed by each individual to assist them in reaching their goal(s) of mastery. The question is how do we know what tools they need?
Week two of the school year begins tomorrow and I will have only 27 kindergarteners-t wait to discover the tools they need to a hive mastery!
Marci, I'd love to hear more about building a website using google... that sounds great. I also agree with you about the guys amazing drawing ability, it was a treat to watch, read, and listen to his story. ~Pat~
