Procrastination

Procratination...I seem to procrastinate when the task seems daunting.  I have heard so many seasoned Globaloria educators say "Don't put off doing your Quarterly Report - especially the first one....".  Soooo, August 11, the day we finished our training in August, I drove to school and got a list of my globaloria students.  That night I added all their names, and required information (that I had) into the Progress Report.  I was so proud of myself, I was NOT procrastinating.  But then, did I follow through?  Nope, not until last week, when I realized that my rolls had changed dramatically and I had to redo a large percentage of my quarterly report.  Arg....

I think that the first report will be the hardest.  Now I have all the student information added....but I am sure that, like anything, the report can be improved.....

This quarter my goal is to keep better track of the time I spend working on Globaloria, keeping my Learning Log up-to-date, and blog more often!

Let the games begin...

As the classes begin I am getting more excited.  I was concerned with how the "kids" would react to all the wiki editting and blogging but I have to say that I have been impressed.

 I remember when we were in class last July and we created our wiki and were then told to "personalize" it and I had no idea what to do. I felt stupid and helpless and I was worried about how my kids would react.  I walked the kids through looking at others' wikis and cutting and pasting and making it their own....and they ran with it.  I had to help a couple of them, but the majority went crazy with it.  When I started looking at their wikis I was so impressed.  These kids are doing great and are definitely going to teach me a few things!
