Hey, Brit Lit: Do you Noh what this is all about?

Let's see how smart British Lit are. As you watch the following video, fill out the first 2 columns of the KWL guide that I emailed to you.

Grades, now online. Applaud me.

A while back, Mr. Kabel showed me a cool little trick he was using Dropbox for: posting student grades to his web page. I thought it was a pretty cool trick, and I thought to myself, You know, you stunning man, you should do that yourself, yet it never happened.

Until now.

Click Grades at the top of the page to see what you're getting in the class now. Notice: These are not live grades—they're just whatever I've put into the computer as of yet, so if you see something you're not happy with, let me know by emailing me ASAP.

What is English II to do?

Rabbit Rabbit! Just wanted to leave a quick reminder to my English II students about what the assignments were for today:

1. Watch 'em: Take a few minutes to watch your classmates' videos from the Point of View projects. They're posted here, to my blog, and they're completely awesome! If you like what they've done, go let them know by leaving a comment for them!
   
   
2. Rate 'em: Remember, I need everyone to take that Group rating quiz, for each member of your POV groups (including yourself). Make sure you get this done by Friday so I can give you points for it by the midterm. Remember: be honest!
   
   
3. Test 'em: Lastly, go to Tiki-Toki.com, sign up for an account, and start playing around with this program. Even if it's just for 15 minutes, you'll become more comfortable with adding events in. Just create a timeline and add a few dates in your life to it, and practice using the Categories feature, too. Remember, we're going to be using this for the rest of the semester as your Final project, so the better you know it now, the easier it will be later!
   
   
   

That's all!

And so it begins... again.

I've written a number of blogs before, for a variety of purposes, but this time around, the purpose of this is to keep my students and the teachers of Taipei Adventist Preparatory Academy up-to-date with what goings-on of my classes and applicable technologies.
