Question: Would Rip Van Winkle have felt right at home in your classroom this past year?
Answer: Unfortunately, Rip Van Winkle would have been comfortable in my classroom. During his long sleep he would not be far behind in my technological skills. I am sad to admit that I have continued lecturing and directing the classroom as I was taught with the exception of a few tweaks along the way.
However, during my class of interact this summer, we have been taught several modes of communications with our students such as teleconferencing, blogging, edmodo, and twitter just to name a few. I cannot wait to illustrate some of the new and exciting plans and lessons which I have created for our classes. We will teleconference with other English classes and compete with them with the new games that I have in store for you. I will get back with you for more updates.
Rip Van Winkle needs to find another home which reflects the past!
We still need to see if we can check out the video conferencing devices from technology. Otherwise, I suppose we could use Skype.
