Blogs 2 and 3

Thanks to all of you who just posted. I noticed that the most recent posts come up first at the top of the list on the right hand side of our couse blog so you can read from the top down from the most recent to the end.
Some of you have done a great job researching infoworks, finding and posting statistical information about the demographics, the SALT survey results, and the school report (NCLB) of their school, and connecting what they see in their classroom (students' diversity, teacher's knowledge, methodology), to the concepts we have been discussing in class around Delpit, and others. once you have written Blog 2 (prompt 1), please consult the list of prompts on p. 5 of our syllabus and pick from prompts 2 to 7 which one you would like to address in your next posts. be sure to write the prompt you chose so that we can follow your thinking!
Please visit each other's blogs and comment this week! check out Ry's blog and read Jen's comment to him to get some sense of what it might look like...
The course only shows 8 followers (incl. myself) which tells us that 14 of us have not yet been on the course blog? No, can't be...Hope you visit by Wednesday so that we can share our thoughts!
Also, check your email for announcements,
Wow, that was a long one, see you next week,

More blogs 2!

Thank you Amy H. and Lisa for sharing on your first visit! It is important that you go and read each other's blogs so that you know what everyone else is doing, and how they are feeling. It helps you situate yourself as well. I look forward to more as school vacation ends this week. Remember to bring your tracking sheet, have your contact form filled in and leave the bottom part with your classroom teacher, and have your BCI with you at all times when tutoring.
As you spend more time there, I hope you are able to relate some of the concepts we discussed especially this week's "culture of power," and the many cultures of students.

Check out people's blog 2!

Kayla, Margeux, Lauren, and Arielle are sharing interesting info about their tutoring setting...
This is a great opportunity to check out and compare with each other's experiences!

Also please remember to add your first name in your blog name so that we can identify you easily. Thanks and have a great week-end,

Comments on blog 2

I missed seeing you all yesterday and I hope you took this opportunity to read, write and enjoy some hot chocolate! some of you have already posted their blog 2: congrats! I commented. Remember to post about your first school visit by tonite (thursday feb 11) 5pm. If you have not been able to visit, please post blog 2 asap...
We are still missing 3 bloggers at this time and I hope they get on the train!

Great Job!

Thanks to most of you who created their blog, posted a comment on our class blog, and posted a short bio on your own blog. You are now connected to our class blog. I am making a list of all the blog names and what student they are attached to since some of the names are not personalized and it's better to know whom you are addressing, and who's saying what!
I noticed that some of you created more than 1 blog in the process. please be sure to go and delete the unused blog. Follow the steps (Delete a blog) and be sure to NOT DELETE the correct blog connected to our courser (the one in which you have written your first bio/blog).

If you have not created your blog, you received an email message from me asking you to do so ASAP. deadline was feb 6 per syllabus!

Most of you may be starting volunteering this week.
In class this week, I will collect your contact forms.

For February 12, you are asked (see syllabus) to post blog 2 using prompt 1.
See you Wednesday at 8am!
