Great First Day!

I see this is an advanced group – so far your blogs look great! The content is right on the spot. I hope you can all complete creating your blogs by class time tomorrow. If you are having trouble, we will take time during computer lab to get it going.

When writing real world blog entries, a post should start with a grabber, something to spark interest - then a bit of development - and end with intended action, an opinion, or if you want to enlist comments, a question. A picture, link, or video adds interest. Remember you are not writing a novel. Posts can easily get too long. 

During our class, applications each day, for the most part, are connected with the topics of the day. As you explore the apps, think about how they fit into our topic of the day and how the apps can be used to enhance learning. We are connecting Marzano’s instructional strategies to the categories of technology presented in the text.

The first day was a great start - well done! I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
