Today in class three students held a class discussion on Chapter 5: The Seeds of a New System of Education from the Rethinking Education text. I thought they did a really great job with time management and their activity was well thought out and organized. They also did a great job moving around and interacting with us during discussion. I really got something out of their discussion and felt like I learned something. The only think they could have improved on was more commentary on group responses, but I think because I noticed this when I present I will really try to remember to provide deeper commentary. Overall, I thought it was the best class discussion held so far.
Next in class we talked about the iRLO project involving Scratch. I was very relieved to know we would be learning more about the site from Professor Boyer because I kind of still felt lost. After downloading the site Boyer showed us how to create "Sprites." What I thought was really cool was that you could import images from online or from anywhere and make them "Sprites." I'm excited to start browsing the net for images to put into my Scratch item. After we got through that area on Scractch, I'm not going to lie, I kind of was lost. I'm also kind of overwhelmed right now wondering if I'm going to be able to do this assignment. I plan on going to Professor Boyer with help and questions though.
