EDUC3325 - Week Eight Reflections

This was a transition week - as the students finished off their Web Portfolios and began their first group assignment - WebQuests.

Once again, I was impressed that all students in the course - finished their Portfolios. The quality of the feedback they provided each other with on this assignment was much richer this semester. I think this is due to the fact that almost all the students have been using their Blogs on a regular basis to relfect about each of the course assignments.

The students formed 4 groups for the WebQuest assignment with ease. The peer review component of the Portfolio assignment - really has prepared the students to work collaboratively to create their WebQuests.

We only had class on Monday night as I flew to Orlando, Florida on Tuesday for the Academic Impressions - Building Online Learning Communities conference. Randy Garrison and I facilitated 3 sessions for this conference. The associated PowerPoint presentations can be found on my personal Web page. The conference was located at the Hilton Hotel in Walt Disney World - right across from Downtown Disney. Let's see if I can share a few photos with you?
