Is anyone else feeling overwhelmed and inadequate? I am. I have ZERO, the big, fat zilch for my telecommunications lesson! ARGH!!!!!! I was originally thinking of a virtual field trip, but now I'm not really sold on that idea. I usually think of myself as a smart, creative person...but this class is changing that! I'm in a stall pattern at work. I teach on a schedule where I see the kids only 3 times a quarter for 45 minutes each time...which is a bit different than in the past. I know how I should be teaching, they way I really want to, thanks to being an ITSer, BUT my schedule and stressed out teachers are throwing me for a loop. I end up doing nothing good with the students (and by nothing good I mean skill and drill websites...ick!) With weird encore schedules lately (shortened time of seeing the kids) and my being out, it doesn't make sense to start some big lesson...by the time i see them again, they will have forgotten everything. I'm just venting...not really looking for a solution....
Thanks!
I feel your pain! It is difficult to do any long-term open-ended projects with so little time. With only 45 minutes...it can be tough. What about some kind of internet scavenger hunt? Or digital scavenger hunt? Then they can post their ideas/findings/photos in a discussion board or blog?
