C21 Session - October 3, 2006
I want to comment that generally speaking I am feeling much better about this whole endeavor and CAN keep a handle on things. Just need to really THINK about my priorities, where I want to go first with all this and what to approach or start first. Change takes time as I know all too well after being in education this long. My Masters program really helped me to begin this process some five or six years ago. New approaches, new ideas, etc. etc. How fortunate that the activities and research that we did in our Masters class all relates to Century 21 - exciting!
After hear Tony talk about grades last year, the thought of making major changes to my grading was a bit overwhelming. However, I have been mulling over and thinking about my system of grading ever since. I do believe now after hearing Tony AGAIN that I can make meaningful changes that will benefit my students. This IS all doable!

Hello Joan,
Aaahh, 21st century skills, the 21st century learner...
As I work to develop an online school for DC, I find more than ever I rely upon the problem solving skills my training in art has provided.
As you know, color on a canvas provides immediate feedback to which the artist may respond.
The world of blogs and wikis is much like that... thinking out loud, immediate feedback, processing and responding in a rapid fashion - like is necessary in working with water colors. While, oils on the other hand are more forgiving and provide the artist time for contemplation.
The Web 2.0 arena gives us both :)
