So, I put together my google docs presetation for my homework..... but, I don't know how to link it to the MILI site??!. I missed the instructions last meeting and the tool/skill was probably also covered several meetings ago I am sure. The beautiful part about saving it on google docs is that it will be there tomorrow night and it won't be left home or on my desk at school stored in a flash drive!

I started using google Calendars to organize summer planning time for our DigMe 9-10 grade teaming. Then I started using it for organizing information for the two soccer teams I am "coaching" (having never played and after "coaching" last year still not knowing much about the sport I feel I must place the word in quotes) now and into the summer. I believe it will be a very powerful tool to organize projects for students.

Between the last two meetings and now I have worked with students on content blogs and wikis. For the responses to questions posed and the inter-student discussion I wanted the wiki seemed to be a better model. It was really nice to not have to take home any hard copies for the units I used thes with and the real-time feedback for the students was really motivating for them. My issue with it was/is that it must be kept up to date constantly and consistently to be truly effective. With my feet spread out between the paper chase and the digital realm it feels like I'm a contortionist at times. But, throughout the year I have moved closer to embracing fully the digital realm as I see the benefits to my documentation and to the motivation of the students. It really is a no-brainer, it is truly time to dive headfirst......
