I'm back. Okay enough of the movie quotes. I feel one of the wireless nodes we placed in the school is malfunctioning. One room of laptops will only let a few students log on. I have contacted the disrict network administrator to bring in the group to check it out. Other than that, I helped a teacher with PowerPoint Jeopardy. It is working well. The students are having a good time with it and using it to review. I am finding out more and more the different ideas the teachers are using to help parlay information. By engaging the students, they will learn. I also spent a tremendous time working on embedded learning. A lot of teachers are completing the course. There is also some controversy with respect to Wilkes. Wilkes is now offering those teachers who did not take it for credit to do so by writing a paper. Those teachers who chose to take it for credit had a minimum of eight weeks to finish the course and are upset at the fact that others can get credit with a longer period of time. I do not know why Wilkes is doing this, but I do have my thoughts. See you tomorrow.
