karenMc <P><FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=1>Just wanted to throw in a few comments about my class (that I thought I had posted about before but can't seem to find it here). I'm using a blog as an anchor for the class (</FONT><A href="http://www.bayareawritingproject.org/15"><FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=1>http://www.bayareawritingproject/15<;/FONT></A><FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=1>) since we will meet f2f at the most three times. The really cool thing, though, is that I had my students create blogs (see the right hand nav bar on the class blog). In these they are posting their weekly online journals and they will post the work they do in the development of (and the final presentation of) their major project, the </FONT><A href="http://www.bayareawritingproject.org/15/stories/storyReader$24"><FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=1>Multigenre Research Project</FONT></A><FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=1>. What strikes me is that most of these students have taken to the weekly online journal like fish to water. Their postings are long, insightful, conversational, reflective, and probing. These from the same people who groaned loudly every time I asked them to do a major reflection on their class projects last semester...it's simply amazing to me!</FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=1>Feel free to drop in and take a look around. I'll post more as we get some of our genres drafted (the student blogs are perfect for this...put up a draft and then people can add comments quite easily and quickly).</FONT></P>
