11/5 Hours 2.5 Comments Need to book lab for next Friday; will do this myself. Wonderfully productive session. Wow, you really got a lot done tonight. Your Moodle with the "The Color Purple" resources and Journal activity is just plain awesome.

11/12 Hours 2.5 Comments Working on document submissions using Moodle. Completed work to load onto Moodle at home and in class. Looks to me like this is a tool you and your class will get lots out of.

11/19 Hours 2.5 Comments Cannot load a 503MB television broadcast (but that's ok); cannot figure out how to assign grades to the journals my students have submitted. I am assuming I will have to set up a grade scale like Powerschool; will speak to you about this, Dottie. Looks like you are set with grade scale. Let me know how I can help with the video, we can put it up on the server if needed.

12/3 Hours 2.5 Comments Loved working on Moodle. Will continue to explore Read Across America and sending out my own inquiry for class sharing.

12/10 Hours 2.5 Comments Posted my invitation on the collaborations website; waiting for a nibble now. Sifting through invitations to collaborate each day on my email. Loaded my first photo on Moodle. Still puzzled by grading, but not frustrated. I really need to spend some time with the Grading, the scale seems to be the piece we need to investigate.

12/17 Hours 2.5 Comments Completed 2.5 hours on my own, working through issues with Delicious.

1/7 Hours 2.5 Comments Completed 2.5 hours investigating setting up a video conference with Wake Forest University, trying to bring Maya Angelou into my Honors English 3 classroom. I managed to find a contact person to inquire and sent an email but have not heard back from her.

1/14 Hours 2.5 Comments Completed work on Moodle designs for next quarter.

1/21 Hours 2.5 Comments I did not attend class but I did research more on the Tandem equipment and worked on drafting a letter of invitation to Dr. Angelou over the weekend. I also explored more of the options features on Moodle.

1/28 Hours 2.5 Comments Still trying to reach the tech guy. I have place a couple calls and left a message. Will try some more tomorrow. From the email I believe this is going to be doable. Still drafting the letter of invitation.

2/4 Hours 2.5 Comments Just checking in, see you 2/11 Completed overview of Prezi.

3/18 Hours 2.5 Comments Continued work from 4/1 to make up for this absence. Worked through all ActiveStudio tutorials.

3/25 Hours 2.5 Comments Explored google.docs; evaluated student PP presentations to load onto school website.
