We walk into class, and Matthew immediately starts to tell us a funny story, explaining why he's not quite ready for class. It is the first time I had heard a Matthew story in about 2 years!
The rules for the week have been laid down.
- Balance
- Where & When (would Matthew be okay with that?)
- Try It
- Safe & Smart
- BE ON TIME
By 9:30, we have the computers out, and we are all making Gmail accounts. My computer number is 8!
At 10 we all started to blog! Matthew helped everyone set up a Blogger web blog. We are going to use them this week for reflections and such.
At 10:25 we have our mandatory no computers allowed break. We have to be back by 10:45 sharp!
We blog until lunch, working on customizing them, then all of the sudden it's time to eat!
1:00, we are in Matthew's room, and we watch 2 videos from TED. Then Matthew asks us to answer three questions on our blogs.
- What we want to learn about this week.
- What our summer plans are.
- Wild card! Write about whatever you want!
Those questions are answers by 2:45 and we go into Matthew's room to watch more videos.
The videos are:
- Blogging in plain english. (a very cool video that explains what blogging is, why we have it, and why its so cool.)
- Twitter in plain english. (by the same people, it explains what Twitter is, and how to use it!)
We spend the rest of class learning about Twitter, and setting up accounts! Very fun, and very easy!
My favorite thing that we did in class today was watch a video called SHIFT HAPPENS. I recommend you watch it.
