Students always need more time. Especially with video projects, in which I gave them 3 reminders of when they had to have things due. I gave them reminders each class of where they should be at, what they should have done. Come due date, 8 students of 28 had them ready. Two more turned theirs in two days later. It frustrated me that I try many ways to tell them to get work in on time and properly done, yet they still do not measure up.
On the other hand, blogging has been quite successful with my students. My juniors worked hard and were engaged by the discussion and responses of blogging, though it was used more as a discussion forum.

I've enjoyed reading your Blog this semester.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice when people are up to date and current with their blogs...just look through the ITS list and Dawn must feel the same frustration as you... we have had reminders and deadlines...but not everyone has kept up with the to do list she gave us! :-)
