Day 23

Hint, hint ... people need to be working on their culminating activities.

In any case, life goes on.

As we do here ... we finished the presentations on a Social Service today and we started Unit Five ... I handed out the diseases for the presentations and got the due dates up for Unit Five ... the last unit in this course. If you can't recall or were absent today, let me know and I'll get you something on which to present. Lots of diseases out there to spread ..... the knowledge about...

The last unit in this course ... which means people are panic handing in random assignments from Unit One ... which is kinda funny, since I've already handed them back to the class ...


See you next year .... ;)

Might want to take a look at the course Culminating Activity again, man. Just a hint.

Peace.

Day 22

Ahh ... the last part of the course ... or in my case, courses.

It goes on ... the proverbial chubby lady is warming up ... it is almost over.

In any case, we did some of the presentations on a Social Service ... the rest will go tomorrow

TOMORROW. As in THURSDAY .... DAY 22

After that, we watched Cottonland, the NFB film.

Day 21

So yeah ... today.

We had a lot of stuff going on today - and we handled it quite nicely.

We read through Chapter 19 of the textbook and got questions on page 484 and 495.

I also asked people to tell me which social service they were going to do for their presentation.

After that, I was able to sit and show people their updated marks.

Yeah, that was exciting.

Day 19 and Day 20

Thursday ... was the First Aid Booklet day. I got four or five in. Yeah, own that.

Monday .... was day 20 ... Friday was, of course, a PD Day.

In any case, Monday ... we got in, I got two more booklets and then we watched the film Contagion.

After we watched the film, I saw this article ... talk about timely...

At the end of the film, I spoke to people about their presentations that they will be making by the end of the week. A lot of rather shocked people there.

Day 18

Words to live by

Review:

Don't tell me that my co-workers are "not that smart". You'd be surprised, I'm sure.

What did we do today:

We finished Unit Three officially with the Unit Test.

I collected some of the work in on time, but not very much. Makes it harder to mark later, if it comes in. Wonder why your mark is low? Hmmmm ... have you handed everything in yet?

Yeah, probably the answer.

I did show people their marks and let them see what it was they needed to hand in by the end of April to get marked.

I did also do this presentation on the Cycle of Infection, which for some was rather gross, and for some, something that interrupted their attempts to get a credit in another class. In any case, here is the Prezi:



 

Day 17

Ok, so I got the marks printed off and the IT guy came from the board ... good thing I backed everything up both on paper and on a thumb drive.

He's going to destroy that evil laptop. And it deserves it.

In any case, What did we do today?

We took a look at what we were missing from marked stuff and got busy on it. Except for some:

Face booked

In any case, we read form the textbook, getting questions on page 182 and 193 from the textbook.

Then, we worked and tried to hand in work. Oh, and I got most of the blogs to work and posted on this blog. Linking learning works. Trust me.

Day 16

It would have been nice to have a typical Day 16 ... alas, not to be.

It started off normally enough - with us catching up on work. We did the Task Two Case Study today ... it should have been something else ... but we got stuck for time and we're making due with what we got. So, we watched Beyond the Blues, a film form the National Film Board. The Case Study Questions were due by the end of class.

After break, we started on the course Culminating Activity - a blog for each student. I did collect the URL's for each and I will post them on here for everyone to see what others are doing.

Then ... the school laptop did ... not very much. I have the course marks on it ... and it kept crashing. Honest!

Better than Blue Screen, but not by much

Which means ... updated marks tomorrow.
