<p>Each year, when the last week of school is fast approaching, I always find myself starting a "To Do in the Fall" list. I teach French in a high school for gifted students. This year, I really enjoyed Google voice for their speaking assignments - but there were a couple of times I did not even listen to the assignment because I ran out of time. I realized, when it was too late, that I should listen in depth and give extended feedback to 25% of them at a time, and at the end of the month…</p>
<p>Each year, when the last week of school is fast approaching, I always find myself starting a "To Do in the Fall" list. I teach French in a high school for gifted students. This year, I really enjoyed Google voice for their speaking assignments - but there were a couple of times I did not even listen to the assignment because I ran out of time. I realized, when it was too late, that I should listen in depth and give extended feedback to 25% of them at a time, and at the end of the month everyone will have had good feedback once. I realized my students actually need training in how to compose an email to a teacher, and in what a professional email address looks like. I finally acknowledged this year that Moodle is overkill for what I need, and instead of paying for my domain and hosting I'm migrating to edmodo. I also have teacher guilt: we didn't spend enough time integrating technology this year, we didn't incorporate enough culture. My "To Do" is starting to get full!</p>

<p>What are some things that you will do differently next year? What did you try this year that failed? That succeeded? How did you learn to tweak what you did this year? I would love to hear from the wonderful breadth of experience in this Ning.</p>

<p>Thanks - and when it comes for you, have a beautiful summer! We're out May 25th here in Tucson.</p> Successes with distance collaboration?tag:www.classroom20.com,2007-05-11:649749:Topic:137842007-05-11T00:08:32.440ZGinger Lewmanhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/GingerTPLC
How many of you collaborate on various projects with students in other schools? Are the children the same age or varying? What has the reaction been? What are your successes and/or "ah-ha" Gestalt moments?<br />
<br />
I've been dabbling with collaborating across schools with some initial success, but I'm not finding a lot of people who are "game" to get some action happening. I'd be interested in hearing success stories and any advice for getting the ball rolling.
