Where the Pyramids made of Rubrics?

PHEW. . .I am now officially caught up with all of the grading so far. . .check for returned newsletters and log on to Task Stream to see my feedback. . .there were a number of generous graders out there who gave peer newsletters a 5 when there were problems that needed to be fixed. . .grading is not an easy task when creativity and personal opinions of the person assessing are involved. . .
However, for the most part, the newsletters were AWESOME!!!!! I published a number of amazing newsletter and could have published many more . . .if you need to fix your newsletter, you should be able to resubmit through the assignment tab. . .please don't email.
This week: Now that you have had some practice grading w/a rubric it is time for you to "play teacher" and grade your peers' PowerPoint assignments. Everyone should bring two copies of her/his rubric to class Monday. We will also be upload all of our assignments so far to Task Stream. On Wednesday, we will be introduced to Inspiration/Kidspiration and you will have a fun assignment getting to learn the software.
JOURNALS: We are on #6, which starts the second round of journal writing; however, they stay ON THE SAME BLOG!!! You can put the same link to your journals 6-10 assignment as you did for journals 1 - 5.
Journal #6: Comes from the latest issue of L&L, which everyone should have received by now. "Wikipedia: Ban It or Boost It?", by Doug Johnson. . .the first question you will need to ask yourself is, "What is Wikipedia?". . .if you don't know by nowÂyou should. . .we'll discuss this issue further in class.
Is everyone keeping up? Are you asking me for help? Are you asking your Peers for help (using the discussion board)? Are you working together? Are you coming to class?
I am convinced that if you just come to class, I can ensure that you can do everything assigned. . .if you don't come. . .not so much
