Blogging is fun
Creativity is important

Group work is helpful
While challenging and time consuming, this course is fun!

3. How I will Apply what we’ve learned
Share assignments, homework, handouts, and projects through blogs and website
Use a class wiki for specific projects
Definitely PowerPoints (slideshare) and Webquests
Virtual, online learning assignments
(i.e. visit San Diego Zoo, etc…)
Help students develop study skills through graphic organizers, such as Inspiration and RecallPlus

4. How I would explain this course
Incredibly Interesting
Challenging
Time Consuming
Never Boring
Sometimes Frustrating
Always Rewarding

Sometimes I feel like I am learning a new language.
I feel confused, doomed, and like my mind is empty.
But when I figure “IT” out, I mostly feel happy and proud!!!

6. Good things about twt The course is fun, interesting, challenging
Dr. Smirnova is extremely knowledgeable
The course encourages the student to learn by investigation – to create our own experiences

7. What I would change about twt
Give listing of all assignments at beginning of course or on monthly basis.
