Day 7: Transition to Wimberley
We finally made it at 10 PM tonight. The drive was easy enough: Jason, Caleb, and I spent the first 2/3 amusing ourselves with our bickering. Then, Caleb regaled me with tales of his adventures in the Newark airport and of his latest role-playing experiences.
We were supposed to arrive around 4, but the first time we left CC around 12:00, the now-familiar thumping of a blown ignition coil had us doing a U-turn at the Selena statue. We returned to Mimi and Pop's house. 5 hours later, we would pick up the car and try for Wimberley a second time.
We blew an ignition coil 6 months ago just outside of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. We expect this will happen again and again until all coils are blown and replaced.
We arrived at the Wimberley House where Mum, David, Tad, Constance, and Nathan were watching Indiana Jones, which was being projected on the wall of the house outside. Cool!
The Wimberley House looks awesome! Thanks, Pop and Connie!

Summer Roadtrip, Day 1
Thankfully, Willow, Jack, Jason, and I passed a calm, dull day of driving from Carrollton, GA to Layfayette, LA today. It's my birthday, you know, and I'm 32 now. I got to talk to Lyrica on the phone today. My mother called, but Jason answered while I was driving and listening to a podcast on the expanding role of the librarian. For supper, I chose a Mexican restaurant called El Tequila. On my 10-scale, this place got a 6 or better. On Jason's 10-scale, it got a 2.5. He kept insulting my birthday dinner, so now I get to have a second birthday dinner. Here's a picture of me with my monkeys, trying to enjoy my dinner, in spite of Jason.

So Much for Me and Blogging!
I am a lousy blogger indeed! I told my students I'd be posting to this thing every week of class. So, that means I should have almost 9 postings by this time. And I have maybe 4. Oh well, I'm here, right? I believe this is my 5th posting. I will do better.
So, what's going on with me? Since this blog is supposed to be about the instructor reflecting on behind-the-scenes kinds of things, I will remember to focus on those things, rather than tell you about the acorn that was lodged in Baby Jack's nostril a few weeks ago, or the pink spots that showed up on Caleb's white showchoir dress-shirt this week (he's learning how to do his own laundry--we've all gotten reddish pink stains on white shirts, eh?). No, I will focus on instructional things.
Well, I am still grading students podcasts. Luckily, my students have been giving me really worthwhile things to listen to. I am really impressed. I am always both proud and (admittedly) a tad bit jealous when I realize my students have surpassed me in terms of their technological abilities. But, alas, so it goes with technology teaching. I think that the next time around, I am going to narrow the assignment guidelines for the podcasting. This time around, I allowed students to podcast about whatever they wanted. And, I still believe that allowing student choice is important for this assignment. However, I will be asking that they be a little more involved in the planning of their podcasts. For example, simply reading a book won't make the cut next time. They will still be able to read a book, but I would like to see more reflection or discussion or some other audience-centered techniques to pull in the listener.
Also, next time we podcast, I must include a how-to-publish piece. It's fine to learn to podcast, but a large part of what makes this medium special is how do we share this with the world? I am going to belatedly provide this to my students this semester, but next time around, it will be an official part of the up-front podcast presentation.
I have just launched the Group Wiki Project, and while some groups have hit the ground running with it, I suspect that others are stalled out. Perhaps they don't know what to do. In the next several days, I will be pestering them into action, if needed. I look forward to hearing about the students' experiences with this project so I can determine its overall merit for future classes.
Well, I must get back to my grading. And once I've completed the podcasts, I will allow myself a small repast before moving along to the Website Evaluation assignment. (Then on to the Blogging Report and so on....)
Oh, and I am excited because I have decided that I think I will design a webquest that teaches my students the expectations for the big, culminating Lesson Plan Unit. Oh, they'll be so pleased!

An Exciting Blog Shift
Interoperability is important to me. With so many tools out there, it can become quite a headache to constantly login to all these separate interfaces. Google, for better or worse, has interoperability to offer me. And for this reason, I am moving my blog from Wordpress over to Blogger. All I have to do now is sign into my Gmail or any other Google Application I'm working in, and voila, I am signed into Blogger with astounding ease.
So, henceforth, all of my blogs will be here.
To read my first two blog postings from Week 1 and Week 2, visit Kimquat Korner (I didn't like that name anyway, and once you pick a name, you're just plum STUCK with it.)
