What we did in Class:

Video of the Day (check the Ning network if you were absent)

1. Individually each student shared something interesting about his/hers experience from the sudent observing that was done last week. Indivdual observations ranged from broad ideas such as how quickly each class period was, to how disrupting students can be (in this case a shoe was thrown across the room and nailed another student).

2. Students were then broken up into their groups based on the school they visited. Mr. Woj encouraged groups to discuss the classroom environment the they observerved as well as the classroom instructioning style.

3. At the end of class Mr. Woj brought up a Cmap for the class to suggest ideas in which to build upon based on your new found observations. Students used what they observed to give new ideas for the Cmap.

For next class: (In the WEB) P.S - Don't forget about your Chalk and Wire, which needs to be purchased in the book "store", otherwise known as the clothing store right next to the Coffee shop in the UC.
 * 1) Based on your experience, prepare a "quick start guide" that lists five suggestions that you'd share with fellow teachers using the information you observed in the classroom.
 * 2) Include evidence from your classroom observations and items discussed in class.
