What a great day. I was dreading working in groups and trying to create something totally new with an unfamiliar program. However, my teammates were amazing and I had such a wonderful time that may be I should be working in elementary ...
while Clicker and ClozePro do not have a great deal of application with the students I currently work with, I can see how these applications would open doors to students who are struggling at other levels.
My case study has bumps and pitfalls. One of the students has disappeared to have dental surgery, and another has become so depressed she can no longer some to school. There have been roadblocks and dead ends and eye rolling on the part of my colleagues (as well as some very positive comments) and I often feel like I am swimming upstream in a spring river. All of my students could probably use support, as they are all here for the second (or third, or fifth) time. One girl I taught to make voice notes so she couldn't have to write out her answers, and she was so happy: she can do work without asking for help,. and she is much more focused.
Baby steps.
But I am getting disheartened.
