I love the way we always have a number of posts related to the session the day before or the up coming session the next week in our G+ community. These add another layer or depth to learning or reenforce what has already been learn/covered in the sessions.
With the holiday concert season in full swing I know I will be going back in the next few weeks to see what I missed and re-reading many of the articles posted in greater depth or with a fresh eye and brain. I find it interesting that at times you can post something and no one will respond to you at all and then the next day a similar article will be posted and 4 or 5 people will reply. I think it is just a reflect of how busy every one is with work at their own schools and it seems like folks seems to take a break at the same time. I still try to eek out a few minutes every day to at least check in on my phone and read.
My personal favorite contribution that I made this made for the week of this assignment was post the video "This Will Revolutionize Education" from YouTube.
So make connections with students to engage them, because all the shiny technology in the world will not mean a thing if you forget about the student sitting in the chair in front of you.
