SI 2006 Ending
Well, some more time went by with out me blogging or reading about blogs or even deciding how to incorporate blogs into this upcoming school year. I guess it is a really good thing that I don't have to start that school year for another month (plus a little). However, I have decided that I may try a Wiki in precalculus and that I will use blogs in Psychology and English IV.
I just finsihed a few days with the CWP SI (Crossroads Writing Project Summer Institute) group in Traverse City. Tonight is the Celebratory Dinner (not celibatory---we are celebrating not being celibate). It was (as usual) a life changing event for the participants. I wish I could have been involved earlier; they are a friendly group. It was fun to observe another group and the strong bonds they formed so quickly.
Today discussion was had about those bonds while we went to eat. SI is a great way to increase your friendship and colleague pool. We all can use a few more sympatico people in our lives and SI seems to provide a good place to find those additions. I wonder if it is the nature of the program or the people who choose to participate.
Next week I present a workshop about Blogs to the first annual Advanced Summer Institute (who will be asked to respond to this or another post). I look forward to the writing, sharing and most of all, the fun that I know that week will bring. I also look forward to some feedback on my presentation. We (the advanced institute participants) are hoping to develop "shows to go" and I am hoping mine might be nearly ready for some where.
Well, it is nearly time to head for the dinner and the capstone event.
