Week 3
Please email me your self assessment .  A template and example were given last week in our blog. 

I would like to change the due date for our Bloom/Gardner Grid by one week.  We had three videos last week instead of five.  This means 6 will be completed this week.  I believe that is too many to comment on.  We will comment on three presentations this week.  The last three will be a part of next week's blog.  This will put the Bloom/Gardner Grid due March 11.  So you may have rushed to complete your vodcast (ahhhhhh! It is done) but you have an extra week for the Grid. Sorry for the last minute change but most people do not mind an extention!!

Assignments
Due March  11– Bloom/Gardner Grid
Please use the attached template.  Chose a unit of study that is broad enough to think of many activities to teach. If you have already decided on a capstone, try to use an area of study related to your capstone. Fill in the squares using an activity that meets both the multiple intelligence and the level of Bloom’s Taxonomy in which it intersects. A sample has been provided.  I expect 90% or more of the grid to be completed.

Welcome to the second week of class. We will not be meeting in class this week.  I expect by Thursday afternoon (Feb. 18) all the assignments from the first week completed.  Please remember the sooner you post on the discussion board, the easier it will be for everyone to reply to each other. Please let me know if you need ANY HELP at all, clearer instructions or just a friendly voice to chat about the class.

Multiple Intelligences
Please watch all the videos by our peers about the Multiple Intelligences presented this week.  These videos should be posted by Thursday evening. On the FaceBook Discussion Board, please make a comment on each video.  Share something you have learned or found interesting about the video.
