Almost done
I am almost done with my video. When I first explained how in the real world we work in committees, the students looked frozen. It was like they was either afraid of working for real or not sure of what I was talking about. So I tried to simplify it a little more. They liked the fact that they could work in groups, since we have not done a lot of it this year. I saw how the partner groups worked well, and the "trimember" groups worked okay. I may have too much anxiety but have to wait to view the video to get a better grasp. Tomorrow I will be taping the class in in "ability based" groups. Hope eveyone had a good weekend. Going to root for Butler, still can't forgive Duke for beating UK back in '92.

I like that you made this real world for the kids- you are right so often in the work place we do have to work with others (as a matter of fact teaching is one of the jobs where you do tend to work on your own- although not as much anymore). I am eager to hear how the groups all work and the different configurations- make sure you reflect on each and what works for them and for you! I am a Duke legacy (dad and grandad) but I do have to say the whole Butler run has been fun to watch so I think I am pulling that way- not sure I can make the late night though- enjoy!
