Hot diggity. I was cheering for Atlanta, but how can a football fan hate an overtime Super Bowl game? (One that will likely spur the change of the ridiculous overtime format the NFL currently uses.) Anyway, ICT this week went well.
I won't lie, when I heard there was another speaker coming I was not very excited. I didn't want to be the one complaining last week but holy cow did I dislike her presentation style. She didn't let her colleague speak and all she did was read from the slides. Please don't get her to present again. This week however i found myself actually engaged as he explained Maple to us. I think that might prove useful by the way. I don't see myself relying on Maples groups for inspiration but it's certainly helpful as a tool when we're stuck. I was bothered by one aspect however. As he was addressing some of the early content on Maple (before he knew that we were a senior years course) he mentioned a number of planning guides set up specifically for K-8 teachers. It seems that there is so much more for early years teachers. Most PD days seemed to be geared toward them and now it seems a lot of online help exists for them as well. Why is there nothing specifically for high school teachers?
Admittedly, I am starting to get down with the social aspect of this blog assignment. It's kind of enjoyable keeping up with my classmates' blogs and I won't lie and say that I'm not pretty flattered to be included in some of them. When Sonya messaged me to ask what I had mentioned in class earlier in the week so she could quote me in her blog I felt pretty good about myself!
I've got a good amount of nachos left over from the game so I'm going to put some work into that before bed, but thanks for reading my weekly ICT (and NFL playoffs) update!
What - thee was a feetball game on yesterday??? I thought it was a Gaga show! ;-) Yes it does seem to be lots for EY - of course those guides did include grade 9 - that is SY (well at least one did!).
