Hey Suzanne!
Thanks for the feedback - you have no idea how much I appreciate working with you!! I love the idea of a place where students can share their information - be it observations or ideas for lesson plans and activities!! It's a great idea - let's do it!! It would also provide students with the opportunity to peer edit each other's work which I heartily support! Yes, I think this final project will be interesting and I am SURE we'll have to tweak it along the way - but hey - it's our first time with this class - we'll learn from our mistakes and the students! Ha!

So, do we create another forum for those discussions? I'm not sure how to do that - we could always create a blog for them too - I need your help with this part. I can always set up a group discussion forum for these discussions as well. What are your thoughts?

I appreciate your feedback on my venting incident. It is very frustrating at times and I'm usually an old softie most of the time but there are times when my softness can be more harmful than helpful!!

I'm happy to see you commenting to students in the forum - your presence and comments provide another perspective of the learning that is taking place! Thanks!! I don't always say everything I need to in my responses and you say it so much better than I do!! That's the English teacher in you!:))

Even though I'm still teaching high school I'm loving this first week of class and have actually been able to get in often throughout the day to read and respond to students!

Have you received my snail mail yet? Just curious.... Talk to you soon!
