Assessments

SurveyMonkey.com
I am a huge fan of SurveyMonkey.com as I like the open-ended format that is available. In several other survey/quiz options I've used, the open-ended answer wasn't a possibility. I can see multiple uses for SurveyMonkey in my classes between the open-ended answer option and the analysis that is available for the results.

Journalism Classes
I really found a lot of value in looking at the two very distinct units concerning journalism. For a class that would seem to need a f2f environment, there are a plethora of activities that can be done completely independently and online. I really enjoyed finding ways to take Casey's class into the online environment.

Feedback
I've really enjoyed reading the feedback that everyone is providing to each other. Even when the feedback isn't for me, the ideas are ones that I can use and incorporate in my own course creations. The activities and feedback have provided me with some great options for my final project. I am slowly getting my project ready to go. I'm starting with an anticipation guide for my students. I will also be using a webquest that I've created. I plan on completing a taxonomy chart for my project. I have the beginnings ready to go and want to spend some time this weekend getting the project ready to go.

Thanks,
