Exit Slip #5

Took care of housekeeping. Found out we won't be assigned our peer reviewers until our next lab. Our presenters for the Rethink book discussed about the development of American schooling. We did an activity that looked at the different components that makes up the schooling and analyzed negatives about them and what we can do to change them. I learned that our system isn't a perfect specimen yet, that there's always room for improvement. We debriefed on positives and changes. Things I want to take away from their presentation that I want to remember for mine is to watch my audible pauses, be sure to speak up, to encourage deeper thinking with what we're sharing our peers, and make sure we know what we're talking about. We then discussed the iRLO assignment. This is another assignment in which we'll have to turn in a draft for. I found some more sites that I want to add to my Delicious account. We learned about Scratch, which is a program that helps develop interactive activities. I was intimidated about this assignment, but it looks like it's going to be really fun. I think I'm going to watch a video tutorial about Scratch so I understand it a little better. At the very end of class Dr. Boyer showed us how using Google Scholar is a beneficial source in looking for information for our inquiry question.
