Exit Slip – 7/8

July 8, 2009 by mfn57

Five lessons that I’ve learned and will be taking back from Summer Institute to my classroom:

1. I’m not alone out there. There are friendly colleagues willing to lend a hand, an ear, or give supportive advice.

2. I need more creative writing assignments for my classes.

3. Some writing doesn’t need to be graded, it can just be discussed in class, for example.

4. I can now throw around lingo like “blogs”, “links”, “copy and paste”, “jump drives”, Ctr + a, and others with confidence bordering on arrogance.

5. Working as a community rather than “lone rangers” results in effective work.

Yeah!! You know techy words and how to use them. I love the fact that I will have things to read after the summer is over. I can’t wait to read what you post-the movies for my mind! You are an awesome writer. Maybe you will win that contest in the magazine!
