At the end of the last marking period, my students did not want to end. Of course it was the marking period that had the most delays and cancellations. This was also the first group that I used @Schoology with the entire time. When I told them that since the marking period was over, the course would be closing. They begged for me to keep it open to communicate with them and asked if I would post challenges to them.
I love that learning is not stopping even though the course is over. I told them to give me until after spring break (about 2 weeks) to get ideas together. The questions started coming in asking when the challenges would begin, to be honest I never thought they would want it. It looks like I will be spending some time looking for challenges that they can do and submit to me for their iPad. Maybe being the day of spring break at 3 PM isn't the best time to think of some but I don't know what to do. Any ideas or suggestions?
Being that I had testing last week, this was the first week that I have seen my iPad class. I decided that when we start a class each marking period, I am also going to bring the laptop cart into my room. It is so much easier to get +Schoology set up, change their pictures, and link their Google Drive all in one place. It took only 1 class period to get that all done. Pretty impressed with them.
Now to enjoy my Spring Break and think about these challenges.
