Holly's TIC continued
Maybe I need a new question! Maybe I could just collect data, follow the process of me, a non-techy teacher on a journey of becoming, to some degree, techy. I really want to do something with the digital writing workshop, but I haven't even started that and I still need to finish reading the book! I will be going to a session at NCTE by the author, maybe that will get me re-inspired to continue in this direction, or, maybe I will just create a question around the data I've started regarding my journey to becoming techy!!! Is that even an inquiry question? I could make it one!!! Any thoughts? Or... maybe this blog could be the nexus of my question! What happens when a blog is used instead of a face-to-face TIC meeting. How does it compare to a face-to-face session? What are the pros and cons? How effective was this tool for our purpose? How could I create a more efficient structure for this blog? Any thoughts? My project could be something like "How a Blog Impacted our Teacher Inquiry Community". Good thing I have time to get my question squared away!

Whew! You wear me out, Holly! I think going at the aspect of how a blog impacted Teacher Inquiry would be very valuable. Comparing it to face-to-face would be interesting because I have already noticed that I was more laxed in my project because I knew that I did not have to be prepared to talk in front of everyone.
ReplyDeleteOK...sorry...where do I find the emotions survey? OR do I add that to my post like Kenna did?
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of how the Blog Impacted the TIC. It might be interesting to do a survey to see how everyone feels about the blog and who would rather be face to face.
ReplyDeleteAll of your ideas are great though! I am excited to see what you decide to do!
I really like the blog question. Robin Johns was thrilled that you started one for this class session as she see TIC groups as very personal and somewhat secretive, if that is the right would, but by doing a blog, you open all TIC group to many more ideas and suggestions. So, that being said, maybe you could use data from past TIC group and how the dynamics change when a blog is introduced. I don't think you can totally get away from face-to-face meetings. We need those also. Talk to you soon. Cherié Baker
ReplyDeleteUsing Tech is exciting and exhausting all at the same time. If you used past years and present years, what would the question be exactly? What measurements would you use, surveys, etc. ?
