My Presentation to The Bishop's School Faculty

I made a presentation of my ARP report to The Bishop's School last Monday, Dec. 6. After that I have received very positve feedback from some colleagues.

I wanted to find out from those colleagues what they liked about my report. It seemed that it was not about the tech. It was the ideas of student's interraction and collaboration that played an important role in student's learning. The technologies were only the tools that could enhance the students' learning. Here is one colleague's feedback.

Dear Xing,

I really enjoyed reading your research report and listening to your findings today at our faculty meeting. You have inspired me to revisit the way that conduct my own grammar lessons to see how I might modify homework and in-class assignments to include collaboration. My tenth graders as a group span a full spectrum of skill level. I like the idea of utilizing the status of all students to enhance learning. I am about to look at the Tapped-In website to see how I might be able to do this. Thank you for your insights!
Sincerely,
Katie Rettaliata

Some more ideas on questions which might expand this blog and help the reflection go even deeper: what did you learn from this feedback. How did you feel about it? Why do you think they had this reaction? Why do you think they liked the collaboration?
