Thinking Page

At this point in the session we can pause for a moment and consider a few things:
  1. We are focusing on three tools and one searching engine to help us put together some instructional and practice types of activities online.
  2. This blog was set up backwards.
  3. We thought of what was the ultimate idea and worked our way around from the end product to the beginning.
  4. When using blogs this is a suitable way to proceeding, since blogs give us a chronological account of what we post on them. So the last thing we post is the first one everyone sees when we use the blogs.
  5. This way of proceeding also helps us with language learning plannings, whether for lessons or units. Knowing where we want students to end helps us build the knowledge, information, tasks and scaffolding to get there.
What are considerations can you think about of this way of considering?
