Today in class I was really relieved to hear that today was a “catch your breath” day. I think this was beneficial to do because I am able to take time and revise and catch up on a few things. During the debriefing of discussion Chapter 9 I was able to learn some beneficial ideas for presenting in the future. Those ideas included using new tools such as Scriblink, assigning perspective to students, using tools that benefit visual learners and using the” five words or less” summary. The rest of class we were allowed to work on what we needed to work on. I worked on my iRLO and my Inquiry question wiki page.

2. We were reminded about our podcasting to make sure we are doing a SWOT analysis and not showing how to use the cool tool.
3. Sarah Jackson, Kara Halambeck, Casey Bahr, and Casey Moon presented discussion on chapter 9: What does It All Mean?
