I thought my collaborative project with Stephanie was fantastic! We often collaborative together during the school day and I am very excited to be able to do this author study with our classes. I think I am most excited with our students becoming more and more comfortable with using the internet to do research and have discussions. I think we did a really nice job of building off of our instructional model. Students will have to continue to use the blog to have discussions but their use of the blog is a little more in depth in with this activity. Students also have to become comfortable with finding information on the web and using the blog to guide them to website allows them to have direction but still find the information on their own. This will be highly beneficial to my students especially as we do more and more with research projects in the spring time. The added bonus to working with Stephanie’s class so much is that there is a real sense of comfortable among the students and teachers. I am getting to know her students which help with transitions next year when some of them are in my class, and she gets to continue working with some of her from last year. They are already familiar with her style and expectations.
