Nevertheless, I have learned from my failure. I had a good idea, I think, and it fits into the SAMR model (though last year I think I was hovering around the Modification point), but this year I have done some more research and feel better prepared. I have even spoken with my colleague, Sergio, who uses Weebly and we have agreed that our students can create a separate page for my course on the Weebly site he had our students already create. That way our students have less to keep track of and will perhaps see a connection between their courses. (It’s always nice when you can do some collaboration, right? And who knows what possibilities this will create for us in our courses!) I'll keep you posted on the trials and tribulations of this new experiment. I fully anticipate that it won't be perfect, but I know I will learn from it as will my students. And who knows? Maybe they will get the bug to go above and beyond and make their own Weebly site dedicated to what they're interested in. I know my students already have a pretty good mentor for that kind of work. ;-)
Cheers,
Lesley
