In class this week we got a refresher course from the school librarian and data bases. She also showed us Ref Works. I have used Ref Works in the past and I think it is a great resource for citing and keeping track of sources.
After that, Rachel gave her presentation and I really enjoyed it. I like playing games and all the questions she asked were relevant to the chapters. Also, the teams were broken up with boys against girls and that is something I have not done for a long time.
Next, we worked in the same groups in which we made lesson plans. We reviewed another groups lesson plans and changed it to fit a different proficiency level. My group had to change a lesson plan around in order to teach an American novel by a classic author to better suit intermediate students. That was not an easy task but I found that my group members are quite creative and we came up with a really great lesson plan.
I find that I am learning a lot from not only from the professors of the program but my fellow classmates as well.
Lastly, we got into our multi-genre project groups and discussed what our plans were. I am glad that my group decided not to do any genres electronically. I do not work well electronically and frankly it does not interest me. I like to create more artistic projects, however, I do see the benefits of electronically produced things.

I'm glad that you're learning not just from your professors but from your classmates as well. Your students will do the same :)
As for the multigenre research paper, our group also prefers to do something which is visually attractive. I believe those things will be just as effective as the electronic ones.
I'm also glad that we got that refresher. During undergrad, I don't think I went to the library ONCE to use a book or electronic source, I always looked elsewhere. I think I also missed the freshman library orientation like Dr Smidt!
