As I said before, my new classroom is more spacious and more conducive to keeping a laptop and projector permanently set up and accessible. I have been weaning myself off chalk, and instead I am typing all my class notes in a word document which I project and then post to the class website after class. It seems to be easier for kids to read typed notes than my handwriting. :) The overwhelming majority of my notes are just French and English definitions, so Josh suggested I make 2 columns and delete one column after each class so I don’t need to go back through and delete all the definitions individually.
The only limiting factor is my own slow, messy typing style and the fact that accent marks slow down typing a bit. I like the fact that notes are available online, but I don’t imagine that a lot of kids are actually accessing them. I would like to know how to check in google sites how many people have accessed a given page or link. I will probably also need to find a way to reorganize my website, as individual links to each days class notes are going to make the sites’ pages look long and unwieldy. Josh suggested just putting everything in a publicly accessible folder on google docs, but I haven’t tackled that yet.
