We talked about Cambodia and one of the questions was (an excellent one), what do teachers need to think about if they are doing an over the web collaborative project with a classroom in the developing world. The question forced me to reflect on my experience last summer.

So, expect to see regular reflections on good instructional design and delivery for any topic, but especially digital technology and social media related.

I had a wonderful break – filled with fun, family, walking, hiking, reading, quiet, and reflection. One annual ritual is to create “To Do/Not To Do/Reflection” notebook where I use modified bullet journaling to track my progress. Happy New Year ! How about you? I write down stuff I won’t do, a “no thanks” list.

In reflecting on the sample, I’ve made some broad reflections on museum workers and visitors. But, while adjacent, museums differ from formal classrooms in numerous ways.

If you think back to your time in school, you’ve probably experienced this type of assessment in the form of a group project that ended with a peer evaluation in which you rated each of your classmate’s contributions to the group. In the continuing education context, a great example would be online discussion boards.
