ReplyDeleteI think this is a really great idea and hope that most of you take advantage of the facebook group. It's a great way to network, help each other, and most importantly complain and vent about life, school, and how our class keeps getting more and more boring by the minute. It's also a great way for all of you to keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteOne of my pedagogy instructors (yes, they put us through a whole lot of training before letting us anywhere near you guys) urged us all to pick one word to focus our teaching philosophies on. My word was community. Looking back at my own experiences as a student, the best ones always included a sense of community within the classroom. It's never enough to just be held accountable by your teachers. The best learning happens when you feel a responsibility to your classmates and colleagues and truly learn from them.
One of the things that I love most about this class is the fondness and respect you have for each other. It makes the classroom more enjoyable for me and hopefully does the same for you. I brag about all of you to other instructors because I really am so impressed with how attentive and helpful everyone is towards their fellow classmates. And I think that this facebook group is a really wonderful extension of that.
Now that I’ve managed to suck all the fun out of facebook and gushed on like a crazy person for entirely too long, I should probably get to the real reason I started posting a comment in the first place:
I would strongly advise keeping this group a closed or private group. If it’s an open group any one of your facebook friends can read not only what you’ve posted in the group but what everyone else has too. And I’m sure there will be plenty of times that you’d rather not have to worry about that—these are the things you learn the hard way. If you keep it private, Connor will have to approve and/or invite anyone who wants to be in the group, which can be a bit annoying. Another option is to make it open for a week or so and then close it once everyone is in.
Lastly, don’t worry, I’m not going to join the group!
Am I the only one who thinks Miss Ahmed should join the group?? haha
