Final Grades

Final grades have been calculated and have been submitted to the university via ASAP. You should be able to check your grade there shortly. The Grade Book on Blackboard won't be updated, as I copied all the information from there into Excel and then used Excel to calculate the total points. But if you have any questions or concerns, you can contact me and I'll be happy to provide with a breakdown of your grade.

I greatly enjoyed our class together, and was deeply impressed with all of your work. I can honestly say that looking through your blogs and projects is the most enjoyable grading experience I think I've ever had. Your blogs are fantastic ePortfolios showing how much you have learned this past semester, from summarizing and critically reflecting on theories and practice in CALL, to demonstrating your skills with a wide range of tools and programs -- blogs, wikis, rss feeds, Google Docs, Voice Thread, Inspiration, Hot Potatoes, HTML, digital video, Windows Movie Maker, and Glogster, and more.

Now that the semester is over, you can decide what to do with your blog. You can delete it if you like, or better yet, keep revising and adding to it, or at least let it stand as is, and keep it as a resource to go back to.

Blogger allows you to create as many blogs as you like under your same account. So I hope you'll take advantage of your new skills to create new blogs for your classes you'll teach, and/or for yourself to blog about your passions you started to address on your class blogs.

Good luck! I hope to have all you in another class! Have a great summer.

I stole this from Suzanne's blog, as it's a great summation of the importance of the course you have just completed. Good luck with your teaching of ELL digital natives! I hope this course has made you feel more prepared to meet their needs!
