Made my first grading rubric today. I look forward to using it in my next graded lab assignment. My students have made comments about that I am stricker this year. In reality it's not stricker, it is more organized because of what I learned this summer at NTI.
Funniest question from my student's so far is, "why do I have to read books to work on cars!"

FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).
This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!
Blog Post - Week 7
This past week in my own teaching I felt a little disconnected which prompts my question to you, "What was the moment (or moments) when I felt most disconnected or disengaged as a teacher - the moment(s) I said to myself, I'm just going through the motions here?"

For the past couple of weeks you have experienced asynchronous online learning (doing modules by yourself).

So what was your response to your students' question about having to read books to work on cars?
Would you like to share your grading rubric with the group by posting it on the blog?
Glad to hear that things are going more smoothly and in a more organized fashion for you this year.
That's hilarious about the "reading a book to work on a car"! One of my students asked me today why she couldn't breath out of her belly button since she could in utero. I about died laughing (even though I had heard the same question from another student about 2 years ago). Not to mention, I have a "belly button phobia" so the kids are rubbing it in!
Steve,
This is off the track, but I have a question. Do you have the pics you took this summer in class? Dr. J.
I told him that there is more technology in a car than putting the first man on the moon. Great auto technicians have to literaly be rocket scientists. I also told him would he want a doctor doing surgery on him if the doctor had never read a book. Those responses slowed his questions a little bit.
The grading rubric is at school. Today is Saturday. I will post it next week.
Steve
I will e-mail you the pictures.
