Blog Post - Week 7

Ideas for class

I have learned a lot this semester in NTI. I have thoroughly enjoyed every bit of class time that we have gotten to experience. I think the last class would be a great day to discuss what has really worked in our classes and what has not. We could also share ideas on how to make the next semester go smoothly and how to improve our classes. Looking forward to meeting again.

Unknown said...: Your idea of sharing ideas and planning for the next semester sounds like a good idea also. I suggested we select one of the projects from the team and try to create it, or act it out...depending on the project.

Will that be enought to last us from 10 to 3? It sounds like a wonderful idea, it seems like it will take us about 2 hours maximum to do that.; November 14, 2015 at 9:54:00 PM EST
