Plans for the upcoming class

What do I want to do/create in class this coming week?

I have no idea.

Seriously.
My "creative process" has begun in earnest this week. How do I know? What proof do I have after stating that I have no idea of what I want to do? I've been letting the problem stew in my subconscious for a good week! As a result I have been able to compile a general list of what I'd like to some day have.

*An easy to use, functional web area/presence: Ultimately I would like a place online that is easy to control, access (for all sorts of groups of people, and me!), easy to manage, and is user friendly. I hoped to be able to use the school based web area to create places for each of my classes to go and check on homework and project requirements and access resources. However, the web area was not user friendly for me, and anyone who wanted to access the information would end up with a screen full of tabs open by the end of the time they were done looking at just a couple of items. Also, it was horribly difficult to update the information on the pages.

*Something for use during the summers. During the summers, I have students reading novels and plays and writing papers. I would like something that I could give students access to for the summer where they could ask questions about their summer work, and other students and I could respond. Ideally, the conversations stay visible to the users so that if other students had the same questions they could just read the previous conversations.

*Learn all sorts of new Free-online-technologies! Applications such as Celtx and Audacity hold so much potential for their use in the classroom. I would love to learn about more of these type of applications and have a chance to play with them and incorporate them into lessons.

Beyond this, I will just have to see what the class entails, throw the new information into my creative subconscious and see what happens!

See Y'all Monday!
