New Teachers - Day 3!

Day three is all about grading and homework - oh and as always some tech.  Lynne showed how to use google forms and some folks even worked with scripts.

Our objectives for the day were to:

1. understand common grading issues
2. develop a grading philosophy to improve learning
3. develop homework policies to improve learning
4. investigate technology tools

Grading was the central topic of the morning and we probably raised more questions than answers - however the discussion was really beneficial.

Lenny also provided a good session on homework and a lot of information can be found on Lenny's Homework Wiki.

Jill led the group through a tech tool "smackdown" right after lunch.  People had two minutes to show a tool or strategy to the group.  
The following are some of things folks showed:
Remind 101
Glogster
Doodle
Edmodo
Evernote
Prezi

As always more can be found on The EIS Wiki.
