Abena Bailey commented on Abena Bailey's blog post FCC13_Design"Thanks Catalina. It is a loooong hashtag right? I'm a fairly latecomer to Twitter so hopefully I can be more concise with my tags in future.
For us, the language awareness part is essential given the range of nationalities and languages we have…"
Catalina Valenzuela commented on Abena Bailey's blog post FCC13_Design"I really like your proposal. May be we all need to implement a kind of language awareness project as OhMyEnglish to be reduce potential frictions.
In terms of your design I like the fact that you take your readership step by step. It feels…"
Abena Bailey commented on Susan Adams's blog post The Blood, Sweat, and Eureka of Collaboraton"This idea of protecting one's own achievement is something I witnessed very recently with some Y8/G7 learners. When we started as a class in September on a collaborative project, their learning blogs were filled with comments that indicated…"
Abena Bailey commented on Abena Bailey's blog post FCC9_Assess"Sometimes it just takes little steps to reach the end goal. At least your school is moving in the right direction and that is something to be thankful for at least. I hope it isn't too far in the future where such decision are in the hands of…"
Abena Bailey commented on Abena Bailey's blog post FCC13_Design"Thank you Susan. I really appreciate the feedback. The project itself is coming to an end with final edits taking place over the weekend but the learners have all worked very hard and have much to be proud of. "
Susan Adams commented on Abena Bailey's blog post FCC13_Design"While I'm writing you elsewhere :) I want to comment on your "Oh My English" video. What a brilliant concept! The video is very cute and I love the way it will get kids thinking."
Susan Adams commented on Abena Bailey's blog post FCC9_Assess"That is such an incredible philosophy!! I think a lot of our building administrators would agree with that, but there are others that don't. The philosophy is that a "filter" doesn't control blogs well - where anyone…"
Abena Bailey commented on Abena Bailey's blog post FCC9_Assess"Hi Susan,
We have virtually unlimited Internet access as we are a one-to-one school and our professional judgement as teachers is trusted. Also we believe that, as the learners have unrestricted access outside of school, it is more useful to teach…"
Susan Adams commented on Abena Bailey's blog post FCC9_Assess"Hi Abena, Trello looks like a great organizer. Do you have strong filters in your school? We aren't allowed to use sites that have open blogs. Are these limited to students?"
Abena Bailey commented on Xavier Espejo-Vadillo's blog post Planning Handshake with Sue, Abena and Helen."Great point Vicki. Start as you mean to go on :)"
Abena Bailey commented on Xavier Espejo-Vadillo's blog post Planning Handshake with Sue, Abena and Helen."I see someone has edited. Great! I've set it to 'comment only' now to prevent people stumbling across it and editing further."
Abena Bailey commented on Abena Bailey's blog post No Title"The final products for the project can be explored on this page. Unfortunately Google Sites does not allow comments but I will pass on any feedback I get to learners as appropriate. Thanks for looking.

In implementing the Apprentice project, I was more concerned with the final outcomes in a holistic sense and knew that I would be able to incorporate development on our Assessment Focuses (AFs) along the way. Perhaps this is not the usual way of planning (in a UK framework) but I believe that it is possible to incorporate many skills to a flexible…

My learners are currently working on a collaborative project of their design where they create a study guide for the novel Never Let Me Go. The aim of creating this is that they will have a custom-made, personalised revision tool for their literature examination, which focuses purely on what they need to complete the high-stakes exam task (GCSE).
They are using Trello to organise the tasks and contributors and so far, they have managed to make good progress. It has not been…

I was reading on your profile that you hope to start some collaborative projects. I am in a high school 9-12 grade in Colorado. After we feel like we know what we are doing a little more, maybe we can connect some classes
