This week I found myself stuck going round and round with the assignements. My group is less than responsive to requests for meeting and in fact we have only communicated via the discussion board. I have attempted to set up meetings several times, but I don't get much feedback. My weeks become progressively difficult to manage as we go into spring with my job requirements. I generally do not like to do work at the last minute with groups because I feel like we rush and do not work through all of the detail. I am hoping to get a response from them shortly.

I like the idea of a Webquest and I have taught this concept to our faculty. I am hoping to learn some new ideas!

This is my first journal post for Technology in the ESL Classroom-ETC559 at NAU. I am a bit uneasy with taking this class as I am not an ESL teacher, but work in a high school where 1/3 of our students come from a Hispanic background. I think learning techniques and stragegies which might benefit our students will be important. However, my lack of knowledge of ESL curriculum might be a hinderance.

It seems like we have a great group of students this semester and I look forward to learning from them.
