the dusty road ahead

Or, looking out the window, maybe it's the snowy road ahead. Whatever it is, we're definitely on it now, so let's make the most of it.

Here is a recap of What We Know:

• Juniors have Course Information Day tomorrow.
• Sophomores are discussing final issues in The Grapes of Wrath tomorrow and Friday (and then we hope to be finished).
• Drama students are working on their monologues.

About the boards:

After listening to everyone, I have come to the following decisions:

• I'm closing all old boards, leaving only current ones available.
  
• I'm asking you to alert me via board IM if a board seems to have passed its useful life.
• I will make an effort to split the two E3H classes at least once as an experiment.
• I am going to combine the wikicabulary boards.
• I will try to remain far more on top of how the boards are being used, participating when needed but staying out of the way if discussions are going well.
• I will try to give you a "heads-up" if your posting is weak halfway through a posting period.
• I am going to try to pump up the use of wiki boards, starting with the fact that there is now a Word of the Day here on the blog to add to discussion on the new combined Wikicab boards.
• We all need to remember that it is not the number of posts that is important but the quality of the discussion. Number is only important insofar as it helps to foster that conversation.
• I will continue Post of the Day, which I began last night.

Look also for the new link on the right: Midterm Evals. It contains your thoughts (and my reactions). It will be there before I leave school today.
