Most of what I do in my classes is based on feedback from students over the years. I truly appreciate student's opinions, both positive and negative, and actually use them to make myself a better teacher and my classroom a better place to learn.

It was fun. And Student centered. And you didn't react like the other teachers and flip out with the new technology. Because you are used to it.
2. What are some suggestions on how to improve myself as a teacher and and improve my website as well?
Make Daily Blogs optional. Reason being if you are a like me and absorb the knowledge in class like a sponge, there is less of a point to daily blogs. And trying to write everything down becomes and obstruction. Try making them extra credit.
Thanks Bill!
1. History 360, learning about what is going on now and what has happened in the past
2. outlining what should be put into daily notes because I really did not have a clue what I was doing, so to help the future CWI students help them with notetaking
I really enjoyed your class. I liked how you played music every day when we got to class. I liked having laptops, it was easy to research for assigned blogs and presentations. I like how you explained things in great detail.
I think a good idea for next year for doing the daily blogs is to do them in a word document and post them at the end of the week, because during the time that we were presenting our Africa projects and didn't get completely finished with a group that way we can start on the word document again the next day.
What I suggest people do is to copy and paste there previous days daily blog into their current daily blog.
Thanks!
I am looking to revamp how I do forum posts next year. Thanks for the feedback!
I really enjoyed your class. I have had you since i was in middle school and i think you are a great teacher!
1. You are the first teacher that i have had that has group tests which i really like the group tests. Yes, some people free load but i really do like having people there and helping answer the question. Also i like how you do oral test because then you can try to help us as much as you can to get the question. Also i like doing the projects... those help me learn a lot by myself.
2. I think you might need to take things out to learn or just go over things a little more slower... I feel like we went over things way to fast.. But thats all i got that was bad! Oh and i think your website is fine! Its so easy to find things and i like how we do blogs because then that makes things so much easier.
I admit I go too fast, especially during the 4th quarter.
Thanks for the feedback Kjersten!
Class was always fun and interesting!
Less assigned blogs and faster internet!
Thanks but a tad brief.
