C4K3

My C4K post was more the teacher summarizing their week;however, I was able to get a lot from it. Each week Mr. McClung posts Lesson Learned which consists of the 3 main things that the students learned that week. This week Mr. McClung had the students help him decide what to include. I enjoyed reading what was included in the Lessons Learned. A of the lessons few were: don't make the Pope angry, Nutrisystem = lunchables for grownups, don't climb a tree that you do not plan to fall out of, don't go shopping cart jousting, and Silver Dollar City is where the creeps hang out. There were more listed, but those are some of my favorite. The students also created a Wordle that included all of their Lessons Learned. Lesson Two for the week was titled RAZalert = Fail. This was just a short summary of an alert system at the University of Arkansas called RAZalert that texts or calls students to inform them of bad weather. Lesson Two told about how the system sent a false alarm and the lesson that was learned by the class was that "apparently RAZalert likes false alarms".
I like the idea of a Lesson Learned post. Lesson One in particular allowed Mr. McClung's students to review and remember what they learned throughout the week. I think it is a fun and easy way to keep people updated on what is being taught in the classroom.
