ECED 3000 Information
     * Checking class Bulletin Board for assignments and due dates.
     * Be sure you are working on Software Assignment and reviewing software at your practicum school.
     * Reminder for E-Books groups to prepare presentation for last class.
     * During these two full-time weeks with your practicum students, you should be teaching your TopicQuest lesson to two students and having someone observe and evaluate you.  Bring back the products from your two students to scan and publish on the Internet.
     * There are still 7 students that have not had their TopicQuest Lesson approved to teach.  Remember your lesson plan has to be approved by me before you can submit it to your mentor teacher for approval, before you teach your TopicQuest lesson.  The TopicQuest lesson, lesson plan, students’ products, and reflections are part of your final exam grade.  These students need to make all corrections, and email me to check and approve TopicQuest page and lesson plan.

ECED 3190C Information
    *
Information about "Analysis of Your Lessons" for your ECED 3190 portfolio
   * November 8-November 19 - Full-time practicum includes all day in the schools.  You are required to maintain the same hours as your mentor teacher during your two full-time weeks in the classroom.  (If you need to return to campus for regular scheduled class, be sure to have at least 100 hours needed in the classroom.)
   * December 1, Wednesday,
at 2:00 in room 81 to turn in practicum portfolios, videos, time sheet signed by mentor teacher, letter of appreciation, etc. (See Practicum Handbook for list of things to be completed and have ready to turn in.  I need everyone to turn in practicum portfolios and videos to check and give to your VSU practicum supervisor to check.)
