Moodles just keep getting better
This week I got worried about posting my annotated bibliography. I was talking to Emily about it and we wondered if everyone would put the same resources since we are all looking for the same information. I thought I better post mine early so it didn’t just look like I waited for Pam to post and then copy hers.
As it turns out everyone came up with a wide variety of sources and now we all have this wonderful compilation of research opportunities for our paper. I really dig this moodle thing.
I enjoyed Kate’s “Appreciative Inquiry: Using Personal Narratives for Initiating School Reform.” We have a similar questionnaire for the students here and I wonder how we are using the information. Michael’s article he found about social capital made me think about the way Steven Covey uses it in his 7 habits book. I can’t say it’s the best way to look at it since it implies that it’s some thing you would use later. I would rather think of it as something you would always build. Of course Pam kept us all honest with her thorough and well though out reviews of her articles. I wish I could see what her keyboard looks like. I’m sure the “E” is completely rubbed off.
I feel like I got a litter better picture of appreciative inquiry or at least a better idea of how it can or can not be implemented in the real world.
