I don't know a thing about wiki!!!

Day 3 - I am really liking wiki - it is going to be a great tool for working on this project.

Part I

I think that I am ready for class, but are my students? Sometimes I feel that I have to put on a "dog and pony" show to keep everyone awake - has education gotten to the point that we are simply handing out A's or that the students have an expectation that they should do a minimum amount of work and still get an A? What a dilemna.

As I enter the class, I see 20+ faces of all ages, gender, and color. Forget about creed. Usually no one is interested in the subject of children with special needs until almost the end of the semestesr. Will it happen again this semester?

Motivation is such a strange thing. What is the answer to this? What can I do to get students excited about wanting to be teachers. Is the Intro class a square peg trying to get into a round hole?

Part II Here we go - our journey into the unknown - case law can be so boring. I am going to have to figure out a way to jazz it up. Maybe have the students draw pictures to go with the case or come up with a mnemonic. Would that work? What does someone think?
