06 17/18/19WarmUp--GrokIt Signoff

Can you believe it--the last GrokIt!

GrokIt originally appeared at the end of last year. While teaching at RHS, I conceived it as the digital equivalent of the Do Now. Interestingly enough, I believe the blog has taken up a much more important role in my classes.

I envisioned using GrokIt as a hi-tech portal to get you and your energies focused on the class topics of the day by hyperlinking around the net to:
  • discover state-of the-art technologies
  • bump into some engaging topic
  • just enjoy a fun and interesting website.
My hope was to try to kindle a spark of interest in computers and technology.

After all, the World Wide Web and everything in it was created by software developers, computer programmers, web designers, all kinds of techie people of which you are the next generation.

I also wanted to create a class community, a public forum from which you could express your opinions and see the opinions of others about these topics.

I admit it was often difficult to find something interesting for you to view.

So I am asking your opinion.

Should I keep GrokIt going or should I come up with another way to get you focusing on your activities when you come into class every day?

Leave a comment!
