Not literally...Ok, so I've been asked to write about what it feels like to be 'hitting the wall' here at MATSL this week. I'm not quite sure I understand clearly what this means, but I think that I get to vent my frustrations in some way...so, here I go...
I guess that the most difficult part of being a Matslista this week has been trying to keep organized with all of the collaborative projects that we are working on with different groups. It has been challenging to get everyone together to work on our tasks, but somehow we are managing (I think its the Wiki that's holding us together!)
Also, beginning to work on a Webquest has been quite an eye-popping experience--I had no idea how much prior planning and work went into building a Webquest. It's daunting, but I think I can handle it. I will need a vacation after these three weeks though...
Being a student (and a teacher) definitely helps to give perspective to the experiences of my students during the school year. I can understand clearly why some have a strong preference for either working with peers collaboratively or working individually.

Yes, you bring up several key points in your blog. The difficulty of working with two different groups. Especially when the French folks don't have any class time to work on the big project, this makes it even harder.
