Final Question:
Oh yeah, and on a scale of 1-10, this was a -12... it took me like 4 seconds to get this set up. -Hannah
IPT assignment
Delicious Questions:
1. Create an account on Del.icio.us and add IPT286 to your network. Add IPT286 and av39 to your network. Save a link (from either user) to your bookmarks. Which link did you choose?
IP&T
2. Add the links of 4 different exemplars to your bookmarks. These exemplars should be within your subject area. What links did you add? I added:
• Examples of technology integration in technology
• Eye witness to history
• World history: hyper history
• Best history sites.
3. How could this website be useful as a teacher? How could it be useful for your students?
This gives many different resources for teachers to supplement ideas for technology integration and lesson plans ideas. These site are also great for students to search around on for report resources and homework supplements.
Remote Access Questions:
1. Pick some of Mr. Fisher's blog entries and read them. What are some of the ways that Mr. Fisher uses technology in his classroom?
He had a class wiki about early human life with a variety of topics to read about. He also had a classroom podcast which is an amazing resource (though would be quite interesting to do as a teacher… I love the idea but am terrified of the sound of my voice being recorded and broadcast ). He also made available math tutorial videos which is an AWESOME idea, especially for a math class to show the steps. Its gaining the information of an extra class without having to be in a class. This is brilliant.
2. What questions would you like to ask Mr. Fisher?
I would love to talk to Mr. Fisher about how he gets the students to access this site. I love everything that he has done and find it amazingly helpful (and I am sure it would be used in high school) but how does he motivate students to access this and use these resources without having to assign it as homework?
3. What did you like about his blog?
I love how inventive and innovative he is. Most teacher do not want to put the time and effort into all of this, but if your main concern is the student welfare than it is definitely worthwhile if only even one students takes advantage of if. He has so many different resources students are bound to find something to interest them on the blog.
Blog of Proximal Development Questions:
1. Pick some of Mr. Glogowski's blog entries and read them. What are some of the ways that Mr. Glogowski uses technology in his classroom?
Mr. Glogowski has a class blog, which I like, because he wants not only to teach the students, but to learn from them. He mentions instructional scaffolding and instructional conversation. Mr. Glogowski also talks about his blog and use of 21classes and how it is effective in a class setting.
2. What questions would you like to ask Mr. Glogowski?
Again, a similar question to Mr. Fisher, how do you get students interested and motivated to work this hard. A main concern is that students would make excuses about not having their assignments completed because of technological problems. I love what he does, and it seems that he gets his students very into these topics. I love that. I want that in my classes. But I also want to make sure this is something that they can handle responsibility wise.
3. What do you like about his blog?
I love that he uses real examples of his students work, and really explains how it was implemented. I like how he talks about how his findings work, and what he does to make it work. It makes things a lot more understandable for someone wanting to steal his ideas
Blogs in Education Questions:
1. What is an aggregator?
Aggregators are programs that gather your favorite blogs and present them in one, basic text format for quick review. Only those blogs that have RSS feeds can be read by an aggregator. Those blogs usually have a little orange XML graphic which links to the RSS feed. That is the URL you would input to the aggregator
(that was taken exactly from the site.)
2. Why would you want an aggregator?
This makes things easy, and instead of having to jump back and forth between web pages and bookmarks, you have all of the comprehensive information in one central location, keeping things very organized.
Blogger.com Questions:
1. What is a blog? Blog is short for “web log”. Basically anyone can make one about anything you want, and it keeps a log in chronological order of your entries. They can be public or private.
2. Create a new post on your blog that contains the answers to these questions.
3. On a scale of 1-10, how difficult was it to create your own blog and add a post (1 easiest, 10 hardest)?
