I thought it might be good to link to the presentation and other documents we viewed in the first class. As we progress through the course I may not post all links here but will expect you to go directly to Google Docs or Google Groups to interact with documents.
Since you are already in my blog look right and click on the follow icon and become a follower of my blog, I'll do the same for you (once you give me access). While you are at it enter your email address in the place provided so you will be notified each time I add to my blog. This may be annoying but you won't miss any tweaks to assignments or projects.
OK, here are the links to things you viewed in class tonight:
The presentation
Projects and Assignments
The Class Collective Reading List
Naming Conventions
Before the next meeting (Wednesday April 13) complete the following:
1. Start your blog... remember at least one entry per week. One of the entries this time will be a reaction to an ISTE article found here: ISTE | Digital Edition March/April 2011
Choose an article from the table of contents related to your field of study or interest and write a review of the article aimed at your peers in the same field of study. Post a review on your blog. Add a bibiographic entry for the selected article on our Class Collective Reading List in Google Docs.
2. Read and react to my blog entries. Explore my gadgets and links, become a follower, enter your email address to receive updates when I post a new blog entry.
Happy surfing, browsing, viewing and reading... try to make some sense of this stuff related to what you do in real life.
Thanks for making the course more "student-friendly" by providing early and advanced notice of all the different technologies we will be introduced to and learning. I am looking forward to trying my wings at using some of the tools for my kindergarten class, my communication with student families, and with other teachers in my building.
ReplyDeleteOk, so at first, I really thought like, oh I'm going to be overwhelmed. But you know what? You had me at "Happy Birthday" with the muffin :-) I'm looking forward to the things I'm going to learn. In a matter of minutes, I've learned about xtranormal, wordle, google docs/groups; I have a BLOG...and we're no where near the end of the quarter. Fun times ahead!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't stay for the first class so it was a little bit difficult at the beginning to follow everything that you want us to do (OVERWHELMING!!!). But now that I already create my blog, googledoc, gmail account, etc, I don't think is sooooo terrible.
ReplyDeletePlayed with xtranormal for a few hours on Thursday and Friday. Made a short 3 minute video that I presented to my athletes.
ReplyDeleteAlready posted a comment today but it did not show so I am trying again just to see if it stays where it should. I say bring back the banda machines! Dr Heigle may know what they were!
ReplyDeleteIt worked!!! Tears of joy...and now I have no idea what I should be talking about. I did go on Babbel a language teaching site and have to say I was not impressed...but I don't know if I should be commenting on that here!
