      Thanks for looking at this unit. Actually the unit has three assignments and 2 of the three are group involvement. The one you are looking at is individually accomplished. The beauty of this assignment is that it is shared on Flickr so students critique each other using the Web 2.0 tool.

      Hello Russ, The content of this unit supports organizational learning network environment. The Web 2.0 tools you integrated into the lesson plans are feasible and enable group collaboration. You included 4 components of technology integration as required. Your unit integrates Constructivism instructional strategies. The learners will have an understanding of technology integration in the classroom and its importance. Your goals and objectives were clear and concise. The rubrics you included were informative and supported your lesson content. Even though I am not familiar with photography, the information provided was interesting and engaging. The pictures you shared are wonderful. I am certain your students enjoyt your lessons immensely. Great job!

      Thanks Adrianna I see places that I missed and plan on updating the unit. This will be a big help for me and students that miss class. I hope students don't come to class because to this though.

    Russ, It is an interesting unit. The set-up of the unit was very simlpe and easy to navigate. I looked at the assignment directions, and it looked as if they were individual assignments. In subsequent lessons will students share their photos with others and critique them? Geneva

      Great observation...its a measure of what they have gained from the unit. E.g. are they responding to a question differently from the way they responded earlier?

      Hi, You have incorporated many useful tools here for communication and collaboration. Google Docs is a great tool for collaboration and sharing, Delicious sets the stage for social learning that is perpetual in its ability to post updated information, Webspiration is a web-based tool that allows for the creation of concept maps, that eventually individuals can work on as a group and communicate using a chat component of the tool, and finally iGoogle is the foundation ( currently in my opinion) as a PLE that allows for the unification of useful and effective tools for updated content. good job.
    • Dennis Marsollier
       
      I think you have done a great job of teaching people how to incorporate technology into learning. The conetent, resources, tools are very well laid and clear to follow. Good job.

      Hi, i feel that this tool is useful for any course because most individuals would like to see the progress of their learning. It is also imperative that individuals focus on areas that they appear to be weak in so that when new information is introduced, a strong foundation for the basics have already been covered and mastered. Thanks. Great job in seeing the vision for this assignment. You did very well. Mary

      Hi Dennis, Content: I have provided numerous floating messages on your website, but I wanted to say that your unit was very informative. You used lessons that embraced the learning theories that the units should have focused on: Constructivism and Connectivism. Technology: It appears your technology usage and unit production focused on a progressive learning experience. You used many Google tools, which seem to embrace the user, such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and iGoogle. You also included a tool called SurveyMonkey, which could be used easily as an assessment tool. Instructional Strategies: I see that you used research and video to assist you in teaching the content. You also utilized many tools that would allow for students to learn from each other. Assessment: I do feel that you could have used some assessment tools for the assignments that could have guided the students and provided an overall analysis of their learning. Objectives would have also guided the learners and revealed some expectations. Overall, I think you had a simple yet informative unit. I would recommend a little more development in the areas of assessment and instructional strategies, but other than that, I think you did a good job. Mary

      Hi Betsy, Content: I have provided numerous floating messages on your website, but I wanted to say that your unit was very well-developed and informative. It appears that the creation of content of this sort is not foreign to you...lol. I loved your layout and usage of certain terms and concepts. You used lessons that embraced the learning theories that the units should have focused on: Constructivism and Connectivism. Technology: It appears your technology usage and unit production focused on a progressive, elaborate, and challenging learning experience. You used many Google tools, which seem to embrace the user, such as Blogger. You also included Delicious, RSS Feed, Go to Meeting, and Google Docs. Outstanding. Instructional Strategies: Your strategies reflect those of a Master who has covered this area before. There is collaboration, cooperation, discovery learning, independent study, incorporation of effective web-based tools,etc. I feel that you really embraced the learning theories that the professor requested. Great job. Assessment: I think you included a great deal of rubrics, self-reflection, and one thing I normally dont see, a "long-term" assessment and reflection in my opinion that measures the progress of the learner to make sure learning is occurring. Good job overall. I find this unit one of a kind. Mary

      Hi Joshua, Content: I have provided numerous floating messages on your website, but I wanted to say that your unit fulfilled its focus of teaching teachers how to integrate technology, specifically, Web 2.0. You used lessons that embraced the learning theories that the units should have focused on: Constructivism and Connectivism. Technology: It appears your technology usage and unit production focused on a progressive, elaborate, and challenging learning experience. You used many Google tools, which seem to embrace the user, such as Google Docs. You also included Webspiration which utilizes a chat component to support collaboration. You have also incorporated Diigo and Zotero, the latter, I had never heard of so I have learned something quite new to incorporate into my curriculum, web-based or face to face. Finally, as a PLE, iGoogle was used. I have personally found this tool to be extremely helpful, for it supports organization, collaboration, easy access, and updated content. Instructional Strategies: Your strategies used appear to place the learning as the learner's responsibility. There are also collaborative exercises that could increase the various perspectives of content, thus introducing new ways to solve a problem,etc. Assessment: Although you have included surveys and included a blog, I felt that a rubric would have been appropriate to use as well for guidance and assessment. Other than that, the pre & post surveys are good opinionated measurements to assess student progress. Good job. Mary
    • anonymous
       
      Sure, they are opinionated...they test what the instructor imagines to be important but learners have a mind of their own. Ever wondered about that?
    • Mary Jones
       
      That is true, but that is also a problem I think occurs in discovery learning and goes back to whether or not the thinking matters or the fact that an individual arrived at the correct answer.

      Hi Content: The unit was very well-developed and informative. It appears to be focused on higher education. I loved the layout and usage of certain terms and concepts. I think I used lessons that embraced the learning theories that the units should have focused on: Constructivism and Connectivism. Technology: The technology usage and unit production focused on a progressive, elaborate, and challenging learning experience. I used Google tools, which seem to embrace the user, such as Google Calendar. I also included Delicious, Google Docs, Prezi, Camtasia, Picasa, Twitter, Ning,etc. Instructional Strategies: My strategies were reasonably okay. There is collaboration, cooperation, discovery learning, independent study, incorporation of effective web-based tools,etc. Assessment: I incorporated multiple assessment strategies, such as rubrics, surveys, and peer reviews. I feel that the tools used would provide an effective reflection of learning.

      I didn't realize at first this was implemented in a workshop environment. I thought this was an individual task and/or presentation that people took on by themselves. I would suggest using the group in all of the assignments. If this was the intent, I would just make it a little more clear in the beginning that all.
    • Dennis Marsollier
       
      You are right. I will need to rewrite this section. Thanks!

    • Mary Jones
       
      Hi Dennis, In this lesson, you have indeed connected the learners and created opportunities for their learning to "snowball." Some students may be just instructed to use one form of Google docs alone, but in this lesson,you have instructed the students to collaborate and you have instructed them to share what they have with the workshop class, which could lead to more learning opportunities. Good job. Mary

      Hi Dennis, It appears that this webpage is structured to support the usage of the various tools created and maintained by Google. It is imperative that individuals get the most of these tools because they do have such a great impact for productivity, communication, and collaboration. I see that you have incorporated videos, as well as step by-step instructions, which is great to accommodate the various learners. The assignments place the students at the center of their own learnng, fulfilling the Constructivist learning theory. Finally, as stated earlier, you are teaching tools that not only support the various needs of the user, but that also allow the user to share and collaborate important information. Good job. Mary
    • Dennis Marsollier

      Common Question I: Aligned Connectivism Principles Please discuss three most important strategies of NLE/PLE in your unit, identify what aligned Connectivism principle(s) are, and discuss the assessments you integrate. Remember NLE/PLE strategies are not your contents or "technologies," such as wiki, discussion board etc. It is the integrated soft technologies. If you don't remember Connectivism principles, please review our Lesson 1 readings. Hint: be sure to include four components of technology integrations: Content; Technology; Instructional Strategies; Assessment.
    • Moussa Tankari
       
      The first connectivism principle that my Unit plan includes is the opportunity for learners, in this case, in-service teachers to connect with each other with ease using different software applications. More specifically, when they use wiki to collaborate contents is a good strategy to keep learners connected. Another strategy is that building online libraries, using Delicious for example, help learners share useful materials without having to buy books. Learners become actively engaged in social bookmarking process as distributed learning and they become socially networked via social network sites to connect to relevant human learning resources. Next, when they write their lesson plan and use World to visualize their ideas, it is a core principle of connectivism which emphasizes that "utilizing visualization to examine data, such as tag clouds or Wordle Arts" is produces the "ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts." Finally, when learners review each other's lesson plan in groups, this allows them to make contributions to learning content and engage in collaborative and community learning activities for the first principle of connectivism sates: "Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions."
    • Moussa Tankari
       
      Unit Presentation: I designed this 6-week unit plan to give in-service teachers more opportunities to diversify their lesson delivery and content strategies for a number of reasons. First, commercial materials are very scarce in many schools For example, in my own country there is a ratio of one book for 30 students. The unit also aims at strengthening collaboration between teachers and students for a better outcome. I have included multiple technologies( VoiceThread, Wiki, and Delicious) to allow for connectivism principles to be used throughout the whole six weeks that the training will last. The unit comprises three lessons, one leson for every two weeks, a training outline, and groups space. Lesson 1 is essentially focused on Introductions of students and orientation. During this first lesson all students are required the mandatory training for each tool to be used during the training. Reading and discussions start with Lesson 2. Lesson 3 concludes with a survey at the end of training to ensure that this kind of training is/isn't worthwhile in the future.

      Common Question II: Weaknesses Please discuss three weaknesses of your unit. Please specific. Hint: focus on technology, instructional strategies, and assessments.
    • Moussa Tankari
       
      My Unit plan is hypothetical and as such may not be implemented in any context. However, it can fit in many teaching and learning situations. For me, the most challenging aspect in putting together this unit plan is to marry the objectives with strategies and link everything to connectivism principles. I am not sure I have married each goal with an appropriate strategy and this may constitute another handicap. Finally, the course format that I chose may pose difficulty for technology low-skill ability learners in Africa. After I submitted, I thought a hybrid format could solve the problem. Otherwise, everything looks fine for me although I cannot see my back...
    • Matt Romanoski
       
      Your unit does an excellent job supporting learning network environment in terms of content. Resources are provided each step of the way. Additionally, the wiki environment you have created supports the learning network environment concept. Groupspaces are provided for collaboration as well as discussions that encourage network learning through sharing and discussion of ideas. There are a variety of web 2.0 tools supported and used throughout the unit. The first lesson requires students to go through tutorials and gain a familiarity with these tools for use in there lessons throughout the unit. There is also a variety of discussion that is encouraged using the web 2.0 tool Voice Thread. Strategies are constructivist based and require students to build there own knowledge and demonstrate their learning and understanding. Examples include building your own information database by using social bookmarking, a research paper designed to demonstrate their understanding of network learning, and finally the group lesson plan and presentation using powerpoint. These technologies incorporated lend themselves to the strategies used, which include individual work, group collaboration, peer review, and group discussion. Rubrics and guidelines are clearly stated for what is expected of each lesson. Also there is an end of unit survey which allows the student to reflect back on how much they actually learn as well as provide information to the instructor that can be used in future implementations of the unit. Moussa, overall I thought the unit was very well though out and designed. It applied constructivist principles, multiple technologies, is very simple to follow and easy to understand. I also really like the graphic on the home page that introduces ICT. Well done!

      Hi Moussa! I love the web here. It gives a lot to think about - the many possibilities
  •  
    The unit is well aligned with Connectivisim principles. The fact that teachers are expected to become familiar with the web 2.0 tools and learn to apply them is very powerful. It is not enought ot just "being familiar" with web 2.0 tools, but being able to apply them in a teaching environment. The objectives and lessons are clear. I didn't notice any rubrics though. Also, you may want to use Google Forms, rather than survey monkey, the teachers will get a good idea of how to use Google Forms in their classrooms. Great Job! Geneva
