      Christine Cowen, could you tell me more about the Chat Room Etiquette lesson? I would like to use it in my Character Education class, if you would like to share. It sounds very "interactive."

      Amy, Great Interactivity! This is a fun and engaging way for the students to learn about the Civil War. Would your evaluation be in the form of a rubric?
    • Amy Matteson
      Amy Matteson on 31 Mar 10
       
      Yes, I tend to lean very much toward the rubric esp for group work.

      Another option that studets perform at my school is to dress-up like the famous person and present infromation to the class. The presentations could also be recorded and made into a movie that could then be broacasted to the entire school or on the school/teacher website.

      You are so right! I had to define "famous" for a Famous Black Americans PowerPoint project for Black History Month. Famous inventors, activists, politicians, athletes, etc. were not on their mind--only present-day athletes and rappers.

      WebQuests are a great way for all students to get involved in their learning--individual roles and tasks working toward one common goal. There are a number of great science and social studies WebQuests available on the Internet. I created a desert wildlife WebQuest in my science methods class. It was fun!

      WQ normally is considered in "active" level not interactive. Could you justify why this WQ is in interactive level?
    • pattirose55
      pattirose55 on 04 Apr 10
       
      Amy states that the groups interact with each other; therefore, I too would consider this type of WebQuest interactive/collaborative. If a WebQuest is just roles in one group, then I would say that it is not interactive.

      I'll have to check out this product. I've used a number of visual mapping tools but not this one. Is it easy to learn and use?
    • Kelly Nightengale
      Kelly Nightengale on 01 Apr 10
       
      Yes. Roman introduced it to me in a different class. There is a slight learning curve as with all mapping tools but once you catch on it is great.

      I checked out Seavus DropMind 2.0 which is now available. It actually has integration with Google Docs and Google Contacts. Thanks Kelly and Roman! I learned a lot about another great visual mapping tool.

      Inspiration is a great program for kids to show what they have learned and how it all goes together. Do you have something you have used in your teaching for them to acctually send it on to the next person?

      I use mywebspiration.com. It is free and collaborative. The class can work on one projected in the front, all at the same time (as long as they have computers). I am so spoiled and lucky because I teach computer classes and each student has a computer. It makes technology integration so much easier.

      I would love to use Google Docs with my students for them to collaborate, but a lot of them don't have an email address and their parents are nervous to allow them to get an email address. Any suggestions?

      I think people can overwhelmed by all Google Wave is capable of doing. What do you suggest a new user do to tap into this awesome tool?
    • Esther Mitchell
      Esther Mitchell on 02 Apr 10
       
      Google Wave is relatively new and might scare off many. I would always recommend any tools - overwelming or not. I asm a trail and error person and feel the only way one can get comfortable with something, one must practice. With practice, almost anything can get easier.
    • Courtney Lewis
      Courtney Lewis on 02 Apr 10
       
      I am the same way. I guess the best way is to maybe give assignments that force students or participants to use a certain type of tool in an application like Google Wave so they have an authentic reason for learning the tool.
    • Amy Matteson
      Amy Matteson on 02 Apr 10
       
      I agree that requiring students to use a certain tool as part of an assignment is a great way to have them learn the application in an authentic way, but I also think intermediate age kiddos need some time to explore (aka play with) the new tool before we expect them to buckle down and produce content.
    • Kelly Nightengale
      Kelly Nightengale on 03 Apr 10
       
      Also, because of the newness, there isn't a lot of direction available on how to use it. It is in more of a trial mode right now so it may not be the best time to "require" students to use it. After it is fully functional, an assignment utilizing it would be the best way to expose and get students to practice using it.
    • Erica Jacquez
      Erica Jacquez on 11 Nov 10
       
      I also agree with the trial and error. Systems and products may have a different cover, but once you get to working with them they become useful because in one way or form they have the familiar tools that we are accustomed to.

      I think since the students seem to be working together to create the concept map and they are using the Internet to do so, you could probably add Online Cooperative Learning to your instructional strategies list.

      The interface actually lets them "play along" and interact with the other characters in real time... think 'Second Life' with a historical setting. The game is the culmination of the webquest.

      The students will set up facebook pages as the characters of the book. The students will assume the roles of these characters. They will post things on each others walls, post status updates as if they are that person, and others will comment on their posts. All that will be done will be openly viewable to other class members. (ie no private messages) The process will be student driven and open ended. It is the hope that various groups will attack it in different ways.

      I'd measure if they have the most important information for the topic or not. Being that I work in an elementary school and have to give a report card grade on how well the kids work with eachother, I'd also measure that (based on observation, the kids giving their members a grade, and the kids giving themselves a grade for it).

      When so many of our military are still stationed overseas, this is an excellent way of getting them into the classroom. Students need to be aware of what it is like to be in the military, away from your friends and family and stationed in some foreign country (possibly a barren, dangerous environment).

I give them the longitude and latitude information to type in and they provide me with the location and a fact they learned. Then I provided them with the location and they provide me with the longitude and latitude. At the end of the activity they create a similar assignment that they give to another student in the class to complete. They really enjoy looking for their house, the school and other places they have been.

      I like this idea Amber! After reading your idea I created my own account in Glogster. I plan on using it with my 7th and 8th graders. They are going to create a glog of their favorite poet and poem with pictures of the poet and related pictures. They will also interpret the poem and explain what it means to them.

      Google Earth and even MapQuest can take students on virtual trips to discover landmarks or environmental problems. Some of my Jr. High students have targeted public areas, like parks, playgrounds, and camping grounds, that could use some help with cleanup (litter, repair, etc.).

      pattirose55 on 11 Apr 10
       
      Don't apologize...Group interaction can just be talking about anything (introductions, discussions, clarifications, etc.), while collaboration is actually working together. Every course, workshop, or team starts with introductions or icebreakers for group interaction.

    Synchronous Denilya I liked your example of active learning being the math games where students compete against each other. There are many interactive games online for students to compete against each other and since so many of our students have grown up with computers games this is an excellent means for them to learn interactively and together. Asynchornous Personal blogs and journals have been my most powerful interaction with instructors. Reflecting on my own learning process is essential and the ability to share it with my instructor has been extremely valuable.

      I like to be entertained... or it needs to be useful to me, one or the other. Usually classes are neither.

      Although this is a wonderful way of showing a process, the whole fun for me would be tasting the example that the instructor made and then tasting my own to see if there was a difference. Taste is a sensation that is sadly being left out. Or maybe tasting is the motivtion for me to enter the kitchen... :)

      Rosetta Stone software is good for real-life scenarios. It has active displays of people doing things, like ordering in a restaurant or diving into a pool, with Spanish translation.

      I am surprised that the healthcare industry seems to behind the times with technology. Why do some doctors still handwrite prescriptions and jot down notes on paper? Even my vet keys in anything and everything on the health of my pets immediately. I would think that computer-generated prescriptions and medical orders and reports would be more secure, as well as more legible.
