Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling - 1 views

  • most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. However, as the name implies, digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music.

      Would our multi-media essay be considered a form of digital storytelling? This is another new technological tool that I look forward to exploring more. By the description is this article link I understand that a narrative aspect must be part of the project. I'll explore more.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      I think digital storytelling can definitely be viewed as one of our alternatives. We had a digital storytelling course spring semester. Here is the link: http://2010medu601.wikispaces.com/ There may be some useful resources for you to investigate.

    Thank you for this resource. I began to explore the wiki but will spend more time on it this week so that I am more familiar with the digital storytelling concept and tools.

Assessment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 views

  • Educational assessment
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Educational assessment has really lagged behind the times in the 21st century.
    • Kevin Bush
       
      We are still stuck in a 19th century model of education.

Digital Alternatives to Test Preparation - Kevin's Multimedia Essay - 0 views

  • they were being tested everyday.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Wow....amazing. And obviously "tests" of the wrong kind.
  • As a AP US History teacher I constantly find myself pitted in a struggle against content memorization versus using 21st century skills within the classroom
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      I think this is the one of the challenges we hope to address in this course - do we see the challenge as an opportunity to change what we do, or do we feel like vicitims.
    • Jennifer Volpato
       
      I agree, it's that cross between covering the material versus really learning it, or in the case of history living it.
  • College Board recently changed their policy of letting students know what the topic of the DBQ would be, students going into the DBQ had no idea what it would be the day of the test students had to complete a DBQ on the Puritans, a subject last covered in 8th grade. I found myself asking how well students possibly could do on a question like this, a question which was covered before students were even accepted into the honors track
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      This is the secrecy that Reeves talks about in the article we read yesterday. I wonder what the Board's rationale is for this decision. Clearly, a bunch of dusty academics feel they need to impose their outdated definition of learning on high school students.

  • Bring technology to every student, closing the digital divide needs to be a national goal, it can't be a program that waits five years. Forget about immigration, partisan divisions, tax policy, gays in the military, and healthcare, our national needs to make it a priority that by August every student will have access to technology and every teacher will get the training to use that technology effectively within the classroom.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      I am always amazed at how little our country cares about education. We focus too much on reacting to problems instead of attacking root causes. If we developed a world-class education system, we would be able to solve more of our problems, in better time.
    • Jennifer Volpato
       
      The reaction component is signifcant. I guess that reaction is easier than the problem solving but certainly not as effective.
  • research about how people learn
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      We need to pay more attention to the learning sciences: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_sciences
  • Develop assessments that test the students ability to create authentic learning experiences that demonstrate their growth as an individual.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      So why don't we do this? THE TRUTH ABOUT TESTING will hopefully shed some light.
    • Jennifer Volpato
       
      Great challenge. I was thinking after my article review this morning about how this can be achieved in a national way. There must be a way to incorporate a measurement of authentic knowledge into the measurement of our school and student success. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as just creating test questions it would involve other means of data collection
  • Kevin's Multimedia Essay
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Nice outline of the challenges we face with developing skills and balancing requirements of assessment. It's our problem. So what will we do about it? Hopefully we'll develop some potential answers.

  • Students will naturally be more engaged in problem solving if they have interest in the topic.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      I think this is too abstract. It needs to be connected to a real example, if not from your experience, from someone you've connected with.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      same with the other questions.
  • When Will I Use Math?
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      This is an awesome site! How effective are they at persuading people of the importance of math? Study the site to answer that question and then carry some of those ideas into your essay.
  • f the technology.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      I love the idea. Can you share an example of how others are really doing this. You link, but say more! Talk about it. How does this connect with your argument? How does it also anwer the question about creativity, collaboration and creation?
  • many of the previous questions.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Explain how...this is a terrific video. Don't leave us to figure out how it answers the questions you've asked.

    Jamie, I posted my comments for your essay on the wiki. I was afraid to have all of the highlights and stickies show up in your draft. Let me know if you want me to post them to diigo
