      This resource is great to help broaden a teachers scope of literacy.  There are many parts to explore.
    • Kelly Gorcica
       
      In each activity you can click to find out more information about how it is helping the student. They address how students are hitting the Language Strand, Skills, Theme and Type. It is easy to understand for both a teacher and a parent.

      It is easy to find different activities to try just by looking through the different stands.

      I like the section that discusses home to school connections. Many times it is hard for teachers to continue their students learning at home. This site gives great tips and tricks for teachers to give to parents to help them help their students.

      I plan on using this resource in my course as a tool for my students to explore some activities they can implement in their classroom involving literacy. The choice will be theirs on what they choose to use if they choose to use any. I plan on adding this to my module that ties in technology. I think it would be a good fit there.

Economics Interactive Tutorial: Elasticity - 0 views

  • In each of the following examples, choose whether you would expect demand to be elastic or inelastic. In none of these examples will the demand be as elastic as the demand for gasoline at a particular gas station on a street with many gas stations. Drivers will flock to a gas station with a price a few pennies below its neighbors' prices, and will abandon a gas stations with a price a few pennies higher. Choose "Elastic demand" if you think that buyers will buy somewhat less if the price goes up, or somewhat more if the price goes down. Choose "Inelastic demand" if you think that the buyers will buy about the same amount if the price goes up or down. An unconscious bleeding man is brought to a hospital emergency room. A patient is given a presciption for a drug to control high blood pressure. The patient's insurance doesn't cover drugs, so the patient must pay out of pocket. A hospital in-patient has insurance that will pay all charges. What would the demand be like for nurse-administered propoxyphene (Darvon), a pain-reliever? A senior signs up with a managed care plan to get the Medicare drug benefit. Even though the senior is locked in for a year, the plan can, at any time, change which drugs it will pay for, based on the plan's judgement about a drug's effectiveness and price relative to other drugs that do about the same thing. For members of that plan, what might the demand for the Darvon be like? Darvon's cheapest alternative might be acetomenophen (Tylenol) in this case. A family has a high-deductible health insurance policy. The effect is that the family pays for primary care office visits out of pocket. Now, one of their children has an earache. What would their demand be like for an office visit to get this checked out? In general, if the decision-maker has an incentive to spend less on some product and if there is an adequate substitute for that product, then demand is more ...

      This area is a perfect tool for the student to self-assess whether or not he/she grasps the concept of elasticty. The student reponds to each scenario and is provided with an immediate solution to confirm their answer.
  • Health Savings Accounts -- The Best Way to Make Demand More Elastic?

      This section would be the perfect way to take the concept of elasticity and apply it to a current event. It could also be an excellent prereading for a discussion or blog.

      This initial section provides a nice summary of elasticity and would be useful to assign as a reading to provide background at the beginning of the module.

      Terrific website to use as part of a short unit on elasticity. It provides all the basic background information, provides a self-assessment, and applies it to a current event. Students should have no trouble getting some good information out of this site.
  •  
    This is a very cool interative activity for students to use in their learning about the concept of elasticity.

      Hover over the keyboard to get a list of fuges by J.S. Bach. Click on one and an excerpt from that fugue will play. Move over to play movie and a new screen will come up. The entire fugue will play while scrolling through the music. A listening analysis map will also show and will move while the piece is playing.
    • Kristina Lattanzio
       
      Click on each of the titles to read a description of what each is: prelude, clavier, fugue, well-tempered, symbol, history.

      The pieces in this site could be used during various discussion assignments for Music Theory and Analysis course. They can also be used to show examples of the concepts in many of the course module activities and how they are used in real music.
  •  
    This site includes all of the Fugues from the "Well-Tempered Clavier", a book of preludes and fuges by J.S. Bach. Each fugue is played and includes a movie of the music and a timeline of analysis to go along.

Small Insults and Doing Gender - 1 views

  •  
    Thinking of gender as an achievement
  •  
    We usually think of gender as a set of traits (as in femininity and masculinity), a role (as in scripts for behavior), or a social variable (as in salary differences). The doing of gender discuss in this article is different than all of these. Doing gender shifts our attention away from the inner person and to the interaction, where we can see gender as an achievement. I will use this in my introductory module preceding a observation activity of watching a conversation between men and women in a social setting. The final culminating activity will be an blog reflection.

  • "Ethics Are Relative" by Edward Westermarck
  •  
    This website provides useful ethical texts (excerpts) and discussion questions. It would be a good resource to have the learners focus on one piece of work. The selection of articles may not be perfect, but for an introductory course it does not matter.

    • Maree Michaud-Sacks
       
      Although I'm not sure what research or theory this is based off of, I think this could be an interesting discussion prompt. I think it may help students to "Dig deeper" into what reflection is and how it can help students in their learning

      hi sue, not sure why you were unable to add a sticky to the page... ? try again. you can add 2 kinds of stickies: 1. is a comment on the entire page like this. 2. the other is a comment on a particular highlighted text. i will demonstrate. : ) me
  • As discussed before, data is entered by selecting a cell and entering data. In the illustration below, if you wanted to enter the year column (column A) you would click on cell A2, type 1997 and press [ENTER]. Entering the data would automatically advance the active cell to the next row or cell A3.
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      Sue: this is a sticky note that is associated with a particular section of highlighted text. : )
  •  
    I wanted to add sticky notes but that does not appear to be an option with this material. Id the format of the document? I plan to include this in my course. Now I have to decide if I eliminate my video Excel intro that I created in jing or do I add this as another resource. I think I am inclined to keep both.

ETAP640amp2011: How am I doing it in this course? And how are you doing it? - 0 views

  • It seems that a very informative post that does not bring in outside research to teach the class something will never receive a perfect score. That seems to be the essence of a perfect post. Search the web, search books, search resources, and bring these ideas back to the class to teach the class something.

  • The article then discusses a number of educational techniques for avoiding these two pitfalls, including building more measures that support positive interdependence, individual accountability, and collaborative skills; increasing opportunities for the socio-emotional and affective exchanges between learners; adjusting the instructor’s and the learners’ role for CSCL environments; and increasing social presence, i. e. reducing the perceived distance between learners.

  • being available and around are what I believe you define as "teaching presence." But the kind of presence I mean, or mindfulness, comes from being present (in Buddist terms), being aware of every step, listening, paying attention to details, and stepping outside of oneself to assess the learner environment and relationships within it - without bias or judgement.
