      Yet another great source of unbranded, generic, and high quality "how to" videos that I can mine for my course.

      This is great Anne. Where did you find these resources Merlot or one of the others? How will you incorporate this video into your online course?
    • Anne Deutsch
       
      Hi Diana - LION is a bit like Merlot for librarians but more limited in scope as it's only videos. The quality is high and videos don't have any branding so that they can be utilized by any library.

      I added the free version of RealTime through clicking on site link on one of the videos and the videos play successfully. Although Mozilla FF is not on the list of supported browsers, I was able to get MozFF to recognize the Real Time plug-in after I installed it on my hard drive.

    I am considering whether to add the entire resource or just a few videos with a "for more of this ..." to my module on 21st Century Learning. What really excites me about this resource is the implications for case studies in methods courses in the B-6 program ... can even be shared with Secondary Ed and TESOL. You may want to share this with your grade level, Building Leadership Team, or your PD person. A GREAT free resource for meaningful, asynchronous tech integration training.

An Exploratory Study on the Use of VoiceThread in a Business Policy Course - 0 views

  • Abstract: This paper reports on a two-phase exploratory study that involved student use of the asynchronous multimedia communication tool VoiceThread within a business policy course. In the first phase, students participated in a VoiceThread exercise consisting of an exam review followed by a survey on the use of VoiceThread. Of the 22 participants (from a class of 61 graduating seniors), 64% specified they would like to use VoiceThread for future learning activities, and 73% indicated they would recommend VoiceThread to peers for the purpose of delivering presentations. In the second phase, 13 of the 22 respondents to the first phase were sent follow-up questions to elicit their perspectives as to whether the use of VoiceThread satisfied Chickering and Gamson's (1987) Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education. Eight of the 13 students responded, with almost all responses being positive with respect to the Seven Principles. The results lend some initial support to the idea that VoiceThread can be an effective tool for facilitating learning activities in business and other courses.

Module 4 assignment - Color and Emotions - 6 views

  • This site discusses the effects of color on emotions and how we link colors to emotions.  For example red is often linked to anger while green creates a calming effect because of it resemblence to nature.  This site has several pages discussing different principles, such as how businesses use certain colors to encourage purchases.  Also, how certain colors in food make you want to eat more , etc.  Within each page are articles that cover the different principles and theorys.  Overall this site is well organized and easy to follow while containing a great deal of information.

      Module 4 assignment This seems to be a pretty good reference site for color theory and how color effects users.

      kevin: how will you use/incorporate this resource into your online course? where will it go, in which module? how will you direct students to use it?
    • kevin volo
       
      It will go in the Using Color to Tell a Story section and be a reference to show how color can be used affect peoples emotions.

      ok. i see your annotation, but the tags are not right. You have to put tags that are multiple words in parenthesis, otherwise each word comes out as a separate tag. "module 4 assignment" vs. module. 4. assignment.

      Fixed the tag issue.

    Used as a good color theory and emotion reference.

A Taxonomy of Reflection: Critical Thinking For Students, Teachers, and Principals - 0 views

  • a taxonomy of reflection
    • 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

      Good - no barriers to use
  • focuses on questions such as "what is a wiki?" "How does information get into Wikipedia in the first place?" and "Who creates it?"
    • Anne Deutsch
       
      Not only does it focus on questions, it encourages students to "dig deeper" - tying into two of our course themes!
    • Anne Deutsch
       
      This is a great video for my "working knowledge" section - it helps students understand both the benefits and drawbacks of Wikis and how to best use wikipedia for academic research.

      This resource is great because almost all students need to learn about search strategy but they tend to find the concepts BORING. This video is really engaging and fun. It pulls the viewer in from the very beginning.
    • Maree Michaud-Sacks
       
      This reminds me of the videos done with avatars, except I like it better because it is easier to relate to!

    Ha! I liked the video. I can relate to Ted. Very cute resource and appropriate for students. I don't think it was too long. Maybe the kids could recreate the video.

    I will use this website to support my graphing module. I will use it to provide both visuals and hands-on simulations. The instructor will provide the visuals with directions. The students will then get to attempt the problems on their own. This website will provide students with the practice they need.

Western Music History - 0 views

  • free, online wikibook
  • We then have expansions of range and complexity as we move into the Baroque era. The Classical era gives us the emotional power associated with such composers as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Romanticism then transforms the rigid styles and forms of the Classical era into more individualistic stylizations. Tonality was at its peak during this period, then Impressionist music paved the way to the use of extreme dissonances in the music of the Modern era.

      Great resource that my students could use as a suppliment to course material as a study guide. This online resource highlights not only composers, but classical works and terms specific to music of the time periods.
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      ok. you will use this as a suppliment. how likely is it that students will use supplimental course materials?
  •  
    This is an online wikibook that may serve as a good resource for the students that will be enrolled into my class. My current course, which is part 2 of 2, covers music from the Baroque to 20th Centuries. Students in my class can use this resource for both part 1, and part 2 of my class as it covers music from Medieval times to the present. It covers terms, vocabulary, compositions and composers. I believe that my students and I could use this as a reference point to an overview of each musical period.
