  • it wasn’t terrible!
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      Glad you dove in!! Looking forward to your second post for module 1!
  • Her example was “what does it mean to be human?”  The reason this struck a chord with me is that many students are either uninterested in research or they think that they are already expert researchers.  Unfortunately, very few of them have the research skills required at the college level.  This interview served as an important reminder to me that it’s my job to make the course both relevant and engaging.  I want to do my best at writing engaging and thought provoking discussion questions.
  • Pickett discusses the importance of establishing trust in the online classroom.  One thing that has been surprising to me but upon reflection makes sense is that this is about both design and instruction.  The icebreaker module takes on a new significance in this light – as it’s not only the launch of the course but also the launch of the community.

  • “just because you call it a discussion doesn’t make it a discussion.” 
  • so maybe I’ll work on developing my very own perplexity fairy. 
  • In this course not only will I remember my instructor’s name – I will also remember my classmates’ names. That’s pretty remarkable!

  • BRILLIANT
  • I completely changed the direction and tone of my opening module.  I changed from a generic introductory icebreaker to one that has more focus, and I also plan to have my students discuss and set the classroom etiquette for themselves in the first module, rather than simply handing this down as set policy.  I’m feeling really good about these changes! 
  • Thanks, Alex!

Benefits of Digital Storytelling - 0 views

  • Digital storytelling enhances not only the students literacy development but also their social-emotional development.
    • Lisa Martin
       
      The more I saw about digital storytelling, the more I realized it's potential for building self esteem. There is no "wrong" answer here. Everyone can be successful.
    • Lisa Martin
       
      As I looked at countless resources for self esteem building activities, I realized that I was lacking a truly collaborative activity in my course. I thought that digital story telling would be a fun, stress-free way for the girls to work together and connect with each other.
  • is that with digital storytelling students may use a real and authentic voice. This is of course very empowering in terms of motivation.
    • Lisa Martin
       
      I love the idea of the girls being able to use their "voice" as soon as possible in my course. I want to use this activity in the first module as another "icebreaking" activity on top of my voicethread.

  • but their ability to tell their own story, students with learning difficulties tend to do well with digital storytelling projects.
    • Lisa Martin
       
      I also like that digital storytelling allows for girls of all ability levels to participate. I could really make it a fun activity with the emphasis on the story itself, not their writing abilities.
  • another benefit of digital storytelling, is that students, when given the choice, most often will choose to talk about something they are passionate about; thus creating engagement for the creator of the digital story
    • Lisa Martin
       
      I love that this activity will give students freedom and choice to add anything they want. We all know that giving students choice leads to them being for satisfied :-)

    Nearly all animals begin their lives as babies. Birds as well as many species of reptiles, amphibians, and fish emerge from eggs. These animals are called hatchlings. Most invertebrates, including insects and mollusks, also emerge from eggs. These creatures are called either larvae or nymphs, depending on the species. For my class creation

      This could be used as an icebreaker activity as well. Maybe combine ideas of all students on what they're nervous about with the course or what they're looking forward to or want to learn.
    • Lisa Martin
       
      These ideas can be used in ANY course, on OR offline. Some great activities in here for icebreakers and a variety of other things!

INTIME - Integrating New Technologies into the Methods of Education - 2 views

      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.

      Perhaps there are activities that can be adapted to online course environment? Click on "Go to Material", above, scroll down and click on "Database development" and select "by grade level" or "by content"
  • INTIME provides online video vignettes of PreK-12 teachers from various grades and subjects showing how they integrate technology into their classrooms using numerous teaching strategies. INTIME is the result of a PT3 program (Preparing Tomorrow?s Teachers to Use Technology). INTIME resources are useful for (1) teacher educators creating case studies; (2) pre-service teachers learning about effective pedagogical techniques; (3) in-service teachers searching for ideas and independent professional development; (4) professional developers seeking resources to demonstrate good teaching and technology integration, and (5) administrators developing teacher quality initiatives and mentoring programs.

    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.

Plagiarism - 2 views

      Love that this is a simple explanation of plagiarism for students to understand.
    • Danielle Melia
       
      I am going to use this as a recommended site to explore in the module for learning how to create citations. 
  • Students know that putting their name on a paper written by someone else is plagiarism, but they are less clear about when to give credit to others for ideas included in their papers. This site attempts to clarify what actions are considered plagiarism and provide techniques for avoiding them.
    • Danielle Melia
       
      This is so important
    • Gary Bedenharn
       
      This is good advice for people that are not sure they are actually plagiarizing someone's work.

    These give such a fun twist on the grammar and are very catchy. I can't wait to use them in my modules to help reinforce grammar rules. I'd love to have them come up and video tape their own songs as well.

    Describes anchored discussion. Compares regular discussion with anchored discussion.
  •  
    Anchored discussion is a form of collaborative literature processing. It "starts from the notion of collaborative discussion that is contextualized or anchored within a specific content" (van der Pol, Admiraal & Simons, 2006). In this course, the discussions we participate in are based on prompts that address ideas included in each of the required resources for each module. However, an anchored discussion is a discussion that is focused on one piece of literature. As students read and digest the material, discussions about the meaning of that material occur within a window where the material is present. It is like having an asynchronous chat window open next to a research article. (van der Pol et al., 2006) As I started learning about anchored discussions, I saw many connections to shared annotation such as what we use Diigo for. Van der Pol et al. (2006) state that "shared annotation might leave more room for individual processes, but is shown to have some limitations in supporting interactivity". Anchored discussions take shared annotation a step further in that it requires conversation (as opposed to individual notes) regarding a resource. The collaborative piece of anchored discussions really got my attention in that it provides greater opportunity for the development of teaching presence by both students and the instructor. The opportunity to facilitate a discussion within the context of a required reading is an exciting idea for me. The use of anchored discussion allows for all three facets of teaching presence: instructional design and organization, facilitating discourse, and direct instruction (Shea, Pickett, & Pelz, 2003). I am wondering if there is a way to use Diigo in creating anchored discussions.
