      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.

  • 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!

digital storytelling benefits Module 4 assignment

  • Digital storytelling enhances not only the students literacy development but also their social-emotional development.

      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.

      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.

      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

    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

  • 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.

    Describes anchored discussion. Compares regular discussion with anchored discussion.
  • alexandra m. pickett on 22 Jul 12
     
    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.
