"The XYZ Affair" YouTube video - 1 views

  •  
    This professionally created, animated YouTube video combines visual, text-based, and auditory learning with technology and humor to create a lasting memory in the minds of today's students. I find these kind of tools very successful in the classroom, and I think further researching them is very important. Made by the educational resource company "Ignite! Learning."

    I think this video is a good technology tool to incorporate in U.S. History. Personally, history is one of my least favorite subjects because it is so boring! When learning about history there are so many historical figures and dates that it is almost impossible for students to remember all the material being presented. Therefore, as educators we must attempt to make learning enjoyable. Learning should consist of a variety of resources to enhance rentention of the information. I think this is definitely a video the students will remember!

    This is one of the very first articles I came across when looking for my information. It also breaks things down and demonstrates what should be focused on and why. Numbers again play a major part in this article and this article also introduces how youtube can be used. I know that many college coaches now use skype to talk to prospective athletes if they live far.

    Good ideas. I can learn something here.

    I think Sir Ken Robinson's ideas about the curriculum were right! One thing he mentioned that stuck out to me was about the divergent thinking being the essential capacity for creativity. He stated that there were several possible answers instead of just one. He used the example of the ways to use a paper cup to support his ideas. He explained how knowledge deteriorates over time when students become "educated". He says that what is considered as copying or cheating is referred to as collaboration in the environment. I think society is constantly changing and some aspects of the curriculum may need to be modified to meet those needs but not completely. I think with the changing curriculum, students and teachers are so overwhelmed by the emphasis placed on standardized testing that it is difficult for learning to occur in a fun, relaxed environment, except in lower grade levels where the students are still excited about learning. I agree with Sir Ken Robinson in saying that we can meet the future by doing the past, when the stakes weren't so high and so many students weren't being medicated, learning could occur in an environment that wasn't divided!

    Joshua, I am so glad you posted this video! I think that all educators need to watch this video simply because it is real. Technology should be essential in the classrooms today's simply because it is what the students see and use when they are not in school. Think about how many students have cell phones, Ipad's, Ipods and video games, we should be taking into consideration these things to strengthn education. I agree with Jessica on the divergent thinking--we sometimes forget that no 2 students are the same so their perspectives on learning and life will be totally different. I think a lot of times we do want the "perfect" classroom but the truth of the matter is we have to consider all learning styles. Students learn best from each other and group work is something that Sir Ken made a point in his presentation. In this course we talk a lot with each other SO that we can learn from each other so why not implement this same learning style into the classrooms?

Digital Literacy- Using Technology in the Classroom - 3 views

  •  
    This is an animoto that provides an example of how technology can be used in the classroom. It also briefly shows that teachers should know how and when to use technology to get students involved and/or engaged in the learning process.
  •  
    Interesting animoto I might add. Teachers should utilize every resource that is available to them in the classroom. Sometimes discussions can be dry and boring when you utilize the same chalk or blackboard. The only problem is that you have to monitor student's use of the computer on a regular basis. Do not get me wrong I enjoy having computers in my classroom. You just need to make sure that students are constantly following the AUP policy in the district that you teach.
  •  
    I really liked that animoto. It is one that I think that should start off the school year at a faulity meeting. There are so many ways to use technology and keep students engaged. I wish that some of people at my school would stop being so scared to use it.

Standardized Testing - 0 views

    This video explains that standardized testing places pressure on students, causes teachers to teach to the test, doesn't allow critical thinking by the student, and it is not a good tool to measure students' actual abilities. After explaining some of the disadvantages in the video, the creator makes some suggestions on how the standardized test can be improved to best meet the needs of the students.

    I view (and use) this resource much like I do YouTube videos. It contains a massive store of diverse resources to use to explain or enhance lessons. I really utilize, and find success in capturing the kids' attention, the primary source resources history.com has--videos and pictures of old speeches and battles, original copies of documents. Doing so helps the kids relate the information, which may seem abstract to them, to actual, real-world things and occurrences!
