Glogster (EDU version) - 4 views

  •  
    The classroom is a dynamic environment with a huge variety of opportunities for showcasing what has been learned in professional development. Sure, writing a lesson plan or a reflection may indicate how well the participant has benefited from PD course material, but to gain an authentic look into what the students are now capable of doing as a result of the teacher's professional development a web 2.0 tool may be more appropriate. An authentic assessment option is the glog. The glog is a way for educators to share what the students have learned and how the objectives from a PD course have been integrated into daily instruction. Plus, students love the multimedia interface and easy to use tools.

    Brief description of what it allows you to do and how it can be used for essential or generative learning: You create an online posted with interactive features...sound, text, video, flash animations. This is a great product tool for assessment because it hosts all types of input as previously mentioned. You can also provide links to outside sites. Brief explanation of why you found this site to be better than others you found (e.g., more effective, creates better products, easier to use, and so on): Free version to educators and easy to share products by sending links. Demonstrates creativity and allows the user to incorporate multiple items (i.e. text, pictures, videos, links, sounds).

    Site lets users create online, multimedia "posters" about a desired topic. This site could function for pre-learning at either the essential or generative level, depending upon the content added to the presentation. At the essential level, users could post samples and important terms. At the generative, prompts or questions could be included to promote application of knowledge. The site is reasonably easy to learn and free, and users can include images, text, graphics, audio, or video elements, making for a complete multimedia presentation.

    *Create interactive online posters *Glogster is where creativity and technology meet. It gives students opportunities to creatively present material.

    Glogster is an alternative to the typical two-dimensional posters and PowerPoints that have been the staple of research projects for years. "Glogs" are posters that students can create online to demonstrate their learning about a variety of topics using many different types of media to present their information. This tool definitely allows for active cognitive learning as students are able to choose not only the content to add to their Glog, but also the forms of media to be used on that Glog. The student can choose to use video, sound, pictures, and many other media forms to present content, but they have to remember not to overcrowd their Glog with too much information or too much media.

    This online tool lets you create a poster with embedded video, audio, images and text. I have yet to explore this web tool, so I am choosing it to force myself to experience a powerful and engaging learning tool for my presentation.

    Teachers, improve the future with a new way of teaching! Glogster EDU is a collaborative online learning platform for teachers and students to express their creativity, knowledge, ideas and skills in the classroom. This is an education-safe online environment where teachers can add classes to assign projects using Glogster. Students can use this multimedia tool to explore presentations previously made on a variety of subjects and topics, as well as creating their own glogs.

    Glogster allows learners to create an interactive poster, in which they post images, text, music and videos. They can also include links to other websites, including other glogs, to make their project more comprehensive. When used to create a project, this is a deeply learner-centered technology, as it requires a great deal of both behavioral and cognitive activity. Viewing it as part of the workshop will require both kinds of activity as well.

    This is a blog. The author covers everything about e-learning and presentations. He uses PowerPoint to create most of his content and offers many tips on creating presentations. I have been following this blog for about three years now and am amazed at the information I glean from his posts.

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Illuminations - 0 views

    Using Illuminations, which is sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, exposes the students to simulations that will assist in the understanding of this difficult concepts.

    I recall the drill and skill activities of the first computers in my classroom. They were similar to the flashcards previously used with the added advantage of bouncy smiley faces entertaining the students' correct response. The sites shared above go far beyond such response strengthening multimedia. The Chinese proverb goes, "Give me a fish and I eat for a day. Teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime." A proverb for multimedia learning might say tell me information I learn for a day, show me information I learn for a week, teach me to find and use information I learn for a lifetime. This course will model this metaphor for the teachers who will in turn model it for their students as they construct their own knowledge.

AJET 21(3) Kiili (2005) - participatory multimedia learning: Engaging learners - 0 views

  • Further, the multimedia learning layer of the model has to be revisited and extended. In fact, the focus of the future research will be on studying the usefulness of haptic technology in multimedia learning environments. The use of haptic technology can simulate cutaneous and kinesthetic sensations so that learning materials not only look but also feel (McGee, 2002) and may provide a means to reduce external cognitive load in visually and auditorily demanding learning materials (M�nch & Dillmann, 1997). Thus, I want to propose that in the future we should consider supplementing the multimedia learning layer with the haptic channel in order to be able to design more effective, engaging, and realistic learning materials

PowerPoint with a Learning Point - 1 views

  •  
    The topic of my multimedia workshop is on How to Utilize Multimedia to Create Effective Instructions. I plan to use PowerPoint as my multimedia artifact. In Jones (2005) article she establishes the fact that the technology of choice for most projects was PowerPoint. The main reasons for selecting PowerPoint for my multimedia project coincided with what was discussed in this article. PowerPoint is accessible and familiar to most educators and students. It is simple to use, can be created on desktop, visually stimulating, sounds or auditory stimulation can be added and can be use for cognitive abilities. In addition, PowerPoint has presentation versatility because it can be used as an original file, PDF format, and html format. It can also run with videos and have narration added. Finally, the software allows for interactivity. The focus of the multimedia workshop is to create a learner-centered approach to learning instead of a technology approach to learning; the software is used to facilitate this process (Jones 2005, p. 1). Mayer's (2008) active processing is when meaningful learning occurs and learners are engaged in the active cognitive processing during learning and instructors must figure out ways to prime the learners to pay attention to relevant material, and mentally organize the information and integrate the information based on their prior knowledge. The ability to actively process information can be associated students dynamic, collaborative and synergistic construction of significant knowledge within a multi-learning environment. Jones, D. (2009.). PowerPoint with a learning point.

HTML assessment / quiz - 1 views

  •  
    The link opens a rather short twenty question quiz about HTML topics. As applicable / relevant, students could use the quiz to determine what they know about HTML prior to studying HTML programming. Likewise, they could use the same quiz after studying HTML programming to determine what they learned and what areas need further review. The quiz could be used as a catalyst for spurring essential cognitive processing by introducing topics that will be considered during a relevant learning experience. By using the quiz in a pre-testing fashion, introducing relevant topics prior to formal training may help students organize their mental learning space in preparation of a more comprehensive learning experience.
