      Question I: ONLE Please justify why your unit integrating ONLE, not just distributed learning (DL) or online learning environments (OLE). Be sure to distinguish ONLE from DL and ONLE. Provide the examples from your unit to justify your responses.
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      Well, I tried to make it collaborative, to let the students build knowledge together. They are able to work together and learn from each other using tools like Google Docs, the message board, the wiki, and Storybird. There does stll need to be a great deal of control over what and how they're learning, though, since they are young children, not just small-sized adults.

      Question II: Social Tagging Architecture Please discuss what you social tagging architecture is. How do you design and develop it.
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      Delicious is out of the question since it's blocked by my district. So is Diigo. Figuring out what a key word is... is actually a difficult skill for my fourth graders. We're still working on figuring out what words to type into google to actually get what you're searching for. However, They will be using key words for the Storybird lesson as part of the pulishing phase they have to type in a summary and then a list of key words that are used by others when they search for stories. It is a very simple introduction to tagging.

      Question III: Evaluations Discuss how do you know your integrated ONLE instructional strategies effective? Remember assessing content is different from assessing instructional strategies. Your assessment must be capable to assess content, delivery technology, and instructional strategies.
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      I wont know if it's effective until I do it with my class. Any number of unexpected problems could occur. Part of how I'll know if it's effective is when I measure the amount of time and confusion these tools cause as compared to the amount of time spent in the computer lab. If it is not an effective use of my very limited time (i.e. it's moving along very slowly and only a fraction of my class understands what to do) then it's time to teach the content in a different way.

      I love Google Docs for the "cloud" computing strategy.
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      Yeah, but it's a complete disaster. I don't have the time and energy to monitor every kid who thinks it's funny to play around on that.
    • Monica Ulich
       
      I forgot about phpBB. Great tool for a discussion board. You mentioned that you controlled the login for your students because of the maturity level. Do you have the same problem in class?
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      I controlled the login because my kids are 9-10 years old and tend to be more open with their information then they should be and bots/spammers sometimes try to sign up and post absolutely inappropriate things. As for their maturity... they act their age. It's a bit easier in class to see it happening and stop it immediately though.
    • Monica Ulich
       
      You did an excellent job grouping the unit together. I liked the incorporation of an existing tool. I use MyITlab, and this is a well developed (and do-able) plan.
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      The tools I can choose from are kind of limited (short of paying a per-student rate for something nice a protected) so, I went with things that I can install and manage myself. I think it's do-able as well :) I'll see.
    • Barbara Miroballi
       
      I like the way you divide the grade up to include technology.
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      That's because I have to give them a technology grade every quarter. Elementary school, you know, we grade on everything. They have three reading grades on the report card, three writing grades, 5 math grades, 5 conduct grades... etc. Everything is broken down into little peices.
    • Barbara Miroballi
       
      I really like this program for plants.
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      Yes :) It's a great page! Very informative.
  • You will be reading The Great Plant Esacape. The information is broken down into "cases." Each case has different assignments.
    • Barbara Miroballi
       
      Is there a place where you could state the technology objectives for this unit?
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      I could, but no one will look at them or care except in this class. The technology objectives are simply to be able to use Google Docs, the Wiki, the message board, and Storybird. That's it. By use, I don't mean anything complicated. This quarter their technology grade is based on being able to post at least one message to the message board and publishing one story in Storybird. They have 45 mintues of computer lab time a week. They don't get a lot done in that time.
    • Barbara Miroballi
       
      I don't see where the rubrics for evaluation are. Do you use them?
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      Rarely. There are times when I find them somewhat helpful but my kids pay little attention to them and there are so many assignments each day that making 5-6 rubrics per day is just not going to happen. I did make some for the project proposal.

    This is part of my evaluation for Denilya.

      Hi Barb, I saw that you listed delicious as a delivery, but I did not see where you have the students create a "stack" or add links.
    • Barbara Miroballi
       
      Monica, They will add their to the Delicous site and tag them with the class tags.

      How is this integrated? Be more specific.
    • Max Atwell
       
      I feel that my lesson contains a good example of the ONLE/PLE, remix instructional strategy because part of the assignment is to create an online learning resource to explain dental articulators. To do this I would plan to encourage participants to locate videos and other media relating to this topic on YouTube or other social media to link to or embed to help explain and demonstrate the concepts they are presenting.
  • Widget/Gadget/Embedded Linkage
    • Chih-Hsiung Tu
       
      Could you elaborate it on how you may integrate this?
    • Max Atwell
       
      I would encourage participants to insert links into their WetPaint pages to contain VoiceThreads. I could go further to encourage participants to consider inserting RSS feeds or other linkage into their WetPaint pages that could in turn be followed in their PLE.
    • johnacedo
       
      I find voicethreads very effective. I also like your plan about incorporating the RSS feeds on their PLE. Communication is what makes mobile learning so effective.
  • community-community interaction
    • Chih-Hsiung Tu
       
      How is community-community interaciton integrated? Be sure to have good understanding on C-C interaction.
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      Your example was ETC647 Lesson Content Development becomes required reading for upcoming semester students," which is what they are doing when they read/add information to the previous groups work (the previous group being from the previous year), isn't it?
    • Chih-Hsiung Tu
       
      So how is this integrated in the example that you provide? Could you help us to understand?
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      The first group (year) would create a debategraph on a writing topic (for example "should students have to wear uniforms to school") that gives the advantages/disadvantages of uniforms and links to related articles and information, then they would write their persuasive essay. The next year could return to that same debategraph (it's a very good opener for persuasive writing, everyone has an opinion) and read the information and research then add their own ideas and research links to the debate graph and/or expand on the ideas written by the previous year. Then, write their own essays.

    • Aric Bilas
       
      Students will have access to previous year wiki pages via Delicious tags.  They will use the previous versions to guide their own outputs.  When they are finished, their Delicious tags/links will be added to the stack for future students to use as well.

    • Dan Ciernia
       
      Laurel, will students be able to merge their content with each others storybird.com creations to create a master compilation document vehicle? This may support the UGC aspect of your lesson.
    • Laurel Griffiths
       
      Dan, yes storybird.com is very collaborative! One student can start writing a story and another can contribute and so on.
  • Students create a wiki to teach future students how to solve equations.

      MOnica, I really like the way you pulled all the strategies and together.
    • Monica Ulich
       
      Thanks I really liked doing this project with the students. now I also can share these with next semesters students as well.
    • Sammi Lindstrom
       
      Will each group be focusing on one approach to solving systems or all methods?
    • Aric Bilas
       
      Sammi, absolutely.  I envisioned a jigsaw-like activity where each group focuses on a particular method.  There would be at least 4 groups:  Graphing, Substitution, Linear Combination, Applications.  Depending on the level of the class, Systems of Inequalities could be done here as well, although it may be too difficult of a concept to have the students present.
    • Denilya Barrett
       
      I love that STorybird link! I saw it on here last week and signed my whole class up and they love using it. It's a lot of fun.
    • Laurel Griffiths
       
      Yeah I have used storybird.com with a group of students too and its so much fun!! Students love creating their own stories and then being able to see them created!
    • johnacedo
       
      In my Western Composers project the network instructional strategies I chose were sharing and UGS. I found that using Wall Wish gives the students a free form to find teacher instructions, share their projects, collect responses, and pose questions and comments on other projects. I find this to be sharing at its best, collaboratively. The strategy I chose was UGC. I find that when students have to generate the content it does two things, one gives them ownership of the learning, freedom to create. And secondly, pride in the work they accomplish, the final project. In this case they will create an information sound track that provides composer and musical general information and identify musical characteristic examples in realtime overlaying on the musical work. They are not only creating, but sharing it with the class community generating questions, responses, and comments
    • Todd Luther
       
      Nicole, Is Twitter the only tool used for the discussions?
    • Todd Luther
       
      So I am not an Audacity user, but the students will be able to record some music from a specific composer, then add commentary over that track?
    • johnacedo
       
      Yes, it is great! The students import the original musical work, then they can record their voices creating additional tracks to add and place where they want in the song. When they are done it will fuse them together and create one sound file. There are a lot of possibilities.

      Barb, How do you deliver your module to your students? If it can be delivered via Wiki it would be a great preparation for your student to work in a Wiki if they are new to it.

      Have you used Google Sites at all? Is it nice? I'm kind of old-school in that I prefer creating websites in Textpad by typing out the html, but I get that students may not be so inclined. However, I'm not really a fan of Frontpage (such messy code) so I tend to avoid it... an alternative would be nice.
