Denilya Barrett on 10 Dec 11Well, 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.

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.

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.
