      This is a really cool site! Nice idea. Does this meet all the ideas of an active classroom? I think it could, but just wanted to see your thoughts. Thanks.

      It all boils down to the quality in the information shared and the outcome of the collaboration. I suppose I could just read your post and not internalize it by commenting back or thinking about it.

      It is more active than just handing them a voaculary list to memorize...It can be made more active having the student share cards (creating their own study groups to work/study with)...witht he cards shared with the instructor, they can also be saved for future students

      Great idea Ruth. The communication and personalization is truly an added feature. We can share and see who says what. Students can benefit from this as they are brain-storming for new ideas as they use this. For example, they can share formulas in math homeworks or discuss social studies projects.

      I like your lesson using webquest. The student can participate in direct online interaction through the webquest. Also they use asynchronous communication to send information to peers. The communication is important as they can create ideas and share…and mainly edit their work in Google Docs, prior to sending it off to peers. You chose PowerPoint and find this is totally useful for real-world learning; young people need to learn these skills for various uses (e.g., work) and it adds a bonus of autonomy as they are part of the creation. This brings me to collaboration. Collaboration in this project will be effective as they share and learn about new animals. The topic is awesome as it stimulates curiosity and furthers research ideas. Lastly, I feel the animal topic is also a way to allow students to use multimedia and see images online.

      Very interesting activity! Could you also add in a project/presentation as a part of the WebQuest instead of test? I like that you added group and self evaluations too! Will your students be taking on roles in the WebQuest?
    • Teri Henderson
      Teri Henderson on 08 Apr 11
       
      Sure, I love the idea of adding a project. This is part of a larger unit and there are projects and an exploration where students take on roles; including, scientist, journalist, expert, etc.

      Sounds great! You could even combine the entire unit into one large webquest possibly? That would be super neat- lots of planning, but then the kids are doing the learning entirely! ;)

      Mark, I love the idea of following a blog and then presenting their findings--it sounds like a great way to be exposed to a lot of new information in an engaging way without having to do all the research yourself. I am curious, however, why you might use google docs to present rather than the presentation tool...
    • Brigette Gallus

      I agree. Following a blog would be very engaging for students. Could you incorporate expert's blogs somehow?

      I am replying to common question 1 : ONLE Learning happens in many different ways. And Different approaches and personal skills are needed to learn effectively in today's society. This unit is an attempt to integrate leaning with web 2.0 tools like Voice thread, blogs. A collaborative effort to showcase student learning in the student lead conferences to the peers and parents.

      I used participatory web to engage learners in contributing their concepts maps of what does it sound like and what does it looks like on Google docs. And interactions of parent-student and community-community were planned as part of the unit. Students have created some remix online contents which they would be able to share with the parents and community. Students will do social networking with Friends, Fans, and Following on blog.

      I would be able to evaluate through their concept maps on the Google docs. Also they would be using the blog to reflect and share. Students will follow the checklist to organize and complete their assignments. The social networking through blog and voice thread and sharing and reflection would help me understand their learning. Some tools they would be using for the first time to work on this project and completion would be the success of the unit.

      Is there some way for the teacher to ensure that students also address areas where they might struggle so the parents are aware?

      Kavita, If you have yet to implement this idea of a VoiceThread Portfolio for the students to share with their parents, I would like to know how it goes. Did the students enjoy creating the portfolios? Did the parents learn more about what their children studied and did it feel more personal? So, if you already did this with them and they led the conferences, I would like to know more. If you are yet to do this, if you remember, please drop me a line. Thanks.
  • Wendy Ellis on 04 May 11
     
    I liked using voicethread for a learning portfolio. It really does work with all the modalities. I also like giving students a communication outlet like a blog to collaborate and work together. You used great voice when giving directions or instruction. I could tell you were leading the students towards what you wanted them to know.

      I have implemented UGC with having the students create vocabulary flashcards that they will share with one another, and that will become part of the course content for later students (UGC). I am trying to develop a social network between students by the end of the semester through group work and discussions, bookmarking and commenting through Diigo (whiich is also UGC as it becomes part of the course content), and Blogging, By the end of the semester the students will also use Facebook to comment on reading selections or suggest readingbegin establishing their own community. I also implemented some Game strategies, particularly with the flashcards to motivate groups to work together collaborative toward a common goal.

      The only way to really assess the effectiveness of my strategies is summative, through student interaction and feedback. I plan to use the group discussions, blogs and Diigo comments to monitor progress, as well as F2F conversations and a survey at the end of the course. This course is also part of a multi-course scaffolding of creating self-directed and community learners (not learner-instructor focused) who are able to succeed online and in creating their own PLE. The retention of student knowledge and understanding in successive courses will also act as a summative evaluation.

      ONLE Instructional Strategies: Flashcards are UGC and Par, since students will be required to read others' in future classes. You used network learning, bookmarking with Diigo. I didn't see any RSS or tagging.

      Additional Comments: Great unit! I was a little confused about the direction of the unit, between the units, lessons, vocabulary lists, vocabulary lessons, blogs, etc. Wasn't sure where to start or go next, so I just skipped around and got the idea of all the assignments. Perhaps create a page with all instructions and then links to the other pages? Overall, great use of instructional strategies and technologies! This will definitely benefit your students.
  • Ruth Creek on 02 May 11
     
    The course cannot just jump in and become an ONLE or integrate a PLE because the students don't have the technological skills. The first few lessons work on developing the skills that they need, and begin the networking process through creating flashcards, first for themselves, then with an team mate, and then with a group. The flashcards then become the content for future courses. The student discussions are implemented in the third lesson which focuses on Cultural Diversity, a topic that my culturally diverse students can relate to and would be more willing to share experiences with one another. The intent here is to help create a Learning Community of students with similar abilities, similar experiences who will begin to work more with one another and rely less on the instructor. (learner-learner construction of knowledge is very important for Andragogical teaching).

      Learning occurs in many different ways. I felt that when students post and learn from each other through discussion board, they can discuss and create different kinds of idea interacting through the discussion board. Interacting and creating a timeline togther helps them plan and come up with deadline dates as well.

      Community Community: Students will read and decided what kind of recycle participation is important. Students will post this on the igoogle discussion board in their own group. They also have to decided within their group what leaders they want and what exactly each position will do.. UGC: Students are creating their own definitions of what is important and what we need to change at school to save the earth. Participatory Web: Students are creating a presentation at the end and also using a blog to reflect on ideas.

      My evaluations will be based on their postings on the discussion board. Seeing that each group member is posting and answering the questions will be evaluated. Also blog reflections, Dipity timeline, the igoogle document needed to show that they wrote a letter to the city, and last, the presentation at the end that is due.

      From Nancy Mitchell Author's Name: Veronica Ramos Unit Title: Technology and Recycling Provide feedback to the author for each of the following unit components. Be comprehensive on your feedback/comments. "Good job! Well done" types of feedback/comments are NOT acceptable. Content: Content that supports organizational learning network environments. Areas: * Content is appropriate for the targeted audiences. Feedback Comments: I am curious about the age group of the students working through this unit because one assignment talks about sending a request to the city of Avondale to help get the school recycling program underway, but they are only provided with a link for help, and no rubric or teacher feedback before submitting the email. ONLE Instructional Strategies: Integrate Constructivism instructional strategies and activities or other relevant strategies and activities to support the unit. ONLE Instructional Strategies Areas: * Integrate multiple ONLE instructional strategies in additional to constructivist instructional strategies. * Focus on "network" instructional strategies, not just "online (distributed)" instructional technologies. Feedback Comments: Students have the opportunity to use Dipity, Google docs, email, and Blogger to participate in the unit. This supports the integration of several instructional strategies including learner-learner interaction, learner-interface interaction, online group collaboration, reflection, and student publishing. Students are networking with the city and school community through this project. ONLE Technologies: Web 2.0 tools, social media, and/or network media. Areas: * All ONLE technologies integrate effectively & appropriately? * Focus on "network" technologies, not just "online" technologies. Feedback Comments: Students use Dipity to develop a timeline together, create and share a blog, and watch several videos to understand their tasks,
