  • Anderson and Krathwohl reworked Bloom’s Taxonomy
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Nice reference. Is there a Diigo link to this on the web?
  • , I think it’s a positive. “
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Have you had a chance to actually use one? I am going to try and bring one in on Thursday.
    • Heather Apostolopoulos
       
      I agree, we need to get these types of things into the classroom.
  • There are thousand more Apps to explore these are just a few.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      Apps make me happy for this reason :)
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • learn what is appropriate to add as comments (Digital Citizenship)
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Nice idea to bring in multiple aspects of what you are learning in class.
  • Diigo allow people to highlight the internet.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Yes...it allows us to annotate the web. Previous to Diigo, that was certainly one of the constraints of web technology.
  • loaning that book to a friend
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Wouldn't it be great if you could do that with a Kindle? How much more would kids love reading if they could highlight, ask questions and offer thoughts to a vast audience of readers? Now that would really change the game for reading!
  • technology helps foster collaboration
    • Douglas Gimbar
       
      Collaboration is one of the most important aspects in education.
  • If my class was using social bookmarking they could have then shared those bookmarks so we can all visit the sites and highlight and comment on our favorite parts or parts we still don’t understand.  With Diigo in place in your classroom at home reading assignments can be commented on all in the same place. Students can come to class, with questions in mind from what conversations where started through highlights and comments.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      great idea! this is also the same reasoning I have behind using wikis with texts we are reading
  • There is no student not listening or drifting off and they have as much time as they need to get their thoughts out too.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      This is a great attribute!
  • eaching 21st century students with 21st century methods seems so obvious now.
    • Heather Apostolopoulos
       
      The rest of the world needs to come on board now!
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      How can we do that, Heather? How can YOU do that? How can I do that?
    • Heather Apostolopoulos
       
      I'm not sure how we should tackle this Randy, but I was happy to hear when one of my students came and said they used their cell phones in Algebra for some homework post! Going to try and search that teacher out and connect!
  • With our final project (for lack of better name) quickly approaching
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      I do hope you are all stressed out. That is what I am aiming for. LOL STRESS!!!!!
  • animoto a
  • This new approach might be pushing my students zone of proximital learning but its pushing mine too.
    • Shawn Collier
       
      It's great that you're learning with your kids. I really believe the most powerful way to teach your kids that learning is important is by learning with them. You should be proud of yourself for taking a chance!
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_of_proximal_development We are ALL learners. That is part of the shift. The teachers is not the sole source of knowledge...in fact, the teachers, just like the kids, is always learning!
  • Researching a new technology each week has been inspiring
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Curious....do you think you will continue to investigate technologies beyond the end of the course in December? Why or why not?
    • Alicia Cortese
       
      AMEN! The techonology can only improve thus making our jobs even more exciting.
  • And continue this cycle every year.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Great idea....create this repository of shared information around a topic...or even your whole course, depending on how you envision it.
  • I am thinking that I want to use the technologies in my tool box as assessment tools but as
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Interesting...I am developing a new course for summer II on alternate assessments using technology.

      Sign me up!
  • T eaching 21st century students with 21st century methods seems so obvious now.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      I wonder what we have to do to get there? I think it might take more people getting on board with this approach to teaching and learning and exposing them to it at a younger age,
  • free time today
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Free time on a Monday? You need more work!
    • Heather Apostolopoulos
       
      Free time, tell me where I can find it? I was out sick on Monday... I spent the whole day reading and creating an outline for chapter 7 of our text! Fun fun fun!!
  • to help them review.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Or even TAKE the test? Ooooo..novel.
  • So, the idea is to have an alternate assessment at the end of each chapter. The alt. assessment will be created using one of many technologies we have discussed in our class (ex. animoto, flipbook, comicstrips, prezi). At midterm I plan on assigning a larger project, more cumlative of course.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Really nice idea! Love it!!
  • What do you think?
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Nice way to scaffold the assignment. And don't worry if it's a bit messy at first. Reflect on it and work out the problems, and you'll end up with a great way to engage your kids!
    • Heather Apostolopoulos
       
      I think it is a great idea, but how will the kids be given the choice of which to do?
  • it was crucial for students to have the rubric in hand when their animation assignment was assigned.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Definitely!
  • The students still seem un-easy about this new type of assignment.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      New things can be uncomfortable!
    • Shawn Collier
       
      Sometimes comfort leads to complacency, so a level of uncomfort (with your support along the way) can be a good thing.
  • I can show all of you too.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Looking forward to it!
  • I like the students to know what I am looking for but the rubric is vague enough that students can still be creative. 
    • Shawn Collier
       
      It's great that you're planning a way for students to be creative when completing your project. I think it will really help them take ownership of it.
