      How useful are the resources? Are most of them good, ok, great?

      ill try to remember this when my class gets to this
  • The class loved the idea and became immediately engaged.  The class as a whole performed very well on the assignment with my guidance.

      Looking forward to hearing more about this. It would be interesting to hear how you use to teach the concept; how you taught it this year; and how it was different. How were the students engaged differently?

      I wonder if how these lessons change the idea of teaching and leanring math. Or do they "technologize" the older ways. I'll be interested to learn about that in class.
  • Any suggestions?

      I also was quite intrigued. I set up netvibes in about 10 minutes of spare time. Im not addicted to it yet but it has possibilities.

  • I was glad I decided to go with Netvibes first
    • Shawn Collier
      Shawn Collier on 22 Oct 09
       
      I felt the same way. Netvibes is really user friendly and the others seemed to be tough to navigate for rss newbies.
  • However I am still having some trouble figuring out how I can incorporate the use of Netvibes into my classroom.

      I feel like at first it can be used just as professional development. That sounds so blah though, so I guess you can think of it as finding interesting stuff regarding technology that will positively affect the way you teach. I think its beneficial even at the level of just being exposed to new, cutting edge, technologies.
  • I’ll just start by saying that if you are someone who doesn’t spend much time exploring the internet and only likes to go to your favorite places, having an RSS feeder is the perfect thing for you.
  • Each week is a new innovative tool that sparks my curiosity and makes me want to learn more about it outside of the classroom.

      That's great to hear! It's easy to stay curious, too, with all the changes happening with technology.

      Randy Ziegenfuss on 03 Nov 09
       
      I think your project has the potential to be a really good one. It is also an opportunity to do a little action research that may prove useful when you start your thesis. Let's plan to talk about this further in class on Thursday.

      You have essentially sold me on the idea which is something my tech guy hasn't done yet. I am glad you informed me that it has an equation editor. Good stuff to know.

  • Other tools such as Google Docs are capable or reaching a variety of different learns by simply utilizing a few of the vast templates created for the tool. Social networking sites can be incorporated to meet the needs of those students who are strong intrapersonal learners while Podcasting meets the needs of most musical and linguistic learners. Bodily-kinesthetic learners can now travel and move through virtual worlds or take their handheld devices to record data while on the go. Blogging, electronic journals and word processing applications are excellent tools for verbal/ linguistic learners as well as intrapersonal learners while Geocaching is great for both naturalists and spatial learners alike

      I think you're correct. It's about who you connect to. If you connect to a bunch of people who talk about what they are eating or drinking, then there probably is little value. If you connect to like-minded people who have a passion for, let's say, technology or educational futurism, then you will likely grow from the sharing of knowledge.
  • You could say it was a “light bulb” moment when I finally realized that blogging allowed me to do all this and more

      Dosen't this make you wonder how many things in life you may have closed your mind to before it them a chance. We always push our kids to "give it a chance, you might like it!" There are times that I need to remind myself of the same lesson.

      I am interested to have a discussion about this. I think this mentality is at ALL levels of the educational system. That is why it is so dysfunctional! How can we change that? What can each of us do? I love your writing style, by they way.

      Thanks Randy! I was actually slightly worried about posting this blog. My department reads all of my postings and I decided to take a risk to see if I would get a reaction from them. I did! Time and lack of insturction were the top issues for not "getting on the bus". Now I can confidently tell them that I can be of assistance in their learning.
  • The entire world has been wired for instant communication, sharing and learning, yet many are still hesitant to bridge the gap between the traditional methods that have been cultivated and ingrained by our society to the new experimental, highly addictive, personalized and engaging activities that technology can bring to the learning environment.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
      Randy Ziegenfuss on 28 Oct 09
       
      Is it that we "don't know what we don't know" or is it just a part of our "educational DNA" - unchangeable?
  • Are you on the bus?
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
      Randy Ziegenfuss on 28 Oct 09
       
      Yes...I'd say you are all on the bus. That is what is making this such an enjoyable group of professionals to work with!

    • Alicia Cortese
      Alicia Cortese on 28 Oct 09
       
      I do think we are. Our numbers may be small at the moment but every revolution starts small. Plus we have instant communication on our side. No revolution ever happens as fast or neatly as one would hope.

    • Janelle Schaeffer

      This is a good question. I never thought of it that way when I considered why older teachers are reluctant to try new things with technology.

      Their boat was certainly rocked today when at our faculty meeting we were informed by the administration that technology in the classroom would be a new focus. They gave me the "shifty eye" but in truth I felt as though I had won a small battle!

      I think dicussion is key in math and would have helped me a great deal as a struggling math student. Our school recently initiated the Collins Writing program where ever subject must write and discuss. It has proven benifical across the board
  • shifting their thoughts

      Randy Ziegenfuss on 02 Nov 09
       
      Terrific goal! How will you do this? How can you bring them into the experience. I find that people in our professional that have the kinds of skills they have are so focused on themselves - "it's all about me and all the wonderful knowledge I possess. My job is to transmit that to everyone I speak to, especially my students." So how can you tap into the focus of "me?"

      I intend to incorporate them as much as they will allow me to. My thoughts right now are to generate a podcast or video with their sentiments! Be prepared they are cunning and very shrewd and highly entertaining!
  • I have been laboriously scouring the web in search of interactive tools that will allow me to integrate technology into my classroom. I have battled with the notion that social networking sites are ruining wholesome communication, fought to obtain hardware, software and access to particular sites for my students and I have even set aside my preconceived notions to discover the benefits of certain tools within the classroom

      Tell me about it. I have been working on a doctorate for three years now and plan to graduate in May. I often wonder what I will do when I am finished. I think I will have so much time, but I bet it will be less than I think. I'm sure there will be loads of other things waiting for my time and attention.
