  • The skills needed to effectively create a project would be that of writing, editing, evaluating information based on audience, and presenting.

      This is the important lesson to learn. In a world where you can look up any info or fact with your cell phone there is no need to memorize facts.
    • Kevin Bush
       
      I think there still is a place for facts however, I dont think students need to know anything, I want them to learn depth. As I was taught very early on, students need a certain amount of content if not you are sorting an empty drawer, they need to be given content first before manipulating it with technology.

      I had no idea.
  • My students don’t come to their portfolio meetings, so wouldn’t it be great to be able to have students make a recording of their reading fluency at the beginning of the year and then rerecord during the third marking period. It would also be nice to scan in student work and have them record their portfolio presentation, so they have a larger say in how their conference is organized.

      evaluation is the highest level of bloom's taxonomy, and it would be great for the students to be able to do a podcast of their reflections on their portfolio.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • It is another way to bridge the communication gap between school and home.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      I hadn't thought about using it this way, but it's a great idea.

      One of the things the wiki allows is two-way communication. I wonder how you might use a wiki with parents as two-way communication. Would there be ways they could provide feedback, ideas, etc. - a way for THEM to engage with the information rather than just consume it. After all, that is what the web is all about these days - two way communication - consuming and creating information.
  • The wiki allows people to collaborate from a multitude of locations.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Yes...an important point. How could we use it this way in this course?
  • accumulating information in one space
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Yes...creating information.
  • So how can I use it?
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Excellent ideas! I am looking forward to hearing more in class and listening to what others are thinking about this idea.
  • What are your thoughts on this issue that I am having? Is it appropriate to post the video on my wiki for a short period of time?
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      I like how you pose a question. We should talk about this in class and see what others think.

      I hope we get a chance to see something you create in Photostory.

      There are definitely down sides to the Kindle - no color and no touch screen. The Nook changes that. Ironically, I was investigating the Nook earlier today and will likely get one for school to try it out.
    • Alicia Cortese
       
      If you get one can you bring it in for us to try?
    • Heather Apostolopoulos
       
      so the nook has color?
  • The Nook has a colored screen that looks easier to use, plus it is more eye appealing, so it is appealing to the buyer.
    • Douglas Gimbar
       
      I'm more of a numbers guy, not a words guy (which is why I'm a math teacher). However this seems like a pretty amazing tool. Can you get magazines on it or just books?
  • effective it will be in an elementary classroom.
    • Alicia Cortese
       
      Do you think High school students would be interested?
  • please let me know.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      I think you would just create a new one. It will be easy to copy/paste the content you have now....except files that you uploaded. You would need to do that all over again.

  • what I am left with is still just the wiki.

      We should have the class problem-solve this on Thursday.
  • I plan to implement some pictures into Flickr
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Excellent..we haven't talked much about flickr.
  • I could use some guidance at this point
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Let's definintely chat on Thursday! Great ideas....keep up the good work.
    • jamie hill
       
      It sounds like you are trying too many things at once. Find the one that works for your classroom and go with it.
  • I am proud of what I have created so far.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      You should be...you've are doing a swell job!
  • I became frustrated with many of the other technologies that I explored or did not find them functional for my classroom.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Shawn wrote about some frustration this week. You may want to check out his post. Maybe this is something we could talk about in class.
    • jamie hill
       
      many of these technologies i do not think i could implement well in my classroom either, but i try to pass them off to other teachers.
