  • Thinkfinity is a database
    • jamie hill
       
      This is similar to Web Guru then??
  • creating a product that they can print out or save
    • jamie hill
       
      Are most of the activities on the computer then, or can they been done without computers?
    • Douglas Gimbar
       
      Jamie, it all depends on what you are looking for. There are hundreds of lessons and activities. You can find ones that can be completed off the computer as well.
    • Heather Apostolopoulos
       
      The problem with this is then we hear complaints about using ink and toner to print everything out. How do we bypass that?

  • I would really love easier access to computers
    • jamie hill
       
      Our science department has our 17 laptops tied up almost everyday. If I want to use them it has to be scheduled well in advance and cant conflict with their lessons anyway. Why can one department create their curriculum around tech. but the others have to suffer.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Good question, Jamie. I think it is because education has looked at technology as a "nice if you can get it" extra.
    • Heather Apostolopoulos
       
      I agree, but since my Read 180 is a big thing right now. All of the read 180 classrooms have computer carts with 30 or so lappies! I consider myself lucky, but I do sympathize.
  • vast resource that it is almost overwhelming
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      This is one of the new skills - how we deal with the overwhelming amount of content. Thinkfinity is designed to try and help us do this by sifting and sorting through content that would otherwise take more effort to determine reliability (i.e. a Google search).
  • I hope that I am not overlooking great tools as I meander through the site.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Collaboration can help this!
  • One of the problems that I am experiencing finding a way to work these into my lessons when I don’t have instant access to computers or laptops. 
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      This is a real challenge for logs of teachers wanting to try new things, but not having the resources.
  • recite the speech and incorporate a series of images that compliment and connect to the speech.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Good activity to highlight media literacy. How will they find the images?
  • a very realistic goal
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      And ou don't have to actually have an iPod. You can listen to these files on any computer.
  • fireplace
    • jamie hill
       
      I debated the fireplace.
  • gathering information from Internet resources
    • jamie hill
       
      What a great tool to have as a HS student going into college. They can collect school stuff and fun stuff in the same place too. I couldnt help but notice a game widget.
  • be a highly technological concept
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      It can be a little intimidating at first.
  • I am wondering why more people I know don’t have one of these pages set up for themselves
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Good wondering. Why do you think more people don't use RSS?
    • Douglas Gimbar
       
      I think because it is a fairly new technology and certain people are hesitant to try something new. . .a fear of change.
  • Before making my netvibes page, I did create a bloglines page but was not impressed
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Yes...Bloglines is just plain ugly looking!
  • personalize t
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      This one word captures what technology can do for us.
  • my trip to the world of educational technology
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Hopefully you'll stay, even after class is over!
  • This is the impetus for me to continue to further develop more uses of technology with my students.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Great! Our understanding really develops over time --- there is no end point. So stick with it!
  • I always thought about learning how to use wikis as a way to respond to reading novels in my class but felt I needed someone to guide me through learning about it.  I haven’t had the time yet to incorporate a wiki in any of my classes, but I am teaching a new course in the spring semester, and I think that I might have the opportunity to try it out there.  As far as I can tell, the course’s curriculum doesn’t seem to have many big technological highlights, so it  might give me the opportunity to engage students using a new medium.  The class is 10th grade on level, which is a step below college prep, and those students might benefit from the ability to engage in discussion outside of class and use a hands on way of doing it.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      This is an idea you might want to consider developing as part of your final project in this class.
  • Hamlet Facebook pages
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Is this something you might share in class?
  • truly engaged and had a good time doing it
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      What do you think they learned?
  • they really had an honest reaction of surprise at how fast class was going.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      It would be interesting to dig into this deeper, trying to understand - maybe through some conversation with them - what they found most engaging about the approach you took with the class.
  • ultimately share this idea out there in cyberspace. 
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      I wonder if there are practitioner journals - NCTE, ISTE, etc, that would be interested in an article?

  • the link to the math specific resources
    • jamie hill
       
      How useful are the resources? Are most of them good, ok, great?
  • solve systems of equations
    • jamie hill
       
      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.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      congratulations!
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      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?
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • the thousands of math lessons already prepared by Thinkfinity
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      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?
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Check out this blog: http://adifference.blogspot.com/ Darren is one of the well-known math/tech gurus. I also see that he has several posts on how he has used podcasts. Maybe you can get some ideas here: http://adifference.blogspot.com/search/label/podcast
  • intrigued by RSS
    • jamie hill
       
      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.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      RSS is the best. It can be very addicting though
    • Shawn Collier
       
      I'm still loving my RSS. It really has changed the way I get info from the web.
    • Heather Apostolopoulos
       
      I just wish I could find the time to do this... I would love to set up the RSS!
  • I was glad I decided to go with Netvibes first
    • Shawn Collier
       
      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.
    • Shawn Collier
       
      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.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      That's great to hear! It's easy to stay curious, too, with all the changes happening with technology.
    • Douglas Gimbar
       
      That's what makes it fun, there is/will always be something new!
    • Alicia Cortese
       
      I feel like I could take this class for the rest of my 35 year career and still feel as though I have only scratched the surface This class has taught me the importance of staying on top of the lastest advances because playing catch-up is never fun!

      I use this tool more than anything else as well!
  • so they can have extra practice on topics they struggle with.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      Good way to personalize learning....allow student choice.
  • I should elaborate during future classes.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      This is an interesting way to connect with your colleagues. I wonder how it will be recieved.
  • o this project?
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
       
      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.
  • reflect on the lesson
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      Any time you ask students to reflect on their learning is great. It promotes higher order thinking and growth.
  • survey my colleagues

    "During the last six or so years I have created a number of 'how-to' documents and presentations for a variety of web based and related technologies. They are available from the various workshop web pages however I thought it might prove helpful to link to all the documents from a single page. Some of my workshop participants have referred to these documents as 'cheat sheets'."
