  • I feel they’ll be motivated to do more metacognative activities such as this one after seeing how the information is presented

  • There are thousand more Apps to explore these are just a few.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      Apps make me happy for this reason :)
  • 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.

      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!

  • 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,

  • Whereas others have never heard of it.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      When I asked my class, none of them had any experience with podcasts and many kids asked what it was. I even asked my sister and her boyfriend who are sophomores in college, and I had to explain it to them, too. I wonder why they aren't more familiar with it
  • As the year progresses, we will have a whole toolbox of activities to choose from.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      this is a great way to build things. this way, you'll have everything compiled for next year.
  • My only hesitation about using wiki-spaces would be the fact the students will not be using this to communicate, post, or share; I will be doing that.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      That's ok. At least, you are familiarizing them with it. You can always do something with it later where they post.

  • By Thursday I will be into a story about the Black Plague
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      Just a hunch...but you might find some interesting interactive things on the internet that deal with the black plague or Medieval Europe.

  • 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!
  • 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.

  • 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.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      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.
  • 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.

Look who's Blogging - 0 views

  • Google docs saves files on a “cloud” in cyberspace thus allowing users to not only save space on their hard drives, but also allowing multiple users access for creating, editing and sharing.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
       
      this is a great feature! definitely makes it more accessible and efficient
  • 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

      you do a nice job of connecting a particular tool with a particular intelligence. thanks!
  • How can a generation who is known for their free thinking spirit tune out the latest advances in free communication and speech?
    • 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.

  • Technology integrated into the classroom provides the opportunity for every voice to be heard

      Imagine what they would've done if they had this instant communcation back then
