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.
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,
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.
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.
It is another way to bridge the communication gap between school and home.
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.
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
