      So far, my feelings toward these technologies is very different than I expected. It seems to not be about teaching our subjects as much as teaching tools for careers.
    • Kevin Bush

      I think that these are simply tools for teaching our subject. Students today are so immerse with computers, ipods, blogs, etc that its no longer technology for them, instead it is just their world. Its what they know, so technology is embedded as a method for teaching but it isnt teaching.
  • Overall, podcasting can add a broader range of ways in which students can be more successful.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss

  • For the end of the marking period final project, it would be fun to have the students choose a book they have read and create a podcast.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  •  It could summarize the book, act out a part, or focus on a specific reading strategy.  Pairing the experienced student with the inexperienced, could incorporate another learning opportunity.  We will see how it goes tomorrow…

      This is good...think of ways beyond simply reading the book. Acting it out, choral reading, etc.might be some options. I wonder if we can get some more ideas from discussion in class.
  • Whereas others have never heard of it.

      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

      I think it's funny that almost all of my students have an ipod, but hardly any know what a podcast is!
  •  It is the luck of the draw who gets put in a technology class, but those students who don’t get the class are put at such a disadvantage.
    • Douglas Gimbar
      Douglas Gimbar on 14 Oct 09
       
      At our school all freshmen have to take a computers/careers class. I know they don't get into as much detail with certain applications as they would like, but at least all students then get the basics of the technology we will all use in the future. I'm sure there is some way more students can get into that class.

      I always have this same question. I think your website is a good solution.
    • Randy Ziegenfuss

      yes...perfect solution!
  • provide organization

      Something most of our students desperately need!
  • I created a teacher website that had many activities that I found on thinkfinity.org
    • Randy Ziegenfuss
      Randy Ziegenfuss on 28 Oct 09
       
      I am interested to hear how you are planning to use your web site.
  • As the year progresses, we will have a whole toolbox of activities to choose from.
    • Janelle Schaeffer
      Janelle Schaeffer on 05 Nov 09
       
      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
      Janelle Schaeffer on 05 Nov 09
       
      That's ok. At least, you are familiarizing them with it. You can always do something with it later where they post.
    • Kevin Bush

      I think if introduced correctly, students could embrace this technology. Start in the classroom and gradually begin to work on using it on home assignments. The digital divide could be the biggest barrier.
    • Heather Apostolopoulos
      Heather Apostolopoulos on 10 Nov 09
       
      Yeah, the hardest thing I am finding is that my lower economic status students do not have computer access. Eventhough I promote going to the writing lab after school(they can get a late bus) or on study halls, etc...the kids just can't seem to get themselves to either of these times.

      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?

    • Randy Ziegenfuss
      Randy Ziegenfuss on 08 Oct 09
       
      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.
    • Shawn Collier
      Shawn Collier on 22 Oct 09
       
      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
      Randy Ziegenfuss on 28 Oct 09
       
      That's great to hear! It's easy to stay curious, too, with all the changes happening with technology.

    • Randy Ziegenfuss
      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.
  • 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.
