Using Moodle: Inline display of images captured with Jing - 0 views

      Anyone ever try this? I am thinking there has to be a way to get this posted.
  • After you capture and save your image to the Web, Jing gives you a popup letting you know that it has put the (non-embeddable) URL on the clipboard. That popup also contains a link to a page on screencast.com where you can manage the image (e.g., rename, delete). That page displays a link to the embeddable URL. You can right click and copy link location from there. It's an extra step, but it's acceptable.

ollie1roberts: Iowa Online Course Standards - 0 views

  • Sufficient learning resources and materials to increase student success are available to students
    • Tracey Matt
       
      It is imperative that students are given appropriate resources to be successful.
    • Nancy Healy
       
      There seems to be endless online learning resources and materials that instructors can investigate as options for their own classes. However, it takes a great deal of time to investigate online opportunities and may seem overwhelming at times.
  • Each lesson/unit includes content and activities, assignments, and assessments to provide multiple learning opportunities for students to master the content. Each unit includes an overview that describes the objectives of the lesson, as well as introduce the upcoming content, activities, assignments, and assessments of the unit.
    • Tracey Matt
       
      Content, Instruction, and Assessment should all be included in every unit.
  • The course is easy and logical to navigate, including self-describing links
    • Charmaine Power
       
      Important for students to be able to naviagate the course so they don't give up on what they goal really is.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The results of peer review and student evaluations of courses are available.
  • • The course goals and objectives are measurable and clearly state what the participants will know or be able to do at the end of the course
    • Mary Allen
       
      Definitely a participant must have patience and an awareness of manipuling programs and sites to complete. It's all feasible but sometimes confusing. Once accomplished, the goals and objectives are feasible and measurable to complete the class.
  • • The course content and assignments are of sufficient rigor, depth, and breadth to teach the standards being addressed
    • Mary Allen
       
      Yes, the assignments are sufficient and provide rigor and relevance. Persistence is a key factor in completing this Moodle course.
  • The course structure includes a wide variety of assessment procedures to assess students’ mastery of content.
    • Nikki Gerling
       
      I think this one will be easier with online quizzes and grading and collaboration. The students and myself can see immediately how they are doing.
  • The course instruction includes activities that engage students in active learning.
    • Nikki Gerling
       
      Getting the student(s) actively engaged is sometimes a problem. I am hoping that our 1:1 computer initiative will help this and that we will be able to do more to get them engaged and make it all seem relevant.
    • Nancy Healy
       
      I think online learning creates more opportunities for engaging, active learning. Online learners are put in charge of their own learning and work through a process to achieve this learning. The online instructor needs to develop interactive content and assignments that help students move independently through the learning process.
  • • Instructions to students on how to meet the learning objectives are adequate and stated clearly.
    • Cindy Crall
       
      This is important enough to be a course standard for the clarity of direction. Without the classroom meeting to interact with questions, the expectations need to be quite clear.
  • Instruction provides students with multiple learning paths to master the content, addressing individual student needs, learning styles and preferences.
    • Cindy Crall
       
      Although important in all instruction, this is especially important in online courses as the teacher does not have the benefit of looking into the students' eyes for feedback on understanding to determine the need to switch directions so the variety needs to be their right from the beginning.

Cool Tools for Schools. - 0 views

  •  
    Cool Tools for Schools is loaded with ideas to use in any subject area. Any one of them can be used to align with the standards and benchmarks for state and local requirements. In some ways it is overwhelming. Learning a few at a time and trying them to see how students actually adapt to them would be the best practice. Overloading them might be frustrating. I can see the frustrations students can have with all the new concepts; I'm frustrated with an online course.

    Here are Michael Thornton's student livebinders. These are textbooks written by the students. Except for the typo on Ancient Greece review, this is a marvelous example of having students build meaningful textbooks.Interestingly, Michael's livebinder puts together livebinders themselves.

Understanding the difference between Forums, Blogs, and Social Networks « We... - 0 views

  •  
    It's easy to get the tools mixed up, but it's important to know the differences. Quite often (usually by executives) I'm asked the difference between Forums, Blogs, and Social Networks, here's usually how I explain it (focusing first on usage and benefits rather than technical details): Forums are like social mixers, where everyone is at equal level, milling about and discussing with others.

  • If not, take a look at the staggering statistics on the social media shift. Look at everything that has happened in the past 5 years. What do these numbers mean for educators? The easy answer is that it should not be able to ignore such a societal shift by filtering, banning or whatever you’d like to call it policies.
    • Deb Henkes
       
      How can we use the energy around social media to help our students learn better and more efficiently? What does this say about us as teachers if we are NOT using these tools? How can we manage and utilize these resources as effective PD without succumbing to information overload? Sorry, I have lots of questions, but not many answers. Interested in hearing your comments.
