Purple Comet! Math Meet - 0 views
-
We have participated in this contest for 3 years. It doesn't cost anything except for the printing of the questions for each team and/or team member. It is a group contest -- up to 6 per team. Each team needs a computer that can only access the Purple Comet site during the 60-90 minutes of the exam. Any preloaded software may be used to find a solution. It isn't multiple choice, so guessing doesn't do much good. I had 2 teams try that last year and didn't get any of the guessed problems correct. Tough contest -- there are only a couple of Iowa high schools participating so far.

Emerging Asynchronous Conversation Models : eLearning Technology - 0 views
-
The standard model for asynchronous conversations is discussion forum software like vBulletin. I've talked before about the significant value that can be obtained as part of Discussion Forums for Knowledge Sharing at Capital City Bank and how that translates in a Success Formula for Discussion Forums in Financial Services. I also looked at Making Intranet Discussion Groups Effective.
-
However, I've struggled with the problem of destinations vs. social networks and the spread of conversation (see Forums vs. Social Networks).
-
Talkwheel is made to handle real-time group conversations and asynchronous ones. It can act as an instant messaging service a bit like Yammer, HipChat for companies and other groups, but the layout is designed to make these discussions easier to see, archive, and work asynchronously.

Threaded discussion is an old technology. It's inspiring to think of new ways we can talk together at a distance that allow integration of both synchronous and asynchronous technology. I often thing we'll look back on the course management systems we use today and think of them as something like a 300 baud modem. Eyes Front! What's over the horizon line?

How Online Education Is Changing the Way We Learn [INFOGRAPHIC] - 1 views

-
This info graphic really shows how online learning is changing and challenging our traditional mode of educating.
-
Our school offered a blended class through APEX learning. I was in charge of the Algebra II class and the students loved working at their own pace and when they wanted to work. There were time lines for assignments and test, but students could work ahead. If they had questions I was available for them. I don't think that they could do the course completely by themselves. I think that this was a great learning opportunity for the students, to see what is ahead of them in the learning system.

This is a free Computer Algebra System designed to go with the Core-Plus Mathematics Curriculum. We are using a different curriculum, but this was referenced as a free tool as an alternative to the leading calculator product. Since we will be 1:1, my students don't need to invest in those calculators. CAS is not allowed on any college testing as of yet.

ollie1: Iowa Online Course Standards - 2 views

(K-12) • Information literacy and communication skills are incorporated and taught as an integral part of the curriculum.
-
Communication is key in online classes. I know I have been lost a time or two. I like checklists of requirements for the course.
-
Information literacy becomes even more important as more resources are available for our students. They need the tools to be able to filter through all the information out there and search out what is best. Middle school kids seem very willing to believe it if they saw it on the internet.
-
I'm 57 years old. My dad, who had an eighth grade education and would be in his 90s were he still alive used to tell us, "Don't believe everything you hear." He would also say, "Don't believe everything you read." My dad was wise. We need to be skeptics. Everyone needs to ask the questions, Who is sharing this information? Why should I believe them? What is their purpose? How old is this information? Can I understand the context in which it's offered? I'm a teacher librarian. I've been working on this for 16 years and love that information literacy is in these standards.
-
Communication is the hardest thing I do as a wife, mother, teacher, and friend. When I think I am communicating well, it's obvious that others are not!!!! HA! The hardest job I will every do is communicating.

• The course design provides opportunities for appropriate instructor-student interaction, including timely and frequent feedback about student progress based on the learning targets.
-
It's important to encourage students to feel comfortable to ask questions especially when they are lost. Quick, easy, multiple ways to contact the instructor are important.
-
I would agree so many students are too afraid to ask questions in front of a class. They are just satisfied with not knowing rather than risking embarassment.
-
I am involved in a grant program that is about blending the online teaching with face-to-face teaching, which will make the instructor-student interaction easier.
-
Obviously this is important, but also challenging when you see as many as 150 students per day. It makes things like clickers and online communicaiton that much more important.
-
Technology has made instructor-student interaction easier, while also making it difficult for students to not become involved. Students quickly see that they are accountable and instructors can track their participation.
-
Students and instructors both need feedback in order to achieve. Progress can only be achieved with an ongoing, positive conversation
-
-
All resources and materials used in the course are appropriately cited and obey copyright and fair use.
-
This is something I would like to know more about in the on-line world. I'm not sure on certain issues relating to this and would like to be more clear on my understanding.
-
I would also like information, especially about fair use!
-
This is one of the greatest concerns I have in planning an online course. I did find a section in the orientation materials for this course that addressed it. It is called "Copyright BriefNotes" and is available from the AEA. I can't tell you exactly where I found it; explored way too many links to be able to retrace my steps and the printout doesn't have a web address. It was a pdf file on a link.
-
It is critical that we model appropriate citing, observance of copyright, and fair use for our students. My middle schoolers have difficulty grasping both the significance and the proper methods of these concepts.
-
This is one of the most important details! Yes, middle school students struggle with citing. It is only going to be more important as more and more online resources are available.
-
I'm pretty clear on rights for print materials, but less sure when the item in question is a graphic, picture, etc. Does it make a difference that our course is only available to students in our classroom and not going out to the world wide web?
