Enter a brief post (50 words or less in true blog style). Your post is to include your research, process of learning, and how you intend to use your new skill in your future classrooms. Read your classmate's posts each week. Be sure to let us know what you are learning in each post. Keep track of where you have left off reading so that you don't have to read all of the entries again. If you need to edit your post, click on the little pencil below your post. Feel free to check in on Group 2 at any time, though

Just have to share this great infographic (I do teach graphics, after all) from www.onlineeducation.net:
ReplyDeleteIt's detailed, well-organized and scholarly -- but mostly, delivers such a hopeful message to all students -- all that makes it a great promotional piece for the online ed group!

ReplyDeleteThis is the link to Seattle Center's "The Next Fifty" event, coming up this spring in celebration of the '62 World's Fair ("Century 21"). What a great way to share your vision of the classroom of the future. They are looking for creative ideas that will be curated and displayed in August 2012. We all should be able to contribute with our new-found expertise. Check it out!

ReplyDeleteWynnie, thanks for all of the info you brought to the meeting! I will be sure to check out the links you provided. Great job on your presentation!
Saturday was great, just have to get our school district to buy into some of the new technology that would make kids and teachers lives easyer.

It's been great sharpening some of my tech skills...amazing what's out there to make communication easier and available! I love my new dropbox account, but wondering how to reach other dropbox people without knowing their address. Hum! I think I am going to learn more about WIKI next because of how easy it is to keep student records at my fingertips. I need more time to learn all this new technology, well it's new for me anyway. Thank you all friends that have helped me thus far in learning various ways to use dropbox. I encourage all to have a dropbox account because everything is so easy to access anytime, anywhere via computer or iphone! Oh two of my friends have signed up to dropbox because of its advantages!
I have used Sugarsync for the last year. It is similar to Dropbox and had higher reviews in PC Magazine when I researched it last year...not sure about now. Sugarsync was real "handy" last year when we (my family) moved to Panama. I contracted for 100GBs at $90/year. I was able to keep many of my files and all of the pictures/videos I was taking in the cloud. I was also able to make pictures and videos available to friends and my students back here in Seattle. I was able to send a high volume video production to my students for a program ceremony. It also backed up all of my files when my netbook crashed half way through the trip.
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone! Was nice putting faces to names the other day. Another update on Turnitin ... I am too soft! Kids who did not turn in their work within the appropriate amount of time were locked out. This caused them to be unable to do the peer editing in the lab the next day. I then reopened the assignment and allowed those kids to resubmit for late points. After the peer revisions, the kids were to back into their folders and read the two sets of anonymous comments -- many couldn't access the comments frustrating them as their final drafts were due the next day. YEAH ME ... more frustrated and angry emails the next day. I love starting my day like this ... NOT! Take care all .. I haven't even gotten to the part when I actually get to comment and assess their papers. Lets see what bumps in the road I come up against! ARRGH!
