Rain, rain go way! I hope you are having a good weekend. This week was a busy. I created a Ning Network for the class as a way for all of us to communicate and share information. I believe Ning could be a great resource for a class. It has discussion forums, blogs and chats to help the community members communicate. Dr. Monaghan discussed the fact that Social Networks were growing as a way for people to share ideas all of the time. I have used Ning to discuss how I have integrated Storytelling Alice in my classes. I have learned a lot through some of the resources I have listed in the Links section. Check it out.

There was a lot to think about with how projects should be properly formatted. The book gave some great techniques that I am going to include in my lessons with the students. I need to redo many of my pages based on the proper way to do it. There are times that I worry more about getting my student’s attention instead of relaying the information. As I was looking at the questions, I think number 1 was the most difficult because it was hard to narrow down to one example and be able to explain how effective it was.

Chris I like the idea of using Google Document. I am currently taking a class were we have to collaborate each week and write a paper. This system seems like it would have been easier to come up with a good collaborate paper. I think I will play with it over spring break and use it in the next class that requires collaboration.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your blog. Where are you posting your assignments so that you can link to them? Are they on a homepage, or on your blog somewhere? Your lesson was great and the directions were very clear. Posting the standards give your students a clear picture of exactly what is expected of them. Placing the links for them to go to allows them to spend time actually researching the information from a site that you have previewd as a site with quality information.
ReplyDeleteI am actually posting my assignments on the school website with links to the documents. The directions are created through Google Docs which are then set up as a web page. When I do the 6th Grade assignment, it will all be uploaded into Moodle so the students will be able to access them through it. If I did not find the links for my Middle Schoolers, they would go to Wikipedia. Part of the assignment is that they do need to list their sources also.
ReplyDeleteI liked your approach for using Google docs. Thanks!
