Day 11, 2/23/10

On day eleven of class,we had a story collaboration with 5th grade students from Fairveiw Middle School. The students at the middle school started a story then we had to continue it, I had a to continue a story with Indian 3. The standards that we had to use this week were from 21st Century Framework. The standard that I think that fits this activity is Life and Career Skills under Flexibility and Adaptability by incorporating feedback effectively. I think that this would be a good activity to use in my classroom because, it can help my students with communicating with each other and helping each other with their work and they can even communicate with different students from other schools.

Day 10, 2/18/10

On day ten of class, we worked on the Photo Story,after posting our Photo Story we had to comment on the other student's Photo Stories. Then we had to posted our final photo story to our blog. I already did this on day nine.

Day 9 2/16/10

On the ninth day of class we had to make a photo story about teaching and teachers. We had to included quotes about teaching, photos, music and text or narration. The quotes I used were, "A teacher affects eternity,he can never tell where his influence stops." -Henry Adams and "By learning you will teach; by teaching you will learn." - Latin Proverb. We then had to save the photo story as a .wmv and upload it to YouTube, and embed the YouTube video in our Blog (posted below in previous post). I have never used Photo Story for windows before, but I have used Windows Movie Maker many times and these to programs have most of the same concepts. The standard that this activity meets is Standard 4A. 4A states, teachers advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources.

Day 8 2/11/10

Day eight of class was another snow day. :) So we once again did all of our assignments online. An activity I have done in my out-of-school life that has prepared me to meet a ISTE NETS-T is that I work at an after school program at Blackshere Elm. The students that attend this program rage from kindergarten to fourth grade. I have to comply with students ages 5-11, so I have to change my methods for each grade that I help. The standard that this activity meets is Standard 4B. Standard 4B states, teachers address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources. I can explain something to a fourth grader one way, but I have to remember that a kindergartener might not understand, so I have to constantly changing teaching strategies.

Day 7 2/9/10

Day seven of class was a snow day! :) So we had to do all of our assignments online. An activity that I did in my K-12 schooling experience that helped me meet one of the ISTE NET, was in Pre-Cal in High School. The teacher has us taking these online test of our skills to help us get ready for the ACTs. The standard that this activity meets was Standard 2B. 2B states, teachers develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress.

Day 6 2/4/10

On the sixth day of class we answered questions from 5th graders in California over Skype. Their questions were about internet safety and autobiographical writing. My questions were:

15. Should you lie about your profile just to sound "cool"? No, you should not lie just to sound cool. First of all lying isn't cool to beginning with, and if you do lie on your profile in get caught in that lie, it would be very embarrassing.

16. What is an online predator? An online predator an internet user who, who searches the internet looking for children to take advantage of. They exploit vulnerable children or teens. If you come across a person you think is a predator you should tell a trusted adult immediately, and never ever meet with someone in person you just know from the internet without talking to a trusted adult first.

This is a great use of technology to communicate with people both from anywhere, locally, across the country, or even across the world. You could use this technology to communicate with students in your class, with anyone that would be helpful to the lesson. This is a good way to use the ISTE-NET standard 3C; communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats.

Day 5 2/2/10

On day five of class we used Google Docs to create surveys that could be answered, and the the answers saved into a google spreadsheet to make a graph. (seen below in previous post). Each survey was two questions, mine was about favorite season and favorite music genre. Then we posted the survey and graph on our blogs. This activity demonstrated ISTE standard 3 by allowing us to collaborate with our peers to collect and analyze information.

Day 4, 1/28/10

On day four of class we joined a discussion group called ,Web 2.o and Schools - Discussion , on Facebook. The discussion group is a place where the class can talk with each other and voice their opinion in an informal setting. By joining this group this assignemnt falls under the ISTE NETS' standard three, Model Digital-Age Work and Learning, teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Standard 3B&C states: teachers collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation and communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. In my classroom I don't think I'll use Facebook. I consider Facebook a more of a personal social network to connect with people not a teaching object. If I had to use Facebook, I would consider using a lesson like this in a classroom were students can have a help discussion group.
