did the in class wiki
If we don’t meet expectations we have a chance to revise our screencast/other assignments. Jeff Boyer’s comments will be trickling in over time. Comments were also posted on our iRLO’s and there are some common problems that we will talk about.
Rethinking Education: chapter 8 - Jackie Haen (slide show on Jackie’s blog) and Emily Gabrielle:
How schools can cope with the new technologies
Surprising tidbits:
- National standards…. HS students can get certificates instead of regular credits.
-Virtual field trips
-Use items like d2l
Customization:
Interaction:
Learner Control:
Pros and cons of national certificate:
Pro’s: - gets students motivated
-keeps students in school
-“Mile wide, but an inch deep” _David
-you’d be aware of what you wanted to do before you went to college
Con’s: -lack of exposure
-too early to decide what they want to learn
Scenario then closing quote
Plus/delta from the presentation
Plus:
· feedback to peers
· movement
· easily adapt from non working technology/improvisation
· reviewed the background information
· scenarios are always fun
Delta:
· Why didn’t google docs work?
o We figured out what we did wrong
o Click on share… change from private to anyone with the link.
· Need alternative way to represent…. Acting?
· Choppy ending… round up the conclusion
· Grouping by geography????
o Different color candy
o Card colors and punch one card and they are the group leader
Boyer:
· go to www.twitter.com/professorboyer
· click on the link under experimental school gets rid of classes, teachers: NPR
o This article is fascinating. I have never been so shocked by an institution, and how it runs. I know if I was a student I would probably not learn well in an environment such as this but there are many students who would. The fact that they don’t have any classes, and their evaluations are based on projects was a really interesting way of learning. This kind of teaching environment would be perfect for students who do not enjoy working in school, or with other students.
Should standards be broader versus based on a community/state?
o End of course exams for across the country?
Scatch/iRLO
o We should have received feedback from peers. Now we have our iRLO due in 1 month
Consistent issues dealing with iRLO: (remember talking to Prof. Boyer will solve all problems)
o Is your iRLO reusable?
o Does everything reset when you hit the green flag every time?
o Go to control command
§ Choose when green flag is clicked
§ Use different commands
o For math… are the same problems used every time?
§ Consider having random problems
o DIRECTIONS
o What are you supposed to do after clicking on the green flag
§ Verbal directions
§ Written directions
§ Background with directions
o Have them come up once the green flag is clicked?
o text on screen should be visible for the time it takes you to read through it twice
o 3 perspective on evaluating iRLO
o Does it address standard based content
o Developmentally appropriate for the grade levels
o Is the project interactive
§ User control and feedback
o Draggable sprites
o Click on sprite and under the information ( region right in upper center) unlock the padlock
You can go to scratch-ed that is an internet community centered on the scratch website. Good website foe questions
Technology Inquiry wiki update (due December 20th)
o Take the Yes-Test which he created based on our annotated bibliography
o It should help keep us on track
o Is your name and or question linked to technology wiki page
§ Yes
o Is your annotated bibliography clearly identified on your page… ie… is there a label, text? font?... it needs to stand out for the viewer
§ Kind of…
o Did you separate and identify formal and informal sources?
§ YES… but make the bottom of the page more clear
o Did you include 3-5 formal (peer reviewed) and 3-5 informal (non peer reviewed sources)?
§ Yes… but should work on it more
o Did you consider the design of your wiki? How does it represent me? Is it fun to read?
§ No… L
§ Look at the number of fonts used... have only 1 or 2 fonts
§ One or 2 different colors to help add emphasis and separate
§ White space … think resume… readability
o Did you use proper APA citation
§ No…
§ The title of a journal article should not have every letter of the Title capitalized
· Title of the Journal is all capitalized
§ Do not include retrieved from _____ database
· Cite source as a print journal and not an electronic source
o Did you include 2 Paragraphs for each annotation?
§ No
o SPELL CHECK! GRAMMAR CHECK! PUNCTUATION CHECK!
For homework expectations go to lab agenda for this week.
