Ignite2

Check out this SlideShare Presentation: I couldn't upload through google docs, so I did it through slide share.

Ignite21. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:
a. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness
b. engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources
c. promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students’ conceptual understanding and thinking, planning,
and creative processes
d. model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual
environments
2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessments incorporating contemporary tools and resources to
maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:
a. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity
b. 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
c. customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using
digital tools and resources
d. provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology
standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching
3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Teachers:
a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations
b. collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation
c. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats
d. model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information
resources to support research and learning

This assignment covered many standards. You had to be creative to get your point across in the given format, by posting it for the world to see on google docs, or slide share it was a way of communicating information to community, and posting on our blogs and the discussion boards about the assignment is a form of collaboration with other students, and our professor.

Ignite presentation

I did a new presentation. This one is stressing the importance of using web 2.0 in the classroom. To view it on slide share click here. It changed my font again, and am wondering if there is a way to fix this????

google embed

My pictures under what makes an outsider are suppose to come in one at a time and then exit, but it doesn't let the transitions work.
Standards:
1c. promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students’ conceptual understanding and thinking, planning,
and creative processes
2a. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity
3a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations
4d. develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using
digital-age communication and collaboration tools
This assignment as all have allowed us to use collaborative tools such as the blog, discussion board, google docs to reflect on our learning. We had to design a powerpoint and learn how to embed it in our blog which promoted student learning and our own individual creativity. To demonstrate our fluency with technology we had to know how to use power point, and to publish to google docs. Our new learning was learning how to embed. When we publish to google docs, or use our blogs we have the capabilities to engage with people from other cultures since it is out there for the world.

Power Point Redo

I changed my power point so there was less text on each slide. Still disappointed that slide share doesn't show my transitions, and it changed my font. To view click here.

google imbed

powerpoint

I published my powerpoint to slide share. I am very disappointed the font I used, and the transition for my pictures aren't present and it really affects the display. I did my power point as an activator for the novel "The Outsiders", if you would like to see it click here.

Wordle

I went to the address on the assignment sheet. I used the tags in my delicious account to create a wordle. The site created a web page of the wordle, and if you click here it will take you to the image. I typed the code the internet site provided in order to post the image, then when I went back and used the snipping tool, then when back to my post the code disappeared and the image automatically appeared. This is a cool tool for activating strategy for key words in a unit, or for vocabulary.

Jing 2 sceencast

I tried to do my screen cast like the example provided since I was at a loss what I could teach on a screen cast that didn't deal with computers. I teach at a facility that doesn't have student computers. I tried to teach someone how to publish using Google docs. I had some snags, but I think the point would still get a cross to someone watching. Click here to see my screen cast.
Standards:
3a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations
3c. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats
I feel these standards were the best for this assignment. Others were covered as well. In this assignment since you are teaching someone to use technology we had to have fluency in the program we are demonstrating. The new technology was using jings screencast feature. This program allowed us to communicate information effectively. It is difficult to verbally describe the process of what to do when using technology, with this program students or peers can visually see what needs to be done, which is very effective.

Jing

This is my second attempt at the assignment using jing. In the first post I created it strictly using jing, using the tools for that program. In this assignment I used jing, then took the save image and used it in paint. I felt that using the snip tool would be much easier, using jing took to much off the web site, and it took a lot of editing in paint to get the exact image I want.

Okay, I will probably be doing another post on this assignment because I feel that mine looks nothing like the examples provided by the professor. However, it is what the tutorial showed. So I captured an image the prison that was one of the major settings in Alexander Dumas The Count of Monte Cristo. My class is reading the abbreviated version currently for Literature class. The link above will take you to the image but here is the image uploaded to our blog as the assignment says to do.

This activity was fun, and short. I had difficulty creating hair, was wondering if you can draw on the canvas instead of just clicking on pre-made shapes of facial features. When I had my portrait finished I clicked save/email. I went to my email and retrieved the link, then tried to right click and save. It wouldn't allow me to do this. I then thought now what am I supposed to do. That is when I realized I could use the snipping tool to complete the assignment. I have learned something!! Here is the portrait I created. The site I used was the one provided by our professor, if you click here it will take you to the site.

Second graph for 2/5 assignment

http://docs.google.com/View?id=dgdbxnm2_7fcpxgtg6
This is the link to my second published document comparing eighth grade scores in reading to that of the national average. The link to the NCES site, and Kid Zone are in my previous post.

First of two graphing assignments

http://docs.google.com/View?id=dgdbxnm2_5sz3tkgcc
http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/states/
http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/graphing/classic/bar_pie_chart.asp?temp=7237660

The above links are first the google document with my bar graph, secondly the site where the statistics came from, and lastly the site where you can create a graph. This activity consisted of analyzing data for WV from one of the core subject areas to the scores of the national average. The third link is a site where you can select what type of graph best suits the data you are trying to display. The assignment no only ask you to create a graph from the data, but to look for trends in the data, and explain those trends.

Draw Something

On the previous post the type of image is PNG and can be opened with windows photo viewer, this is according to properties when I right clicked on the image I saved.

Draw something

I chose to use paint, not out of preference, but because I do not have the Microsoft office package. I also found on previous assignments that I couldn't import from works, that I had to put the snip, or print screen in paint. I use the box tool on the paint tool bar to draw the box, I used the snip feature to cut out things to symbolize each of the tools introduced to us through this class. I used the text feature to type the order that we used these tools, and the title for the class. My import was 46.4 KB and 1100x518 PX.

more detailed line graph

As I said on the previous post I used a different site for my statistics. I couldn't find that information on the site provided by Dr. Pierce. Here is the more detailed graph. It can be fond on the same website listed in previous post.

Line graph

I used the website www.edweek.org/rc/articles/2009/01/21/sow0121.h27.html to get the information on per student expenditure. Pennsylvania had 11, 252, WV had 11,150, Fl had 8,437 and TX had 7,561. I had each line on the y axis represent 2,000. The problem was I couldn't find out how to type that in. My graph is located here.

Graphic image-Sorry trying the same post again just trying to get the link as a word and not the address. So this is the same image a flow chart, created in microsoft word. I used the shapes tool, and inserted arrows and text boxes to create a graphic organizer to help students remember the process for writing.

graphic image

I thought I would create a flow chart of the writing process with an outline below. I chose Microsoft word because I am most familiar with it. I used the shapes tool on the main tool bar to insert arrows. You can rotate the arrows using the green rotate handle when you place the image. I then inserted text boxes to place the text in a circular fashion. Lastly I inserted word art for the heading of the graphic organizer. The program will open in Microsoft word. I use teacher created images all the time, such as demonstrating fractions, a t-chart for percents, and more. The size of my file according to google docs is 1024mb, or 13.4K. When I published to Google documents the graphics weren't there. Please comment if you can view the page in its entirety. Click here.

You Tube Questions

Three steps to get started with delicious are: go to delicious.com, add buttons to browser to add bookmarks, and be social.

Social bookmarking is public other people can see what we bookmark on our delicious account, because it is a website. It is easier to use because it is accesible on any computer instead of just one, and tags make the sites we frequently visit easier to find then having to search through a long lists of favorites.
