Day 12 2/25/10

In class we made a hypermedia quiz using powerpoint. In this quiz we picked a question we wanted to ask and made 3 slides. On one slide we had sorry try again, on another we had the quiz question and on the last one we had correct. We also added animation and sounds to the slides. Tuesday we are going to embed the quiz in our blogs. This met the life and career skill of working independently. If we needed help the teacher would help but mostly this was independent work.

Day 11 Feb 23

Today we commented on a story written by students from another class. They started the story and then we commented to their story. We did this through bloggmeister. This met the standard of being flexible. This was met by them reading comments from several students and deciding on which comment they wanted to use in their story. Cooperative story writing met the learning and innovation skill of working creativetly with others. The student in the other class had to be open to the suggestions given by students in our class.

Final Photo Story.

I could not figure out how to embed a version of the song from you tube into the photo story. That is why the lyrics are in the video.

Day 9 Feb 16

Today we started working on our digital story. This meets standard 1c. This standard states "promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes." THis was met by letting the students use quotes and pictures that they want. Also, we found out that we had to post our video to YouTube.

Becoming a teacher video/ Day 10 Feb 18

Today in class we finished our rough draft of our video story. This meets standard 1a. This standard says "promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness." This was met by the students being able to do what they wanted for the project.

Class 8 Feb. 11

Outside of school my aunt taught my sister and I how to make Friendship Bracelets. She taught us different patterns to make. We learned a V pattern, and diamonds. We met standard 1A. This standard says, "promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness." This was met because we learned to be creative with the colors and patterns.

Class 7 Feb. 9

In high school I created a Powerpoint Presentation with another student about one of the poets or authors we were studying in class. This met standard 3C. This standard says "communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats." This met the standard because we communicated information to the students in the class and the teacher.

Class 6 Feb. 4 2010

Today in class we used a conferencing application to talk to 5th graders in Oakland, CA. These fifth graders asked questions about autobiographies. I had the question about putting opinions in an autobiography. I answered that since the auto biography is mostly about you so you could put some opinions but moslty not. This task met INSTE Standard 3c. This standard states "communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats." This we met because we answered questions the students asked through the Skype. This is communicating with peers. In my classroom I would talk to a teacher from another school in the county that teaches a higher grade than me. I would think of some sort of project that the older kids could help the younger ones with like answering questions. Then with that teacher I would talk to them about connecting to Skype and then the children could ask the questions to the older students.

Survey results/ Class 5 February 3, 2010

Today we used Google Docs to create a form and to create graphs. In the form we got to use any questions that we wanted to. We then went to a website that helps to create graphs. We used the results from our form in our graphs. This meets INSTE Standards 3a-c. Standard 3a states "demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations." This Standard is met because the students have to be familiar with technology before they can use these tools. Students know a good bit about technology already so it wouldn't be so hard for them to apply what they already know to this activity. Standard 3b states "collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation." This Standard is met by having peers, parents and other members of the community participate in answering the students quesitons. The students would be supported by the answers they get from others to use in their graph. Standard 3c states "communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats." This standard is met by the student making the graph and publishing it to their blogs. By posting it they can show others the results of their form. This allows others to see the big picture of all the answers. In my classroom I would use this same sort of activity. I would have the students ask questions that have answer choices, because it would be easier for them to see the results. They would be able to see how many people choose a certain thing. I liked dividing the class in half so that there weren't so many results that they had to keep track of. After doing this in class, I would have the students make comments on another students blog. The comment could be a suggestion on if the person should have chosen another type of graph.
