Day 11 February 23

While in class today we had a story collaboration with 5Th grade students. I had a to continue a story with Indian 8, their story was about a dog and kittens. Using blogging to communicate stories with other people is a good idea, it's a unique way to different ideas about your topic of writing. The standard that I would use with this activity would be Flexibility & Adaptability, Incorporate feedback effectively. I would use this type or blogging to start a story and have every student input their ideas to make it one large classroom story that everyone participated in creating. The standards that we used this week were from 21st Century Framework

Day 10 February 18

Today in class we finished up our photo stories about being a teacher, we used a quote to base our story around. It was a nice way to look at teaching and trying to find a quote that goes best with your thinking of being a teacher. The standard that goes along with this is 1d. (Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity) model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments. I think sharing our photo stories is a good way to share your ideas with other students and help them learn more about topics they normally wouldn't know anything about.

Day 9 February 16

In class today we watched other students and classes photo stories. Some were very effective how they were put together and the message they were trying to get across was very well illustrated. Using photo story is a fun and different way to put things together instead of using powerpoint. The standard that most closely relates to this activity would be 1a. (Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity) promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. I would use photo story to let students be creative and use their resources to come up with a affective way to get your point and ideas across about a certain topic or subject.

Day 8 February 11

In my out of school life I use technology very often such as email, google, facebook, and skype. I use this things to look up specific information. When using facebook and skype I am communicating with some people that are 100's of miles away from me. When using skype I feel close to that person and it't more of a personal conversation opposed to facebook or text messaging. Facebook is nice though for short thoughts to express with your friends and family.

Day 7 February 9

Other than in this class I've never really used this type of technology in any of my classes. Any kind of technology that I have used has just been the usual things and most people do daily. Sometimes I collaborate with other students and teachers to create work. The types of things we have been using in class has been different and a learning experience.

Day 6 February 4

Today in class we got on skype with 5th grade students in California. They had asked us questions and we had to research and answer the question for them. The standard that went along with this activity 3A (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: demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. I would use skype with other classrooms to demonstrate how to use this type of technology in the correct way.

Graph


In class today we used google forms to make a little survey and then used our results to form a graph. The standard that closely relates to this activity would be 2A (Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments) design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity. I would use this kind of activity to put little starting activties for lessons and use the graphs to show data.
