Meez

THere is growing use of avatars. I have fiddled with Voki and they talk about how foreign language students are using talking avatars to practice the language and show their learning to the instructor. Another one I have tried is Gizmoz, on this one I could upload my own image and use my recorded voice. You can then leave a message for me. To see examples, check out my blog in the right sidebar.

How Do I Staff Develop Th3/27/

How do I staff develop thee? Let me reflect on the 12 other ways.
I staff develop thee experientially, to the expressive, holistic depth of my soul.
I staff develop thee to the developmental level of every day?s cognitive student-centered challenges
I staff develop thee democratically and socially as teachers strive for authentic formative and summative assessment.
I staff develop thee with a constructivist passion put to use.
I shall staff develop thee better after collaboration.

Adapted from EB Browning?s How Do I Love Thee?

Tell US Secretary of Ed W3/27/

Share Oregon's Successes and Needs with the US Department of Education!

Please take a few moments to share Oregon's success stories, articulate the unique needs of your district and our state and the benefit of the cadre and the impact it has had on the professional development you provide in your districts/regions.

U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings is seeking ideas on the integration of technology in education. As the legislature is working on the reauthorization of NCLB, the US Department of Education is requesting feedback on the following questions:

1) In what ways has technology improved the effectiveness of your classroom, school or district?

2) Based on your role (administrator, parent, teacher, student, entrepreneur, business leader), how have you used educational data to make better decisions or be more successful?

3) In what ways can technology help us prepare our children for global competition and reach our goals of eliminating achievement gaps and having all students read and do math on grade level by 2014?

4) What should be the federal government's role in supporting the use of technology in our educational system?

To share your comments and suggestions, please click on the "Add Your Comment" box at www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/os/technology/roundtable.html or send an e-mail to edtech@ed.gov. Please share your comments with the Oregon Department of Ed by sharing your responses with carla.wade@state.or.us so that we can also make use of this information.

The comment spaces on the survey tool only allows for 1000 characters. You also have the option to email which gives you a little extra space!

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Web 2.0 Definition

What is web 2.0?

Web 2.0 is multi-directional, multi-publisher web that pulls information from different places, links information in user-created ways, and facilitates sharing and collaboration. It allows good content to ?bubble to the surface? through interaction with the world-wide community in a manner that validates humanity.

Posted by amylundstrom on May 11, 2007 at 11:31 AM in Meeting Activity | Comments (0)

Why is it important for u3/27/

? To be aware of what it is and how it works
? Students are using some of these items and we need to know them, too.
? It?s cool to use as teachers.
? More authentic applications.
? It?s free. Yes, it?s free!
? Because it?s free, students can use the same programs at home.
? Provide information about blocking or not blocking certain sites.
? Some sites may need to be blocked due to inappropriate content
? It gives teachers leverage; it makes your work so much more effective.
? Writewith.com
? Web 2.0 Awards given to sites; filtered
? http://www.seomoz.org/web2.0/
? Mind-mapping site
? Kayuda.com
? When teachers are aware of the tools that are available, then they can give students more choices.

Table 2 Web 2.0

What are the uses of WEB2.0?

11:08AM ? everyone started out talking at the same time (order was called by Jennifer)
11:10AM ? Communication between peers is important in the workplace. Students are driven by myspace.com and various other social web based sites. The majority of students have grown up with technology and the teachers must use this to their advantage when engaging the classroom.
11:13AM ? Sam and Cindy made a few good points.
11:13:49AM ? Mel?s hands are getting are starting to feel numb, but nobody cares at this point.
11:15AM ? blah blah blah, something about email?s and the next generation?s standards (Steve was actively engaged in the conversation).
11:16AM ? electronic stuff is not timely according to Jennifer. Steve used the nodding head in agreement (I think Steve has great non-verbal communication skills).
11:18AM ? Mrs. Arns tells the group to finish last sentence.

Web 2.0 is a collaborative, interactive free online environment wher anyone can debate, view, share, or create almost anything.

Table 6 Reflection

By our knowledge of Web 2.0 we can AT LEAST open the door for students to be exposed or introduced to it.

The tech is going to continue to advance. We need to keep up for the sake of our kids.

We can benefit from the expertise of the GROUP without having to be the expert in EVERYTHING ourselves.

We need to be able to address safety and security issues. We need to be able to influence, direct or lead the staff and leadership of our districts - related to these issues. Monitoring and supervising student use is (currently) too big of an issue - for most of us.

Web 2.0 and why we need t3/27/

Kids are using it. We can help them.
We should try to keep up with them.
Someone may privatize education by engaging students with this stuff and have a better turn around with less time.
Challenge/engage students.
To actually use this stuff we need to have another for of assessment to show it works.
Just a passing thought- to punish kids we can put them on dial-up speeds.

Web 2.0 Notes

Why is it important that we know about Web 2.0 and its capabilities?

Kids are using these tools, they are exploring and using them at home and we should be teaching them how to use them responsibly, effectively and productively, not pretending they don?t exist. We need to be teaching our kids to think critically about what they are finding on the web, and we can?t do that unless we allow them opportunities to use these tools.

There may come a day when our districts are NOT blocking many of these sites.

They allow anyone to create content, modify content, link content and make their own paths of meaning on the web.

Why is it important to kn3/27/

It's shaping the internet as we speak.
The need to be personal.
Our students know it; we should too!
Allows us to make our web pages more dynamic.
Keep people coming back to our pages.
Our students (and all of us) have a voice in the world. This is a way to be heard.
If you need something, it may be there; if it's not, tweak something to make it work. Or find someone who can!
We can make a kid-safe environment by adapting tools to our environment.

We need to keep up with what the kids are growing up with/language

Writing concepts ? collaborative sharing across specific hardware/software applications- skip over the desktop to the web

How do we keep up with them?

Infowhelm ? there seem to be so many things

Kindergarteners don?t view a laptop as technology. It?s just a tool- a convenience

Corner group comments

Too many new ideas, need to be organized into concepts
Need to keep up with the kids--they will know it
Cann't keep up with new tech--just learn something and it's out of date
Can't keep up with language
Too many ideas to use
Need others in your school on board in able to use
Kids are already hard wired to tech--they expect it.

Definition of web2.0

A web platform, which is a layer of the internet, used as a social tool. The users are creators, publishers, and consumers in a large community audience of participants.

Thoughts on Web 2.0

Equity in Access: Web 2.0 takes away the barriers of students not having access to internet.


Not the same Web:Knowledge of the web students are using now.


Decreases need for x, y, z software: Uniformity of software.


Relieves the pressure on the IT folks:Get me to the internet and I can do anything.


Gives students a voice:Allows students to have a voice.
