Apple Computer is hosting a Digital Video workshop on Friday from
9 to 11 and from 3 to 5. The workshop will introduce IMovie and will
include hands-on opportunities to use IMovie make a curriculum-related
video. It is intended for those who have LITTLE OR NO IMovie experience.
Notice: we have been asked not to
use floppy disks. CPS is afraid of viruses. (?) If there is a need
to transport files between home and lab, use ftp to upload and download
the files.
Practice: Why:
By learning how to use software, such as Netscape Composer, teachers
are able to develop class specific tasks, as well as possibly teach
students how to create web pages!
—You will be revising the page you made yesterday and creating a search
engine list page.
Practice Time needed: Less
than 30 minutes.
Your profile pages are linked on the projects page.
Click here to download the profile
page rubric into Word. Then open the projects page and evaluate
your profile page. We can
take a limited amount of time to make
any needed changes.
Types
of Web Lessons— AIM: The purpose of this
lesson is to introduce and familiarize teachers with a variety of
web-based
lesson and activity formats. — RATIONALE: After
reviewing these formats, teachers will gain effective ways integrate
technology
into existing units. Becoming familiar with what already exists on
the Internet--lesson plans, ongoing projects, references, Web Quests
and other learning activities--will give teachers a basis for determining
what they might use from the Web and what they might contribute of
their own. Having access to a range of strategies will allow teachers
to determine what fits best for them, their students, and with their
curriculum.
More about Webquests: Start here in the "Explanation" section,
which is all about the CONCEPT. Then go on to "Demonstration" and
the following sections, where we move from CONCEPT TO CLASSROOM! http://www.thirteen.org/edonline/concept2class/month8/index.html
Introduction
to Webquests — Aim:
To introduce participants to the WebQuest as a specific form of guided
online learning activity. To provide participants the opportunity
to
evaluate how they might integrate WebQuests into their curriculum.— Rationale: Education
is no longer about memorizing and regurgitating facts. Learners in
the 21st Century need to be creative problem-solvers
and decision-makers.
Our focus as educators is on creating opportunities for learners to
make answers, not to simply find them. To encourage our students to
think
strategically and take responsibility for their learning, we need to
throw away the "lecture and test" format and engage learners
in a way that encourages high level thinking skills. When implemented
correctly, WebQuests give students responsibility for their own learning,
focus their use of valuable Internet research time, and provide an
opportunity to answer real questions or solve real problems.
