april 13, 2010 Elluminate live

1) describe the experience with elluminate live. My experience was Great!! i got all connection hooked upo, exept my problem was getting the headset to work. other than that, elluminate live is an amazing site!
2) What did you like? Dislike?
I like how we can communicate from far away, and that whatever we draw on the screen, it is all there. There was no secret!!
i dislike how the communication was delay, or sometimes cut out.
3)how would a distance learning application like elluminate, benefit students? I think it would benefit students, not only by collaborating with eachother, but also they can actually paste up pictures of themselve or work to show out to the participants.
4)What are some ideas that you learned from Mrs. Bree?
I learned that it is worthed to get books on lesson plan even if it is expensive. she also gave great site on how to collaborate with other people from a far or some sites to use in a classroom.
5) What would you take with you to explore in more depth? Why?
I never heard of any of the sites except skype, so i would explore all site in more depth because it my be a value to use for class. some of the site are
www.glogster.com
www.wiggio.com

March 16, 2010 timeline assignments

www.teach-nology.com

1) Describe your assignment? We had to create a lesson plan that will incude the timeline, and what my partner and i did, was we chose the subject social studies, and we created a lesson plan based on the presidents. For example we told about 6 history of the recent presidents, then we used the quizstar and rubistar to create are assessment.

2) What did you like about the timeline website?/ rubistar and quizstar.
I liked all three softwares, they were very easy to used, and not as complicate as i thought it would be. i am new to it, but it felt like i was already professional using the site. Great SITE!!!

3) How would you use these sites for a classroom assignment?
for the timeline, if it was first day of class, i would have the students do a timeline of themselves... For the rubi star, i really love this site, i would use this site for any of the students assignment. For example, presentation, essay, etc... and for the quizstar, i am so glad that this site exist, i do not have to keep pushing enter or adding bullets to my multiple choice or short answers, i just have to type a question and give a list of choice and then check mark the correct answer, then press submit, then it will do it all for you. It can also shuffle up the question, which is great as well.

4) How would you rate each software on a scale of 1-10
I would rate this scale a 10 because it did not give me any problem, and it also made my teaching career easier and better!
