Making Up for lost Time

I have not done much on this space for a while. I hope to increase my input now that I understand a little more about the possibilities.



I continue to teach physical science to eighth graders and my goal to this year is to have my students work as hard as I do. I am using a good inquiry based resource from the American Chemical Society, called Inquiry in Action: Investigating Matter Through Inquiry.… Continue

Using Music in 2.0 without Copyright Infringement Worries

Hi, my name is Grace Oh, and I head the education program for a company called Musicshake.

We own all the copyrights to our music so we can grant our users the peace of mind of using… Continue

inventories

The Paragon Learning Style Inventory test showed that I was an introvert, sensate, a thinker, and a judger. I already knew that I was more of a thinker that a feeler but I havd always though of myself as an extroverted person. My highest score on the Multiple Intelligence Test was interpersonal. One test says I am an introvert and one says I am good at communicating and understanding others............ go figure.

Teaching Creativity

I have tried to put more focus on creativity in my 2nd grade classroom.



We brainstormed what it means to be creative and the students did very well describing what it means to be creative. They said creativity means putting things together, building things, if you mess up you can make something new out of it, doing things you haven't done before, using different things, and making something new.



I've tried to have a Creative center for the students to participate in…

Sharing Student Voices with Cell Phones

Working on a tip from Kerry Mullen, I signed my class up to be a part of the Student Voices Inauguration Project on the PBS News Extra site. They were looking for students to call in to Gabcast to record their thoughts, experiences, and reflections about Obama's inauguration. I couldn't have asked for a better follow up activity to my first attempt with cell phones in the classroom (nor a better way to incorporate this historic day), and so at 7pm on Monday night, I pounced upon the… Continue

Innovations @ CES 2009 in Review

So after a two week hiatus from my blogspot, I thought I would share my review of CES 2009. If you have never been to the CES show in Vegas, to say it is overwhelming would be an understatement. I met lots of interesting folks and even had an opportunity to take a quick photo with The King himself. CES is the largest conference in the… Continue

Library Learning Steps

I have just begun the "23 things" program, an online self-help web 2.0 introduction. Step one is to begin blogging. I go to tech conferences and learn about many different tools, but do not have the time or take the time to really get familiar with them. I'm hoping by going through this program I'll have more facility with "23" different web 2.0 tools. As a newbie do you have a good tip for me?

Invetory Results and Reflections

Today I took two test that helped me gain a better perspective on my personality. Both test measured various aspects of what makes me, me. The first test was a Multiple Intelligence Test which was developed by Howard Gardner under the influence that everyone is good at something. This test presents your results as a number laid out over eight categories. Those eight categories are linguistic, mathematics, visual/spatial, body/inesthetic, naturalistic, music, interpersonal, and entrapersonal. I… Continue

Class begins tomorrow... somewhat new.

Aside from the fact that our country will have a new President and a new administration at nearly this time tomorrow, my greatest concern is in what I can impact and work with in the here and now - and what's closest to me - that being the Introduction to Educational Technology course I teach each semester.



I have to say that teaching this course for me is very exciting - because it's in this course that I can engage up and-coming teaching… Continue
