Google Apps

Google Apps is versatile tool that can be used by individuals, professional organizations, and schools alike.  Two years ago I started working with Google Apps in the school that I was teaching at.  A year later, our charter school converted to a full-blown Google school.  Our technology teacher became a Google certified teacher and we never looked back.  Google Apps replaced our e-mail system without changing our e-mail addresses that made it seamless for our parents and families.  We were…

Google Apps

During this unit I spent a significant amount of time using Google Apps, and I can easily say that I have learned quite a bit from the experience.  I did come to realize that there are many practical uses for my classroom that I can begin to implement immediately, as well as in my personal life if I so wished.  Any and all knowledge I can gain from learning about technology is valuable to me and this unit was especially useful.  The amount of freedom and self reliance I was able to…

Using Virtual Tours in Instruction

These virtual tours/field trips have been useful in a social studies class that I teach called Passport to the World.  Let me know if you find them useful or if you recommend others.  I especially like the Anne Frank House resource.

Capstone Two Session Four

Hmm,  I don’t see as clear a prompt for this blog, it just seems to say to read the global project stuff, read the digital citizen ship stuff, explore the sites, and then keep this in mind while writing a blog post.

So, I’ll get to all of that, but, let me first give you—Katie some insight into what’s going on in my life.  That is----why am I trying to be not too concerned about missing a forum post, etc.  I’d been experiencing some health symptoms that mocked a …what is it?  A TIA or…

Experiencing Free/Open Source Courses

The open course I found and chose to start was/is called “Digital History” through a partnership between the University of Houston and other supportive organizations.  It is a comprehensive course that covers the history of the United States beginning from the American Revolution to present day.  The amount of sources, resources, and perspectives offered are truly impressive.  The course is divided into ten separate and distinct sections and it allows the learner to choose what order…

Experiencing Free/Open Source Courses

Experiencing Free/Open Source Courses

                When searching for free courses online, many of the ones that I found were just videos on YouTube. Courses were on a variety of topics from core subjects to hobbies. I could see just listening to these to gain knowledge in a certain subject area. Many universities Yale to local universities offer these courses.

                I decided to log in to the fake student account that was provided to me by the lady…

Using forums/blogs/wikis to facilitate learning: A summary

When you work with VLEs/LMSs you deal extensively with the text-based communication tools that exist in all systems.  The 3 biggies are the discussion/forum tool, the blog/journal tool and the wiki tool.  Explaining how each can be used to facilitate learning within learning activities is a key challenge for the Learning Technologist.  What's really important is that you articulate clearly the subtle differences between these tools and what their pedagogical affordances are.

Online teaching training

在準備認證考證期間,偶然發現台灣師大國語中心有中文線上教學培訓,於是我報名參加為期半年的培訓計劃,其中包括了密集一週的線上教學課程以及五個月的實習課程。我發現這樣的教學方式非常適合我,於是下定決心朝這個方向繼續努力。
     While I was preparing the exam, I found there is a online Chinese teaching training by Mandarin Training Center, a subsidiary of National Taiwan Normal University. I took the courses. After 1 week intensive class and 5 months practice teaching 4 Thailand students, I found this is what I want. I decided to work on this…

Entrada nº3: Las metas de tu servicio

Lucas y yo hemos estado trabajando en la traducción de Henry Clay Estate para nuestro aprendizaje de servicio hasta el momento. No ha habido mucha interacción con hispanohablantes, pero lo interesante es que también estamos tratando de coordinar una visita con la escuela Maxwell. Henry Clay Estate sólo se necesita ayuda con la traducción originalmente, pero nuestro objetivo es llegar a otras personas. Creo que Lucas estará de acuerdo en que eso es lo que estamos esperando. Hablamos de salir…

Blog 3: Más sobre Greenville Literacy Association

Cada lunes, yo enseño una clase de inglés como segunda lengua que dura una hora y media. En esta clase, enfocamos en la lectura. Los estudiantes son de los niveles tres y cuatro, es decir que su competencia es de un nivel intermedio. Como es una nueva clase, ya no han habido muchos estudiantes en la clase. Hasta ahora, no han habido más que tres en la clase a la vez. Sin embargo, como los estudiantes que asistan a la clase cambian de semana a semana, me he conocido personas de muchas…

Muchas personas (usualmente más viejo) solicita ayuda con sus impuestos o con otros documentos importantes. Es probable que es muy difícil entender esos documentos si ingles es tu segunda lengua. Y es bueno que esos tipos de servicios sean ofrecido por gratis.
