Here is the next set.
COMM 7712 – Week 3 readings
Most of these articles are from the Course OUTLINE. A few are new. Most can be clicked to open, but a few will
need to be pasted into your browser.
Again, some repeat the same information, so you do not need
to read through all of them.
These will be the primary discussion areas for this
week.

Lesson Plan assignment
Please create a lesson plan dealing with having you class do
something using technology.
Specifically, you should explain some aspect of technology to your students
and have them use it, show it, demonstrate it in some manner. It should challenge them, but it should be
fun for them.
You may chose to design the lesson plan in whatever
methodology you are comfortable with and plan to show it to our group as part of
the hangout. It’s your choice what you use. Plan on the explanation to take
between 10 – 15 minutes or so.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Enjoy

ReplyDeleteI posted the link to the Copyright Foundation because it give a semi-graphical almost chart
ReplyDeleteHaving a hard time using blogger on my iPad... The keyboard functions keep locking up.
ReplyDeleteThe CF site mentioned above lays out copyright stipulations in a way that I could easily understand. If information is easy to understand, it is more likely that people will adhere to the standards.
So for those of you who aren't in the hangout, do you want to start our own and then blog or what?
ReplyDeleteSince Steve's hangout was full, we had our own hangout with Christel, Tina, Lisa, Anne Marie and me (Jody.) We started by discussing the copyright issues which is something that we need to be aware of for ourselves as we do research and write our blogs, and for our students. We talked about the Creative Commons license. I am going to investigate that further and add it to my blog.
ReplyDeleteWe also spent a good deal of time discussing everyone's lesson plans which was very helpful. My lesson was on using Google Presentations to create a slide about a literary character. Christel had a lesson using technology for a flipped classroom which I found helpful. Also, Tina discussed using Google Earth, which would be a great idea for me to try.
I hope that people in the hangout post their lessons so we can see them. I'm sure there are a lot of great ideas in the group!
I enjoyed hearing everyone's lesson plans in our small hangout and hope to hear or read the rest of the group's ideas too.
DeleteCharacter Slide (using Google Presentations) Jody Ceglarski COMM 7712
ReplyDeleteJuly 22, 2014
As a grade 10 English teacher, the following is a lesson that my students incorporating literature and technology.
Objectives:
1. Students will be able to provide an insightful description of a character and support their description with examples from the text.
2. Students will create a slide in Google presentations with an insightful word, at least 3 images, and animation.
3. Students will present their slide to the class and explain their choices of word(s) and images.
Common Core standards: RL 3 (understanding complex characters), SL 10.5 (strategic use of digital media to present information)
Background: This lesson would work for any novel, but I used it with Looking for Alaska by John Green. Students had read at least half the book. We will need Chromebooks which have recently been purchased by the school. Students have had some experience with the Chromebooks, but not a lot.
Procedure:
1. Explain requirements. Discuss characters, review character traits. (Distribute handouts with “word bank” of descriptive choices.)
2. Model how to use Google Presentations.
Show model (from different book) Teacher model
Have students log in.
Go to google drive
Create
Presentations
Choose slide type
Model inserting word art, images (by URL), background
Model transitions
Share (with me)
3. Let students begin
4. Teacher circulates and assists students. Students also assist each other and “play” to make a creative slide.
When students are finished, they share with me.
5. Students present slides using the SmartBoard.

Also, during our video hangout we successfully used screenshare which was great to share our lessons.

ReplyDeleteHad a great talk with a few folks from ITDML COMM 7712 class. We discussed some of the articles assigned for this week.
ReplyDeleteCopyright discussion led us to talk about originality checking systems such as Turnitin and Safeassign. These systems are not free so it is unlikely that public schools would use them. I will investigate to see if there are free versions.
Although an intent of the systems is to verify that a students work is original, the systems can be used as an aid for students to learn how to cite properly.
We will be inquiring about the placement and frequency of copyright marks on blogs.
Do we need to post the copyright indicator on each page or is one mark on the home page sufficient?
We shared some resources that made copyright rules easy to understand. I liked the style and message in a particular animated video that featured a librarian and students. There is also an article that explains copyrights succinctly and uses graphics in an attractive way.
General consensus was that we need to start using copyright indicators on our own work and stressing to students that they use materials in a way that honors copyright laws.
Next, we talked about lesson plans and used screen-sharing to look at each other's plans, resources, and an example or two of student work. I was glad they shared with me as I have yet to build a lesson plan and now have their good advice on how to do so.
Tina showed us features in Google Earth that are amazing! Layers of maps that show volcanos, ancient history maps, and links from regions to National Geographic articles! It's a great resource that can be incorporated into class work in many ways.
Thank you ladies! It was a pleasure to "hangout" with you!

ReplyDeleteI didn't get to share this in our side hangout, but the edublogger blog entitled "Educator's Guide to Copyright, Fair Use and Creative Commons" had a list of sites that are free to use. For example, images can be used from creative commons search, stockvault.net or kozzi.com to name a few. Also, any video with an embed option is free to use too as long as it's not "cut up" or edited. Thank you Lisa, Jody and Tina for sharing helpful information in our group tonight.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! That would be great to post a list of those links on a blog or a website that students could have easy access to!
DeleteThe more I read through the articles the more questions I had about my own particular school district. I also thought a lot about the readings we did in our other class about motivation. Besides it being 'THE LAW,' what would motivate our students to actually adhere to Copyright guidelines? Fair use is an important concept, and it seems that with younger children, especially, who are driven more readily by rules and structure might benefit from the earliest possible exposure to this. It's a lot of work, though, and besides civic values and and ethics, what is the motivation for kids to do the right thing?
