This week we presented our presentation on RSS. I have never heard of it, so it was interesting to learn how you can collect all your favorite feed and place it on one website. I finish the WebQuest, which took some time to do. In the end I realized as a teacher I will be needing to plan lessons, and this was good practice to tie in technology as well. The assignments we have been working on this week was putting together a movie in Picasa. This was fun because we were able to edit pictures, and add effects to each. For this assignment we found pictures relating to what diversity and social justice means to me. We also started creating a movie on Windows Movie Maker. The pictures I found this week had to relate to what the conceptual core means to me as a teacher.
Picasa and Windows Movie Maker are benefical in the classroom because the students can have access to use technology while putting together a picture project and expressing creativity. The teacher can also use these programs to show off pictures.
The ISTE standards used are:
Student learning and creativity. We had to be creative with WebQuest because we had to come up with a lesson plan for students.
Digital-Age learning experience and assessments. WebQuest was a learning experience because I was looking up standards for math, and links to place under the Process section.
Digital-Age work and learning. We put together two picture videos using two different programs. The WebQuest also allowed us to learn to work with technology because we had to link different site together.
