Tiny URL Posting

I found this activity to be very useful. There are many times when I have difficulty with young URL's. I think it is good to know that you cna shorten them and still use them and have them produce the same results. The site I used was Tiny URL


 This is the orginal URL that I used http://www.jollynotes.com/inspirational-verses/favorite-verses/

The tiny url that has been created for me to use in place is http://tinyurl.com/4xrdutu

 Based on the the the standards I think this is related most to 3c where teachers relate things they already know and present them to others in useful and updated ways.

Reading # 4

Answer Doc



 The standard this most relates to is 1c. I feel that it helps us to relate things we know and put them in terms that others who are not as familiar with technology might understand and be able to learn new strategies and apply them to everyday things.

Online Graphing Tools Post 2

This link gets you to my chart that I created and saved on Google Documents that shows the trends in the 8th grade WV Reading scores for NAPE compared to the National scores.Online Graphing tool #2



 I created the graph using the website called  Kids Zone

 I was able to gather my data and find information on the Website called National Assessment of Educational Progress. Nations Report Card

The standard that I feel is most relevant to this assignment is 2d
provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching.

Zoomerang Survey

Here is the link to my Zoomerrang survey.

http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22CKHMCSQB9

I made my survey at http://zoomerang.com.

This is another very interesting thing that I have learned in this course. I feel it is also realted to standard 2. We need to have prior knowledge in order to apply it to new things and carry out new tasks. I am amazed at how much is available at my fingertips that I have not been accessing.

Poll Post

I did my post on what your favorite spot is. I enjoyed this assignment and it was very easy. I am glad I was able to do it and would like to add mor eto my blog in the future! What a fun assignment!

I feel this is most related to standard 2 because it is taking our previous knowledge and applying it to technolgy and making new products.

Reading Three

Reading Question #3

I feel these readings can closely be linked to 2 b and 2d which is technologies and strategies that help promote individual learning and applying many different tools, and allowing creativity.

Picassohead Portrait

Not good by Lindsay: "Picassohead"


This is the image I created at the link:

I really didn't have any trouble using the program, I just felt like I looked like a man no matter what I did to the portrait. So I am hoping it really does not look like me!!!
I would say this assignment is closely related to standard 2. Which involves digital technology tools and applying your skills.

Snippit Assignment



Here is the shortcut I produced. The reason I choose to do a snippit of Ocean City Maryland was because I figured I could use this in my classroom, if I were to have my student's research destination or places they would like to travel to.

I think this most closely relates to the standards in 3a. Using technology and recalling previous knowledge to learn new techniques and knowledge. I felt very much out of my comfort zone on this assignment, but I do see where it could be beneficial. I never even knew this tool existed.

Reading Assignment

Reading assignment Google DocHere is the link to my google document with my questions from the first reading.



I feel that the ISTE NETS-T Standard that this matched up with is 1a. As teachers we are encouraged to investigate and figure out how our students learn and what drives them. I think the cone method that is discussed in the readings helps show all the different levels in which ones learning can be engaged!

Diigo Post

Diigo

Well each time I work on a assignment it freaks me out a little because it is something I am very unfamiliar with, but once I get going on the assignment I start to breathe again. I knew this class would be challenging and I am enjoying learning new methods I have not been exposed too. The Diigo toolbar is very interesting and it is very nice to be able to see all of my bookmarks organized and placed together. The only other type of experience I guess I have had with this is using adobe acrobat so I guess I do not have much to compare web browsers to. All this terminology is fairly new to me. This class is starting to make me realize that I do not really know as much about computer's as I thought I did.
ISTE NETS-T Standards
The standard that I feel this relates the closest to is 2b because it refers to implementing new technology techniques and applying them to make things more familiar and easier to use.

ISTE NETS-T Standards
At first I thought this assignment was weird and difficult but once I got started I felt it was pretty cool. I feel it is related most to 5d. It helps us come up with ways to reach out and communicate with our students! New technology and avatars are really an awesome up to date way we can stay connected with our kids. It is important to keep changing with the kids and the times.

This should be a tool that students could execute easily because they already have experience from using it with a lot of social networks.

Educational Philosophy Post

Educational Psychology Google DocumentPhew!!! Here is my posting on this assignment! I had some difficulty with this assignment! I think I have included everything we are supposed too!!!

My Flesch Reading Ease score was a 66 and my Flesch-Kincaid Grade level score was an 8.2. I found this to be very interesting. I really did not know this feature was able to be activated.

The standard that I felt that this particular post relates to is the ISTE NETS Standard 5d. This talks about how we need to relate theories and feelings to what we teach and why we teach. I think this assignment called for us to figure out why we wanted to teach in the first place.
