You mention the value of colleagues as resou...Jody,<br />You mention the value of colleagues as resources for finding new ways to employ technology in the service of student learning. Just as your students will be using Web 2.0 tools, such as wikis, for collaboration, do you have certain channels that you prefer for collaboration? I find that only one or two of my colleagues at the school where I work are as tech savvy as our Walden cohort, and among them, none teach in my subject area. Our head robotics coach, who I assist with the team, has extensive knowledge of software and hardware related to his field, but really cannot offer any advice about great resources for English teachers. I plan to use online forums, in addition to face-to-face opportunities, to find and collaborate with colleagues elsewhere who have access to and experience with resources I have not yet encountered or fully exploited. I know I will enjoy collaborating with classmates in the wiki during this course. Still, I really appreciate some of the texts we have used, both printed and online, for the condensed knowledge they contain.<br />-DugDouglas Gauldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09488995009390108608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572215012226930030.post-40151004192366542242010-09-24T17:10:37.974-07:002010-09-24T17:10:37.974-07:00Jody,
You may want to check out CNN Students News...Jody,<br /><br />You may want to check out CNN Students News which presents current events from a student's perspective. You could have your students view and discuss the news together. Pick an issue and debate that issue on video. The students in groups would have to use their persuasion and writing skills to convince the class of their perspective.<br /><br />Students could also create their own wikis and use them as the vehicle to present their solutions to the problems they are investigating. They could use polling widgets, podcasts, and links as rationale for their ideas.<br /><br />Just some suggestions,<br /><br />CraigMr. Dellemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369019456376636993noreply@blogger.com
