Student screencasting

In a previous post I mentioned how I stumbled upon 2 science teachers in Colorado who provide their students with screencasts of course material. Inspired by their success I began using CamStudio to create screencasts where I modeled how to solve chemistry word problems. I have a LaPazz pen tablet that allows me to write on my computer desktop and in microsoft programs like Word and Powerpoint. I posted the screencasts on Youtube so that my students could access them. I found that students…See More

Evolutionary basis of ADHD

I found the Discover March 2009 article "Are we still evolving?" by Kathleen McAuliffe very interesting. The article discusses evidence for human evolution that has taken place over the past 50,000 years. As an educator I found it particularly interesting when the writer discussed the possible evolutionary basis for ADHD. The notion that ADHD and the patterns of behavior that are associated with the disorder, could have at some point, provided our ancestors with a survival advantage is…See More

I just wanted to thank those of you who have posted information so far. This info will be very useful to those teachers (like myself) who are new to online teaching and want to expand their knowledge and skills to become successful online educators.…

Anne Pemberton replied to Cameron Brown's discussion 'Eteaching certification programs' in the group E-Learning and Online Teaching

A couple of years ago I earned a Certificate on Online Teaching and Learning from CalState Heyward totally online. Had I wanted to, I could have gone on for my masters, but I was at the end of my classroom years and facing early retirement due to…

I am also enrolled in the certificate program at UW Stout; the courses are asynchronous.

Do the classes at UW-stout have live class meetings or is it mostly asynchronous?

Eteaching certification programs

I want to start this thread for people to discuss or share their experiences with eteaching training programs for teachers. These could be certification programs or full-fledged master's programs. Programs offered online are of greatest interest. I know it is possible to earn a masters in instructional technology from University of Central Florida completely online.

Cameron Brown commented on Dennis O'Connor's group 'E-Learning and Online Teaching'

Hi everyone- I'm very excited to join this group and begin participating. I'm new to online teaching and the first person at my school testing the waters. I'm trying to get more teachers at my school on board and at least aware of how…

Cameron Brown commented on Cameron Brown's blog post 'Merit-based pay an Obama inititiative'

Professional educators have different teaching styles and theories of learning that they subscribe to. However, I think most of us could agree on what effective teaching "looks like." I think we need to move away from the notion that…

Beth Still commented on Cameron Brown's blog post 'Merit-based pay an Obama inititiative'

I had this exact conversation with one of the teachers I work with today. Merit pay sounds like such a great idea, but I teach in an alternative school where I may only have a students for a few weeks before they are required to take the state…

Merit-based pay an Obama inititiative

I just read this article from edweek that discusses President Obama's educational intitiatives. Certainly merit-based pay is something many of us dedicated, motivated educators get excited about, but I think the devil is in the details here...Of course I want to make more money and have my work recognized, but I have trouble seeing how this type of program would work. What criteria will be…See More

Thoughts on on-line assessment

I have been doing lots of research on on-line teaching and learning recently. I have gotten into the habit of downloading loads of podcasts from various websites, putting them on my 2GB iriver media player and listening to them as I walk my cocker spaniel pup around the neighborhood (http://www.edtechtalk.com or http://www.palomar.edu/atrc/FeaturesIndexes/TipsIndex.htm). I'm a high school science teacher and I remember learning about the hey day of German scientific scholarship around the early…See More

A practical and inspiring use of vodcasting

Posted on March 9, 2009 at 6:44am 0 Comments 0 Likes

I teach high school science at a small international school in Busan, South Korea where 90% of our students are ethnic Korean (check out BFS here). We have a substantial ESL population. The attention level of some of these students is very low, which I believe in some cases is linked to their comprehension level. I was inspired by stumbling apon this website that used vodcasting as… Continue

Second Life in science teaching

I have used several blogs to enhance my face to face teaching and have settled on ning. I like the format. I was hoping to set up a moodle classroom but was not allowed. I am always looking for new ways to catch student attention.

At 7:32pm on March 19, 2009, Beth Still said…: Hi Cameron. I am fairly new to online teaching, but I will share what I know. My f2f and online classes are basically two different schools. I use Moodle to deliver my online classes. Right now due to numerous constraints (technical, philosophical, etc) our classes are jazzed up independent study courses. The vast majority of the students are taking the classes to recover credit. As you can probably imagine, this is not the ideal clientele for online learning, but we do not control who takes our classes. High schools from just about the entire panhandle of western Nebraska can enroll students in our school. Students take our classes online while still attending their regular school.

I do use some of my lessons with my face to face students, but generally I do not have them do the same work. The work online is geared to be completed individually. I like for my students to work in groups in my classroom.

I'd be glad to talk to you more about this. If yo have any more questions please ask.

Kids do print them, but right now they only come out as a very clean 8.5 x 11 sheet. In the future, we will have other size options and you'll be able to order prints of the glogs right at our site. Right now, lots of kids put them on their lockers too.

When you are done creating a glog OR if you see one you like, you can very easily embed it into a profile by hitting the "share" button at the bottom right of the glog. This is available for most of the laregest social networks like facebook, myspace, bebo, hi5, etc., but not available yet on virtual world sites. If a site allows html embedding, then you can also grab the html and paste it into any site that allows.

Let me know if all of this makes sense.

Thanks!
Andrew
