You might be interested in the new book, The Passion-Driven Classroom: A Framework for TEaching and Learning that is JUST coming out from Eye on Education. Here is the link. It answers many of your questions.…

Mr. Bentz replied to James Folkestad's discussion 'Help... computer lab / space pictures?'
This is my first year teaching, and thus I had no idea what to do for my new computer lab. I was given a blank page and allowed to do just about anything I wanted to do. I created my computer destination, from scratch. I enjoy surfing, and visit…

This might be an easier way to see the Webquests Tom March authored.

...and if you don't use a computer it wouldn't be called a WEBquest, just good curriculum.

It is probably a moot point since web 2.0 is not really a technology just a perception: "Web 2.0" refers to a perceived second generation of web development and design, that facilitates communication, secure information sharing,…

Nancy Bosch replied to James Folkestad's discussion 'WebQuests... 1.0 or 2.0'
The beauty, IMHO, with the Webquest when it was first designed was looking at big/essential questions from different perspectives. Student roles led them to different resources and after researching the topic from their perspective the big group…

I have created a WebQuest using a htm file and can not link it with PBwiki and get all the links to open. How do you do this?

Who's being educated? ME!

Posted on October 25, 2007 at 6:04am 4 Comments

I teach a course on educational technology at Colorado State

University within the teacher licensure program. We are eight weeks into the semester and it

has been a very interesting ride so far.

I must admit that I entered the class somewhat naively, thinking that my

students, being “digital aboriginals” would embrace technology, embrace a more

collaborative approach to teaching, how wrong I was…



Here are some of my…

SlideShare and WebQuests

I created a PowerPoint WebQuest template based on the San Diego State U. Webquest.org template. You can download this template from SlideShare and use it to create Webquests using PowerPoint. I plan on having my University students work on developing Webquests as an assignment and then… Continue

Hi James. I was wondering if your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Jim,
How's it going? Well, I'm teaching my edtech course in NING and it's going great. The students love the environment and the interaction is really good. In comparison to the wiki site, the students are posting more on ning.

I'm really glad you've been introducing the site. None of us know where this experiment is going, and if it has shown one thing, it's shown that age does not appear to be the predominant factor in using these tools. I think we often assume that just because a generation has grown up with technology that they will immediately "grok" the deeper levels of that technology. I do think your students are more likely to quickly try something new.

One comment I left on a student's blog, since she had arrived at the conclusion that she got better information from a search than asking a question on the social network. I'll find my response and send it to you.

So glad to have you interested and experimenting.

Jim:

It's just a text box that I update manually. You have to use some html code, but I'll send you the raw code for our sidebar and you'll see how relatively simple it is.

I'm assuming many of the CSU members who have joined are because of you--I left a long comment on the blog of one student. Did she ever mention it?

James,

I am looking for students and researchers, perhaps like yours, to look specifically at learning through online sound, animation, and interactivity. We focus on history, but that's a pretty broad reach and can use many kinds of technology tools.

If you all know of any research, or want a topic for new research, we're looking at how these things work or don't work. (Don't work to often for general learners IMHO). Any insight at all would be great.


Oh, and can you get my CSU parking ticket fixed?

No problem, I'm doing the same thing. Basically, I've decided to use my CMS tool as the primary course site, but I'm going to have my students build a course wiki. We will probably also test using Sakai--so I'm basically building my course in three sites for students to learn how to use. Let me know what you're doing, too.

Hi Jim,

Believe it or not, I'm actually working on it right now. As soon as I get it done, I'll send you a copy of my first draft. To get a sense of some of our projects, here's our course site http://www.itecksu.org/courses/edtech/pages/Assignments.html.

I'm planning on changing some assignments around to integrate more web2.0 applications --for example, using a wiki instead of frontpage to build the portfolio.

Talk to you soon.

Hey James,
It looks like we're doing the same thing. I teach ed tech at Kent State (OH). My course is online and we do e-portfolios, wequests...maybe we can discuss assignments and class projects etc.
