Terry Fonseca replied to Tamara's discussion I need Feedback!"If the students will be assigned to either the North or South, why not set up a classroom blog (or one for each side of the argument) and have the students post comments depicting the reasoning behind their support of one side or the other. The…"
Tamara replied to Tamara's discussion I need Feedback!"Thank you so much for all of that. You gave me some really good suggestions and I'd love to quote you in my paper. This was really helpful though. Thanks a lot!"
Anne Pemberton replied to Tamara's discussion I need Feedback!"Tamara,
Not sure what age/grade your students are. I really like the idea of the game show format for review of the people of the Civil War. I have a concern that having the students explore on or the other side of the causes will leave them…"

I had to create a lesson plan for U.S. History. I focused on the causes and the people of the Civil War. For the causes of the war, I decided to let the students do a project. Basically, I would assign the students to either the North or South and they would have to write a newspaper article in the point of view of a journalist from that time. For the people, I decided to do a game show, asking questions about certain figures that I covered. I was just wondering what you guys thought about my…See More
Tamara replied to Diana Hansen's discussion 100 Incredibly Useful YouTube Channels for Teachers"My Society and Social Issues teacher, as well as my technology teacher, try to implement videos that go along with the lesson we're learning about. In my opinion and from personal experience, it enhances the learning experience. Videos give you…"
Tamara replied to Sean Healy's discussion Your Feedback re: Video in Online Learning"I think videos could be helpful in almost every context. Personally, I remember things a lot better when I have visuals and other sources to help enforce information. Reading from a textbook can get a little dry and boring. For instance, when I have…"
Tamara posted a discussionLesson Plan for US History
In my Interdisciplinary Studies class, I have to create a lesson plan for the important figures of the Civil War as well as issues that led up to the Civil War. We also have to inetgrate a web 2.0 tool in each lesson plan. For instance, I was planning to use a wiki to represent the important figures and a blog for the issues.In the wiki, the students could then edit and add other acheivements/ failures that I didn't mention about a certain figure. In the blog, students could debate about the…See More
Tamara replied to Michael Taylor's discussion Teachers and everyday uses of technology"Some teachers are just not willing to take the time to learn about new technologies and some just don't know how to integrate it into the classroom. Something that is useful and easy to someone could be just as challenging and useless to…"
Tamara replied to Andrew Pass's discussion Questions you think about when using technology"What questions do you ask yourself in deciding how to use technology?Will this be beneficial to the classroom? Am I willing to take the time to learn about this new technology? How will I implement this technology in the classroom? Will the students…"
Tamara replied to M. SESHAGIRI's discussion PRODUCTION OF VIDEO FOR THE BENEFIT OF STUDENTS"In my IDS class, my teacher puts up readings on the moodle site as well as a video to reinforce the information. It definitely helps me because it puts what I read in sharper perspective and backs what I learned through my readings and lessons. I…"
Tamara replied to Andrew Pass's discussion Textbooks?"In the future, there's a good possibility that we might not even have textbooks anymore. A good example of this image is the ipad. Thin, light, and a presenter of multiple possibilites, the ipad can replace a textbook and provide interactive…"
Tamara replied to Elizabeth Davis's discussion PowerPointless"At the college I go to, powerpoints seem to be the main thing teachers use to teach their lessons. Powerpoints are good tools to present main ideas and place them all in one spot; it serves as a good guideline for the presenter so they can stay on…"
Tamara replied to Patrick Lynch's discussion Moodle anyone"Moodle is a great tool to share files. My IDS teacher uses it as a place to upload assignments (ex. readings and videos) and as a lesson guideline. Under each date, he puts what we will be learning about that day, what we are supposed to read prior…"
Tamara replied to Diana Hansen's discussion Does technology bring connections or stress?"People always get stressed when they are trying to learn something new, and the same goes with technology. For example, when I first started using Facebook, I absolutely hated. I didn't know where anything was and it felt pointless, but once I…"
Tamara replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"Well, all three, in a way, are similar. Wikis allow the students to go in and edit other people's works, so if you're trying to get the students to collaborate and share ideas, that would probably be a good tool. I always viewed blogs as…"
