Web 2.0 vs. e-learning… reflection

Previous statement… Posted yesterday.



“…the proposed research will not focus on the concepts of e-learning since I consider a fundamental difference between the learning practices and methods within web 2.0 social networks and the instructional nature

of e-learning methods. The concept of e-learning will however be

discussed and partly analyzed to emphasize the unique nature or learning

within web 2.0 social networking…

Character Poster

For this week's assignment in Educational Technology, I had to make a character posters using Microsoft Office's Excel program. My character poster included a picture of me as the background and a word that describes me along with its definition - both displayed somewhere on the poster.

To make the poster on Excel, I zoomed out to view the page at 25%, so that I was able to see the page lines (the…

Inspiration: a Propelling Power that Urges Man to Dream

Inspiration is the inner encouraging power that can push man to the limit of their abilities as they pursue their own goal in life. It is the inner basis of reach the desired achievements. We all know that a man with inspiration either from external or internal, could lead to the passion of a great character. When a man reaches the point of doing things with passion consistently, there comes the attitude in the level of integrity. But how can we reach the goal in life if we do not have… Continue

Character Poster

Creating the character poster was an interesting experience. I liked making the poster because I wsa unfamiliar with Excel and this helped me use it in a way I had not experienced before. Also having children in your classroom make a character poster can make things more interesting and personal for your classroom.

Character Poster

I found that using Excel instead of Word to create the character poster was much easier. With word, if everything isn't in a straight line, it's hard to manipulate the pictures, text boxes, word art, etc. With Excel, there's no worry about trying to change the formatting of the picture so that you can get it just how you want it. It was very easy to insert the picture, and move it to whenever you want and then insert text boxes over the picture. I…

Spring Break Safety

Spring Break is right around the corner (some have already began their mid-season vacations) and Kiwi put together a list of tips and faux pas for both students and parents to consider during their holiday. A simple Google search on 'Spring Break' will provide a myriad of pictures displaying both young guys and girls, half naked and doing things that I am sure most teachers and parents would not approve of. Of course not all kids and teens will engage in the typical MTV type Spring Break, but… Continue

Character Poster

Describing yourself with one positive adjective isn't as easy as you would think, especially when it has to be presented nicely on a poster. For my night class, we had to use Microsoft Excel to create a poster with an image, adjective describing ourselves, a definition of the adjective, and our names. This poster was to be laminated and 4 pages in size.

Now when I first sat down to create this four page poster, I… Continue

character poster

kelsey.xls

The character poster is something neat that can be used in the classroom. Not only can character posters be made, but other things can be made as well that can be posted in a classroom. I enjoyed making the poster and although I had trouble figuring it out, I had fun. I think this would be fun to do with students, but only if they're old enough. But even if the students…

kindergarten plant science

I'm currently an education student and I am going to be doing a class where the students are going to be moving around to different plant stations, each an activity teaching them about plants. Does anyone have any suggestions for fun activitties? Each activity needs to be about five minutes in length and simple enough for a five year old to do.

Thoughts on Student Motivation

Dan Pink delivered an interesting talk on motivation and the problems associated with extrinsic motivation. According to Pink, research has shown that certain sorts of extrinsic incentives or what Pink refers to as “contingent motivators” actually dull thinking and stifle creativity.MORE...

A Second Grade Project - What programs are newest and best for grades one and two?

Thank goodness for the techie in our school who helped me design a really nice project to do with my second graders after I had seen an NCSS webinar which promoted all the wonderful 2.0 web tools teachers can use. Unfortunately, most of the wonderful technology tools want you to upload pictures from the web. KidPix is an old program, but at least the students can draw what they really want to and add texture to the ocean, or to a cloud, etc. for a background.
