Weak 15: The End of Your Techno-Palooza!


YOU MADE IT. . .Assuming the movies are coming along well and you haven't drowned in the TaskStream, you have finished the requirements of the course. I hope your experience was an enjoyable one.


This week:
finish the movies. . .upload all of your artifacts, write your TaskStream narratives. . .and ask for help if you need it! I have pretty much seen most of your narratives for NETS-I and you should be well on your way to finishing the rest of the narratives. When your movie is finished, call me over so I can upload it to my hard drive. . .I need you to export your movie as a full-quality DV for me.

Next Week: We will watch your movies, eat popcorn (if someone brings it ;-), and polish up TaskStream! And, of course, we must do those pesky evaluations.

This week's Question: What has been your favorite assignment this semester? Explain.

Week Fourteen: Would a YouTubeTop be Appropriate for the Prom?


Almost Finished!!
You should be making your movies, writing your TaskStream narratives, and catching up on whatever is giving you the most stress. Don't forget that the movies need to be data driven (i.e. do your research!!).

I expect that all revisions are to be finished ASAP and I should get everything graded very soon.

Your journals are due soon (April 23-tomorrow), so don't forget those!

Let me know if there is anything that you have turned in but have not received a grade.

This week's question: What haven't you learned that you wished you had? If there was one thing I could still teach you, what would it be?

Week 13: Is it We or Time Who Flies When We're Having Fun?




Wow, we are almost finished!! I expect that you are fairly well caught up with all of your work.

This week will work on finishing the iMovie Software Proficiency and then I will introduce the movie project and give you time to collaborate with your peers!! Please bring headphones if you have them ;-)


Journals: I just realized, okay, someone told me last week in class, that the L&L March issue is actually a March/April issue. I was waiting for the April issue and thought it was never going to arrive. . .well, it isn't :-(
I am going to propose some possible journals


Journal 9:
It's from the latest issue of The Journal "Are Schools Inhibiting 21st Century Learning?" by Dave Nagel


Journal 10:
This is from Edutopia, "Disabled Bodies, Able Minds: Giving Voice, Movement, and Independence to the Physically Challenged," by Diane Curtis

This week's Question: Dog, Cat, other, no pet? Explain. (I pick my dog Francis!!)
