__Thursday June 3 Assignments:__
1. Comic Life Introduction

2. Wiki Helen_wiki I read and checked the rubric, and then revised and rearranged many of my wiki postings to comply with the rubric.

3. Helen_dabbleboard bandwidth drawing as a group 4.Helen_standards/blooms diigo comments about cloud tools sites

I went to Blabberize and searched some projects. Having students create a Blabber to share would fit into the Bloom’s level of Creating. I would have students create a Blabber that would introduce themselves to the class. These projects could be compiled and burned onto a cd, so I could play it for parents at open house. The standards reached would be Creativity and Innovation (applying existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes), Communication and Collaboration (communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats), and Technology Operations and Concepts (select and use applications effectively and productively).

5. Helen_internet guidelines wiki discussion I posted a comment after CYN about internet guidelines, and I also had another post about ASD internet guidelines, questions I had, and additional comments.

6. Helen_diigo article read and highlight/comment I read a "Scientific American" article for homework, but couldn't get the highlight tool to work, so I cut and pasted the following comments: Scientific American - learning becomes better if conditions are arranged so that students make errors. -Trying and failing to retrieve the answer is actually helpful to learning. - even if you get the questions wrong as you self-test yourself during study the process is still useful, indeed much more useful than just studying. Getting the answer wrong is a great way to learn.

Then I created a "prezi" explaining my thoughts and ideas from the article, and adding some of my own ideas as well.

I went back later, on Friday, and highlighted the article during a work session.

I read the NEA-Turning the Page article about using technology to "hook" students into learning the same concepts they used to learn from writing.

Day two Assignments:

1.Helen_voicethread comments in addition to voice thread: I would remind students of the standards before we go to computer lab, as a brief discussion and reminder of expectations. It could be brought up during almost any subject I choose, as I integrate technology into projects for a subject (science, history, geography, geometry & math, etc) I'd repeat it as needed to both the whole class as well as individual students who might need a closer guidance during computer lab lessons I'd approach technology standards as I approach all subjects: very matter of fact, stating expectations, asking for students to explain expectations in their own words (and teach those guidelines to peers) as well as include it in my grading rubrics 2.
