    Week 6: Digital Story Critique

    by
    These week I chose to explore TeachingChannel.org  for a video to critique. I specifically searched for videos that discuss deeper learning and collaboration because of this week’s Lankshear and Knobel reading. I landed on a video titled Deepening Text Analysis Through Student Talk. (For some reason the Embed Code wasn’t working) Based on Lankshear and Knobel’s appendix in … Continue reading "Week 6: Digital Story Critique"

    Week 6 Reading Response: Push and Pull

    by
    This week’s required reading was Lankshear and Knobel (2011) Ch7: Social Learning, “Push” and “Pull,” and Building Platforms for Collaborative Learning.   For some reason I found myself going back to the article throughout the week, and adding on Hypothes.is once more annotations were added. I think part of it is there are so many different beliefs … Continue reading "Week 6 Reading Response: Push and Pull"

    Week 5 Reading Response: DigStory Definitions

    by
    This weeks required reading Jenkins (2008) Afterword: Communities of Readers, Clusters of Practices discusses the importance of seeing technology and new literacies not just as forms of entertainment or distraction but as tools to be used in the classroom to make lessons more meaningful.

    Oh…Yeah…

    by
    Here is my take on today’s Daily Create titled Oh…Yeah…. It asked the creator to record our best and most dramatic Oh Yeah, and share. This was my first time doing editing via Audacity, and I have to admit it was pretty fun! Also, as an aside I forgot to blog my Daily Create from last week titled … Continue reading "Oh…Yeah…"

    History All Around

    by
    For this week’s DS106 Design Assignment I chose What Are You Missing Nearby. I picked this particular assignment because it felt like something I could realistically use in an elementary school classroom. To complete the assignment I had to find at lest four places to visit nearby. I’m currently living in Boston, and I love teaching history/social … Continue reading "History All Around"

    Week 4 Reading Response: Blog, Blog, Blog

    by
    This week’s reading by Davies and Merchant (2007) was titled Ch8: Looking From the Inside Out: Academic Blogging as a New Literacy.  The researchers study their own experiences with blogging, which at first didn’t sound much like research to me, but it really worked for them. As they explain it is a type of “insider research” (Lakshear … Continue reading "Week 4 Reading Response: Blog, Blog, Blog"

    Tour the States Daily Create

    by
    Today’s Daily Create was titled Print Out a YouTube Video. Using the supplied bookmarklet I was quickly able to print the Tour the States YouTube video my students love to watch during snack time. Not totally sure when I would use this feature, but it produces some really cool images!

    I LOVE a good sunset, so I couldn’t pass up a chance to post a sunset picture for today’s Daily Create.  Here is a sunset in Croatia-one of the best countries I’ve ever visited!

    Week 3 Reading Response: DIY Media & Project Based Learning

    by
    This week we were asked to read Lankshear and Knobel (2008) Ch1: DIY Media: A Contextual Background and Some Contemporary Themes. In this chapter Lankshear and Knobel explain understanding student’s media practices can help educators create learning opportunities that students connect to, and find meaningful. Much of what was discussed in this chapter brought me back … Continue reading "Week 3 Reading Response: DIY Media & Project Based Learning"
