Couldn't take the inactivity

Well, I did it again. I signed up for another course which will begin April 30 and run to July 27. Stay tuned for more postings coming soon.

Nearing the end

I'm just about finished with this course and plan to take the summer off. In September I will start class 3 of 5. Here is one of the components of the unit plan I am working on. I used Slideshare to create this.

Very Entertaining History Lesson

Working on my final Unit Plan

At the moment I am totally engrossed in my final assignment. I am doing 4 lessons on BC People you should know. The lessons must include multimedia, so I'm scouring the internet for ideas. The website I am looking at now would work perfectly for an Earth Day unit. Have a look at Recycle City

My first YouTube

Next time I will have the words stay longer on the screen.

Assignment 2 c'est fini

My webquest has been posted on my course blog. It was fun building! Have a look at my webquest here.

Loving RSS feeds

I used to move between my favourite blogs and sites to see if there has been anything new added, but now with Google Reader and RSS feeds I can review everything in one place. It's my new favourite toy.

Wallwisher

I worked late into the night working on Assignment 2 and have decided to add Wallwisher to my WebQuest as a place for brainstorming. Wallwisher is a collaborative tool that allows users to post thoughts on a common topic using electronic sticky notes on a shared digital wall. Each sticky allows images, audio or video as well as 160 characters. Thought I would build a Wall to play with. Go to this site and add a sticky by double clicking on the wall. You can change the "anonymous" name to your own.
It's going to be a sunny weekend and I am going to take time away from the computer to work outside. Garden, here I come.

Assignment 2

I'm working on my second assignment. In this assignment I have to develop a group activity that requires my students to create a multimedia product. I'm thinking a WebQuest. This will be my first and I am doing a ton of research. A WebQuest is an inquiry driven task where the learner finds all of the information on the web. I am planning to have students research an area of BC to visit.

My first webinar

Writing a sentence using subject and predicate

The sentence ending "exclamation mark" could have ended better, but I'm happy with it overall. I had 588 views in one day on the slideshare site. Guess this is an interesting subject. To do this I created a powerpoint, used audacity to create the audio, uploaded both to slideshare and then created a slidecast. To finish off I had to sych the audio to the slides and then embedded the whole thing here and on my course blog. Piece of cake!

My first flip book

I am working on project 2 of my Online Multimedia course and this is an idea for that project.

Finding a home for my work

I am looking for a place to show my progress as a learner and a teacher. Not sure if this is where I'll end up.
