2011 Web Tools for Science Teachers

 

 

An introduction to using the web for teaching and learning

Start using the web to enhance teaching and learning. This page is organized into three strands that can be completed over the course of seven weeks. The first strand involves investigating specific web tools that can be used in your classroom. You will learn the basics of these tools and exploring how they can be used in the classroom. The second strand focuses on creating a personalized learning network for ongoing professional development. In this strand, you will identify and interact with people and resources related to your professional interests. This personal learning network will provide an opportunity for you to continue to learn and share. The third strand involves exploring a variety of classroom projects that use web tools.

Announcements

I'll post general announcements here!

 

(7/12) A great question was asked in a mid-course reflection.  My elaborated response is here.

(6/22) Please, do not hesitate to e-mail (ebrunsell [@] gmail.com) me if you have questions.  I'm checking the wiki discussion areas and blogs, but it can be easy for a question to fall through the cracks!

(6/22) I saw this great "citizen science" article and thought you all might be interested:  Using digital images to find albedo.

(6/19) Time management:  This class has a lot of things going on.  However, it is meant to be flexible.  Set boundaries for yourself.  For example, I do NOT expect you to read every post on every blog.  Instead, set a time limit for yourself and read (and comment) on blogs during that time.  You do NOT need to explore every tool and idea presented in this class.  My goal is for you to "grow" - to dabble in a lot, but then get in depth with the tools that really interest you in meaningful ways.  If you don't set limits, this class quickly becomes overwhelming!

(6/19) Please look at my "update" on the participants page!  Great start on your blogs - I enjoyed reading your initial posts!

(6/16) 2010 vs 2011 Clarification:  Please disregard the file names for pages on this wiki - they say 2010.  I have updated the content (and will continue to add to it) on each page.  I also went through every link prior to class starting to make sure that they still worked...if you find one that doesn't, please let me know!. The days and dates described on the wiki are accurate for 2011.  I wanted you to have access to blogs & comments from last year's participants so that you can see what they accomplished.  I apologize for not clarifying this earlier.

I signed up for the PBL boot camp. Using the Gulf Oil Spill will be a great focus for the project. I am concerned though -- the July 1 post on the discussions says that it's sold out?

I just checked in and saw that it is closed to new registrations; it looks like they'll be open to people following along (auditing?) online.

Hmm... every time I click on 2011 participants, I get 2010. I am getting updates through gmail but can't see that I've posted anywhere. Thoughts? Ideas?

I think that is where we are supposed to post, but it just says 2010. To see my post I went to the table that had everybody's contact information, then clicked on the edit tab and typed my info into a blank square and then clicked save.

I just tried to comment Mary's blog on blogspot and could not figure it out. Do I have to open an acount at blogspot to be able to comment?

I had the same problem, check out the solution to this so graciously provided by Vee's post under the 'participants2010' page (the one with the table of our info).
