Teaching Online Ethics

Image
By
"So how do we as educators help students respect other people's work and not abuse it in this era of accessible information? The answer is, of course, to teach ethical academic behavior in a targeted way, to model it yourself, and to hold students accountable."...see Heather Wolpert-Gawron's blog post.

This is a great resource, she includes a scavenger hunt that she uses with her students.

    It is a very interesting idea of the value of information in relation to its ease of access.

    The issue of online ethics seems increasingly appropriate for our tech savvy generation. Discussions and activities can supply students with tools they can apply to "real world" issues they continue to face.

Digital Storytelling

By
Digital storytelling is a broad term for an audio/visual “report” which can be a cultural story, historical biography, poetry, interview, news story, radio advertisement or book review, first person account or journal entry...any digital project can be seen or heard. I saw many examples at CUE, and they range in complexity from simple audio to audio with images to documentary “movies” with audio, video and still images. Some of the projects moved us to tears, others were humorous, and all were creative and intelligently constructed. Our laptops have the capability to do any of these things, and most students know how to organize images, sound and video already. If you have an upcoming assignment or project in your class and would like to update the format, please let me know. After a planning session with me, I will come in and facilitate the class while you provide the support for the subject matter.

LanSchool does Polling!

By
All teachers should be using LanSchool to monitor and restrict what students are doing in class... there are other more appropriate times to shop for prom dresses, work on art, and look at pictures of their favorite stars. But POLLING is a really great way to engage all of your students, and for you to use formative assessment. Simply use the VOTE button on LanSchool to send everyone a question, and you see the anonymous results as they are submitted. You can even prepare questions ahead of time and load on the fly so you are not typing them in while students wait. Please ask Laura or David (or Jamie!) how to do this. Or give it a try in class, it's simple. We have other ways to poll students , like PollEverywhere .com, but they take more time to setup. However PollEverywhere can be a web link that students access 24/7 for out-of-class polling.

Use Polling for formative assessment in a Flipped Lesson

By
I like the term "flipped lesson" for now, since none of our teachers have flipped everything they do! Here is a nice article about how using Poll Everywhere (a free online polling system) can give your feedback after students watch a video or uploaded lecture, etc. If the poll is well designed, it can provide information about what material needs further instruction, gather excellent questions for the next class, etc. Click this link for the article... http://blog.polleverywhere.com/flipped-classroom-assessment-with-poll-everywhere/?utm_source=Poll+Everywhere+New+Feature+Newsletter&utm_campaign=30d3b12e48-Winter_Newsletter_2013_Gen_Olders_3_star_2_2013&utm_medium=email
