Understanding the Impact of Technology on Education, Work, and Society (EDUC – 6710)
Just wondering what your plans are to start off the New Year in your classes in regards to technology?
I’m trying to incorporate technology into every lesson I do this year, even if only in a small way. This upcoming term my students have paired up and the girls are making the boys read a “girl” book and vice versa. They have many responses to write along the way but their final project will be the creation of a glogster, an interactive online poster. If you haven’t seen them, check them out here www.glogster.com . I’ve teased them with a few of my own during the month of December and now they are eager to give them a try. We’ve already discussed how neat it will be to view the posters and solicit feedback that can then be made into changes unlike a traditional cut & paste poster that once it’s done, it’s done. Students will be able to peer edit and share their creations – their goal is to make a magazine cover that would appeal to their protagonist. I’ll keep you posted on how they turn out and will post a few to show you! In the meantime, here is the glogster holiday I made this year. Provost Family Holiday Card 2009
