Rubrics

Today we learned how to make a rubric in Rubistar. I made a rubric for the role of an African American Activist. This role has to create a Microsoft Photo Story. The rubric evaluates them on Voice Consistency, understanding the purpose, duration, and number of images.

Here is a link to my webquest so you can check it out for yourself :)

Webquests

Webquests are sites that are used to create inquiry-oriented lessons.

Click here to view the webquest website :)

Today we looked over 5 different webquests and were each assigned different roles. Then we discussed which sites we thought were constructed really well and which ones weren't, and which ones provided problem-based projects, HOTS, well defined individual roles/process/artifacts/evaluation, and well defined group roles/process/artifacts/evaluation.

Major Headache

Today we discussed out topics for our upcoming project. Of course I was majorly confused and made myself look silly because I wasn't prepared.

But I decided to change my topic and I did make a google site. I just hope its an okay subject.

My new topic is Integration: What took so long?

Topics? Grade level? Subject? Question?

I am still very confused on this whole project thing, but I am going to pick a subject, grade level, topic, and question anyway.

I would like to choose 5th grade Science, Solar system, and the question will be "What causes the planets to rotate around the sun?"

Late but I did get it done?

I know this was suppose to be done a while ago, but with me not feeling well and class being cancelled, it took me a little longer. Also, I am computer illiterate so I had to have someone help me out.

Anyway, this is my Habits of Taxonomy. I was a little confused about it so it might not be done right, but it is my view on it.

Here it goes!

Well, I hope I did this right!!

So I was suppose to create a visual ranking activity. Well, I didn't feel too well and missed class so I really hope I did this right!

My visual ranking activity is called "Important Teaching Qualities". I listed some qualities I think are important to have when becoming a teacher and I would like for the teams to list them in order of importance.

To do the activity you will need my ID ,Team ID, and password.

My ID is mstivason.

Team ID's are 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The passwords are one, two , three, and four.

Have Fun! :D


We used #2 of the standards, I believe.

All About Me Day

Today, we made a video about ourselves. Even though I do not have a facebook and could not use pictures of myself, I tried to find pictures that kind of explained a little bit about me.

Here is my silly video :P

We also learned about more Intel nonsense and we have a homework assignment on Bloom's Taxonomy, Marzano's Dimensions of Learning, and Costa and Kallick's 16 Habits of Mind.



We used # 4 of the standards, I think?

Groundhog's Day :P

Sooo did the groundhog see his shadow today? Either way, I'd just like summer to be here! :D

Today, we learned about Intel and played some game type things within Intel.

I think we used #1 and #2 of the Standards from the NET-S.

This blog was just short and to the point today :P

Another day in 2201

Today, I uploaded a document from MS Word and published it as a web page :)

Wanna see it? Just click here! :P

4 places to save a document and the pros and cons of each one.
  • Desktop

Pro: It's available to you on the main screen.

Con: It's only available on that computer.

  • Network drive U:// or virtual drives

Pro: It's available on your network.

Con: Might not always be available?

  • USB storage

Pro: It's stored on the drive and it's convenient.

Con: Hopefully it doesn't get lost!

  • Google Docs

Pro: Available on Google and you can turn into web page

Con: Not sure what the con is?

In the NETS T standards, I believe this would fall under standard #5

Electronic Documents

You can click here to view my resume if you'd like :)



In the NETS T standards, I believe standard #3 was used.

My First Blog Post Ever!

Today I made a blog for the first time. I'm not much of a computer person so this is a BIG step for me! :P

Also, we looked over what will be on out final exam, and discussed the ITSE NETS-T.

Last class, we made a delicious account, gmail account, and went over what we will be learning this semester. I've never had so many email accounts in my life!

So if you would like to look at the home page, you can look here :)


In the NETS T standards, I believe this applies #1. substandard C.
