Your first task is to spend
about 1 to 2 hours investigating the web sites on
our links page. I want this to be an overview. Do
not worry about spending lots of time on any one
page. I just want you to jump around and see if you
have any problems viewing the pages. Please email me
if you are having problems with viewing any of the
main (or 1st pages) on this web site.
http://www.lima.ohio-state.edu/academics/education/ed_surfinsout_tech.html
or you will notice you can also reach this site at
the following address
http://lima.osu.edu/academics/education/ed_surfinout_tech.html
Your second task is to begin
with going to the following web site and
listening to my podcast on Delicious - social
networking. You will be creating an account, adding
some favorite bookmarks and send me an email of your
web site address for your delicious site. Do not
send me your password. Your website address will
look something like this.
http://delicious.com/your_username_you_created
** If you are not going to use delicious to share
your resources then contact the instructor for other
arrangements.
I think if you try this out you will really like
the service that Delicious gives you. You can give
your friends, teachers, students, parents and others
your web address and share your bookmarks with
anyone who has the Internet. This is a great way to
take the students to the lab and just take them to
your delicious account and they are ready to work.
Rather than you taking time to go on every computer
in the lab and bookmark all the sites you need them
to use on a certain day in the computer lab. Make
sure you listen to my podcast for all the ins and
outs of how to use delicious. Check out one of my
delicious sites below also.
Your third task is to create a
log or journal of the hours you spend working on
this course. I do not need to have a long
description.
- ie: Searching for lesson plan ideas -
4/2/2009 - 2 hours
- Working on lesson plan - 4/16/09 - 1.5 hours
- etc.
Your fourth task is to begin
researching areas that interest you from the web
site list. There are 100's of resources available
here for high school and Career Technical Skills and
education. If you have any
difficulty finding resources please contact your
instructor right away.
5th Task - Lets begin your
assignments for this course. I will be working with
each of you to determine what lessons or
papers you will produce for this online experience.
If you are an administrator you will want to
investigate the various web sites and write about
the resources and how you intended on inspiring your
teachers to use some of these techiques. Please
write a one to two page paper for each hour you are
taking for this course. If you would prefer you can
produce a multimedia presentation to be used in your
faculty meeting or a podcast or some other form of a
presentation in place of writing papers. You and
your instructor will discuss these details
individually.
If you are
taking this course for a second or third time....If
you are a teacher....You
are taking Surfin's OUT! Direct hits are IN!
- Advanced. You will need to include the
following information for each quarter hour. (you
are going to include all of the items you did
for the Basic course and write a one page
description on how you will use these resources to
integrate technology into your classroom environment
(or a classroom that you may have in the future).
- One lesson plan / including the Ohio Content
Standards, benchmarks and indicators (for each
lesson),
- Assessment
- Any additional materials needed
- Web resources used to support your lessons
- Plus, write a one page description of how
you will use these resources to integrate
technology into your teaching or classroom
environment. You only need to write one paper
per course. You are not required to write a
separate paper for each credit hour or lesson.
Documents
you may want to download as helper files. (Please
understand you do not have to use this format. It is
one that I use with my undergraduates.)
If you are
taking this course for a second or third time....and
you are an administrator....
You will be discussing your
ideas on how you can best present this information
to your staff. You and your instructor will
determine the appropriate tools and topics to cover
with your staff. (this will also be determined on
the hours you have signed up for this course as
well.) We have many options we can deliver and you
will be able to select from for this purpose.
At anytime you feel you are not sure what to do
or where to begin. Call the instructor or email.
Their is an answer to any question.
