EDU 505... What do you want to know?

In my quest to obtain knowledge to foster both my growth as a person and educator, I am sometimes frustrated by the shackles that are placed upon me by the professors who are in charge of furthering my education.  Most often, it is not their choice; but, that they are required to cover specific requirements and, thus, do not have time to venture far from such objectives.

In EDU 505, we must cover a variety of topics... IDEA, section 508, UDL, to name a few.  But, we also have the opportunity to learn about things that you want and "need" to know.  For example... 
  • creating, editing, and delivering video in your classrooms
  • making a presentation that isn't boring
  • creating a digital book
  • citing sources (loads of fun... but so easy)
  • claymation with a purpose
  • manipulating graphics
  • creating a wiki (and why)
  • blogging
  • moodling (huh)
  • wordling
If you want to learn it... and none of us know it... we will "figure it out together."  Our goal is to enhance the education that you provide... By teaching you, we will teach the world.

With that... what do you want to know?

  4. I want to learn how to create videos, digital books, manipulate graphics and claymation. I would like to find out what some of those words mean (moodling, wiki, wordling). :)

  5. Podcast sounds like a sweet idea. I would like to know some activities to go along with the technologies. I'd like to have some ideas on what to do with these things ready to go.

  7. I would like to know how to teach many more lessons with the use of technology. Blogging with students and making digital movies would be fun! There is so much that I want to know that I don't know what to ask for.

  9. Since I teach kindergarten I am looking for things to use with young children. I just received a smartboard and ordered an elmo for my classroom. I am looking for websites and other things that my students can interact with online.

  11. I like to teach art history through Powerpoints - I would like to either make them more interesting for students to view or come up with a completely new and interesting way to present this information to my classes.

  12. In this class I'd like to learn about things that will engage my students. I only have my students for 30 minutes a day - sometimes just once a week. So, I need things that are very worthwhile but that can be accomplished in short periods of time. Many of my students do not have internet access at home or parents who can help with assignments in English.

  13. I would like to learn more about digital books and video making. I just received a flip video camera and would like to use it more in class. The wordling sounds fun too!

  14. Please show me anything and everything, because I am clueless! I am interested in learning how to be proficient in technology for the 21st Century. I want to be a real role model for my special students and make teaching more fun my last years before retirement.
