Physics is Phun: Week 6 "Tools"/Project
http://statemafizz.blogspot.com/2010/07/week-6-toolsproject.html
Saturday, July 24, 2010. It really is very simple, but I love the idea behind it - I really see this as being such a valuable tool for my students and a great way to get feedback very quickly, plus it is SO easy to use and embed. I tried both " screenr. I have a couple questions that I would like to bounce off everyone. I want wallwisher and blog comments to be as fluid as possible but also want to make sure that they are appropriate. I was thinking of making it so that I need to approve the comments...

Physics is Phun: Data and Arguments - Week 4
http://statemafizz.blogspot.com/2010/07/data-and-arguments-week-4.html
Thursday, July 8, 2010. Data and Arguments - Week 4. Now, I can see that this model would be a great lead in to Problem Based Learning and Cooperative Learning would enhance the way that students work together greatly. I'm looking forward to trying this method out this year. I am also very encouraged by how much data is available for students to use. I found that the US Department of Energy has a bunch of data regarding energy efficiency and renewable energy here. So much more to think about now! I uploa...

Physics is Phun: Convinced about Twitter
http://statemafizz.blogspot.com/2010/07/convinced-about-twitter.html
Tuesday, July 6, 2010. One resource that I will pass on is Skype for Educators. July 6, 2010 at 10:43 PM. I just posted a similar sentiment! Great to connect with people from all over the US, even Australia. July 6, 2010 at 11:13 PM. I totally agree with all you wrote! I found it difficult checking out resources, bookmarking them with Diigo, and then trying to read through all the posts I missed in 30 sec! Oh well, I know better for next time and will hopefully be able to participate more. Week 5 - Blogs...

The Prep Room: Final Project
http://thepreproom.blogspot.com/2010/07/final-project.html
Monday, July 26, 2010. For my final project I decided to create a blog for my 8th grade physical science class as well as my 9th biology class. I teach 2 sections of 8th grade, so I have a total of 28 students. In 9th grade I teach a selective honors section of only 14. Because of this difference in numbers, my approach to the class blog varied from grade to grade. Here is a link to the class blog: State What Matters. Here is a link to the class blog: The Bio Hub. July 28, 2010 at 7:46 AM. Biology, Scien...

The Prep Room: September 2010
http://thepreproom.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 6, 2010. Okay I'm on the two day countdown and I'm trying to figure out the best way to smoothly incorporate all of my knew knowledge into my curriculum. I've decided that all my ninth grade students will all create their own personal blogs this year. These sites will serve as personal portfolios, but will also be a place for peer review and discussion. Here in lies my dilemma.do i have them create blogs prior to teaching any content? This makes me nervous.Any thoughts?

Physics is Phun: Wallwisher, websites and embeded blog amazingness!
http://statemafizz.blogspot.com/2010/07/wallwisher-websites-and-embeded-blog.html
Friday, July 16, 2010. Wallwisher, websites and embeded blog amazingness! I love it when you have a vision in your mind about how you want something to work and it actually works! I had that experience this week, almost perfectly (like 95% perfect! I went through the list of the top 20 online tools that was on our course page here. Ok not MY amazingness, the web's amazingness. The students can even comment right on the page without having to link to the webpage and open a new tab or window! 3 Just use on...

The Prep Room: June 2010
http://thepreproom.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 30, 2010. A Shift in Mindset; Storytelling as a Learning Tool in Science. As a read through this week's assignments and started to mess around with a few of the recommended tools, so many applications started streaming through my brain. The possibilities are truly endless! Another thought is using this application as a replacement for a lab write-up. What if students had to video record a lab taking place and then go back and add a voice thread. Saturday, June 26, 2010. I want to play aro...

The Prep Room: So Much More than a "Shiny Object": A stream of consciousness reflection on the benefits of blogging in the classroom
http://thepreproom.blogspot.com/2010/07/so-much-more-than-shiny-object-stream.html
Wednesday, July 14, 2010. So Much More than a "Shiny Object": A stream of consciousness reflection on the benefits of blogging in the classroom. I also really appreciated the persuasive argument that Eric presented in favor of these types of tools in both the powerpoint presentation. That he shared with us via slideshare. As well as in the journal article he co-authored entitled "Investigating the Impact of Weekly Weblog Assignments on the Learning Environment of a Secondary Biology Course". Everything y...
