21st Century Learning: February 2011
http://chlittech.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Inquiry via the Web. Last semester I was introduced to, and spent time navigating, WebQuests- so I decided to explore the world of ThinkQuests. Also, after watching the Dr. Donald Leu's informative videos I was left slightly confused regarding the difference between a WebQuest and ThinkQuest. And furthermore, why a teacher would choose to use one technology over the other. Using the ThinkQuest website. I choose to further investigate a ThinkQuest called " Forget Me Not.

21st Century Learning: For Free!
http://chlittech.blogspot.com/2011/03/for-free.html
Tuesday, March 22, 2011. The readings this week also discussed the potential to link resources for students and parents on websites. This is a link that allows you to search for thousands of public domain books. I think this would be an excellent incentive for student literature-based experiences (Baker 2007). This might even come in handy when searching for supplementary literature during units, an online literature experience. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). All About the Visuals.

21st Century Learning: Final final thought!
http://chlittech.blogspot.com/2011/04/final-final-thought.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. During the online presentation four people visited our typewith.me space. I visited two classmates pages. I felt a little overwhelmed- trying to chat with the authors and maintain our page. But, I thoroughly enjoyed scanning through my peers' pages. Even though it seemed overwhelming- I definitely participated in some valuable conversations. I think it could have gone just as well if we meet in class. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

21st Century Learning: All About the Visuals
http://chlittech.blogspot.com/2011/03/all-about-visuals.html
Wednesday, March 2, 2011. All About the Visuals. This is the what I wrote]. During student teaching I used comic strips during a grammar unit on dictation. The activity for the "regular" class, I did not rewrite any of the conversation- instead we worked in partners then shared with a class. course I can't find the original comic strip, but any would work for this activity. T. His is one of several ways to incorporate comics into grammar lesson to motivate children through less traditional text structure.

21st Century Learning: Skype
http://chlittech.blogspot.com/2011/04/skype.html
Saturday, April 2, 2011. I Skyped with Sarah this week, my second ever using Skype. I think this is a great collaboration tool for students to use with each other- or for a teacher to use with students. During student teaching my teacher told me she used Skype the year before with her class- the students discussed a text with a class from another school. Everyone loved the experience, the students especially enjoyed the authentic audience it provided. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

An organization dedicated to creating documentaries about children soldiers. Involved in the war. In Africa. Through art and media the founders, and staff, raise awareness for these “invisible children.”. Also reflect on issues, worldwide, that affect the progress of ending war and aiding relief in Africa. Will add video clips and other tid.
