Visit to Price Lab (Iowa R&D School) | Andrew's Annotations
https://andrewsannotations.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/visit-to-price-lab-iowa-rd-school
Visit to Price Lab (Iowa R&D School). On April 26, 2012. In February, we visited Malcolm Price Laboratory School in Cedar Falls for CCA. After observing the classroom, we talked to another teacher about her use of Problem Based Learning. PBL’s are a new form of instruction to me, and it was really neat to see how passionate the students got about their projects. As a teacher, this passion is what we strive for, and PBL’s are a form of unleashing this passion. Larr; Collaborative Tools.

On January 3, 2013. Well, here it is! The mandatory New Year’s resolutions post. Short and simple this year. Finish my student teaching and (finally) graduate. I know this will happen, it’s just a matter of 16 weeks of work and two tests! Get a good job. Once I get that degree, it’ll be time to put it to work (no pun intended, but it… works.). Complete the Goruck Challenge. Live simply and be happy. I think this one speaks for itself. On December 31, 2012. Spend more time outdoors. I read quite a bit ove...

The World IS Flat | Andrew's Annotations
https://andrewsannotations.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/the-world-is-flat
The World IS Flat. On October 10, 2011. For Emerging Instructional Technologies, we were tasked with watching Thomas Friedman’s lecture The World Is Flat. Now what does this have to do with education? When was the last time you used technology to interact with another classroom? Now how about the last time you used technology to interact outside of the classroom? Use Skype to meet face to face with other classrooms across the world, but I have yet to see one. Cellphones, texting, etc, are. We should be t...

Problem Based Learning | Andrew's Annotations
https://andrewsannotations.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/problem-based-learning
On April 26, 2012. As I mentioned in my last post. Project Based Learning is a new form of instruction that seeks to solve a problem, and present the solution. Dr. Z. Often calls it “Passion Based Learning”, as the aim is to get students passionate at solving the problem that is presented to them. Larr; Visit to Price Lab (Iowa R&D School). Global Learning →.

Lincoln Elementary Visit | Andrew's Annotations
https://andrewsannotations.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/lincoln-elementary-visit
On April 26, 2012. In March, we visited Lincoln Elementary in Cedar Falls, and got to observe their use of technology in the classroom. I really liked seeing the different ways they were integrating tech! The 1st grade classrooms all had a set of iPodTouches, which they got with an outside grant they applied for. Every class also had a mimeo board, which is able to make a white board work as a large touch-screen projector with the mimeo software suite. We observed students practicing math on it:.

Collaborative Learning Project/PBL | Andrew's Annotations
https://andrewsannotations.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/collaborative-learning-projectpbl
On April 26, 2012. We present our PBL in class next week during finals. We decided to build upon our original PBL that we worked on earlier in the semester and focus on the idea of being more than a label, with the “ I’m Tyler. 8221; video as a great example for this. We decided to explore the idea of student individuality and “labels”, and to have the students discuss what makes them unique and more than a label in a video using iMovie.

Global Learning, Pt II. On April 26, 2012. Our CCA class had the opprotunity to Skype with Vicki Davis. One of the founders of the Flat Classroom Project. In EIF2011 I blogged about the flat classroom a few. So if you want to know more about that, check out those links. I hate repeating myself. Larr; Lincoln Elementary Visit.

On April 26, 2012. In the end of February, Dr Z called off a week of class while he was in Jordan for a Global Education Conference. He was able to Skype into class with some of his colleagues from Jordan and Australia. This was a really fun experience (especially since it was around 10:00 at night in Jordan… I think they had a long day! Here is Dr Z’s blog post, which features some video from our class talking to everyone! Http:/ drzreflects.blogspot.com/2012/02/broadcasting-from-jordan.html.

On April 26, 2012. To begin CCA, we were tasked with creating a presentation about ourselves. You can find mine here: http:/ prezi.com/hbuqgz0frzfp/me/. I originally wanted to do a video, but didn’t have the time or know-how on how to set that up. I think the prezi with the short video worked pretty well, myself! I think this was a really neat way to introduce the class to each other, and showed off the creativity in the class with the varied types of presentations! On April 24, 2012. On April 17, 2012.

Help for Veterans | Andrew's Annotations
https://andrewsannotations.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/help-for-veterans
On April 26, 2012. Today in class, we learned about how we can help veterans in our community. Many veterans are homeless, or have a lot of difficulties after returning from their tour of duty. During my research on how I can help veterans, I came upon The Wounded Warrior Project. WWP) The Wounded Warrior Project provides several ways to support veterans returning from combat after 9/11. For the poster, I used an image from Goruck. Another great company that supports veterans through the Goruck Challenge.
