Another week, a new challenge | hhousman
https://hhousman.wordpress.com/2011/04/01/another-week-a-new-challenge
Another week, a new challenge. It was important to let the students know exactly what I expected them to do. To meet this I designed a “Your Task” page so that I can clearly outline what my requirements were and how they would be measured. I will be including a Scoring Rubric as a resource but have not completed that yet. However, before they approached One True Media. My Curriculum Page will be required to include a Lesson Plan. I am researching what I think would be best and will add that later. I also...

Online identities are here to stay | hhousman
https://hhousman.wordpress.com/2011/02/25/online-identities-are-here-to-stay
Online identities are here to stay. On a lighter note, I had no idea there were so many interested parties out there who would help me keep my reputation in tact. Knowing that we sign away so many of our privacy when we check the “I agree” to the many websites we subscribe to, how can we really protect ourselves? After all Google and Facebook exist to make a profit. They have so many advertisers. What, in turn, do they provide the advertisers? Well, I decided I could either join Reputation.com. I really ...

The question of whether or not to allow students and teachers access to the web-based tools and content that would be appropriate for instruction comes down to how we filter and restrict multiple Internet sites, and what effect that has on learning and teaching.

https://beyondoverheadprojectors.wordpress.com/2011/04/10/investigating-scrooge-ar6
Exploring educational technology beyond Vis-A-Vis' and ink-stained fingers. In addition to the fire-able offenses outlined in our contracts and that lovely three hour ethics lecture we get when hired, there are a few classroom practice sins that we never quite confess to. We scoff, we claim we would never be so unprofessional, but we all have those skeletons lurking in our walk-in closets. For my example, I chose to create a Prezi looking at the change in Ebenezer Scrooge, the main character in A Christm...

Prezi? Getting better. | hhousman
https://hhousman.wordpress.com/2011/04/08/prezi-getting-better
Here is my story: JFK Prezi Example. Another week, a new challenge. Apr 10, 2011. Ok, I love your prezi you put so much time and thought into it! The problem I saw is that it was informative, not really a story. I know this is the hard part because isn’t all history a story don’t forget the four C’s, (continuum, cause, cognition, and credible). I was reminded by reading http:/ blogs.trinityprep.org/edtech/2011/04/09/the-chromosome-dance/. Apr 15, 2011. Apr 15, 2011. Apr 15, 2011. Enter your comment here.
