RRR vs. RSS

 

Collaborative Writing from wordle.net

  

Assignment

1. Think about how your teachers taught you.


 

 2. On one of the overhead sheets, or on google docs (whichever group you are) write down an example of how the class typically ran for a particular subject.


 

  Ex. - In my 8th grade math class, the teacher would go over a problem, then have 2-3 students come to the board to practice while others did it at their seat.

 

 

 

 

 

• RSS: Really Simple Syndication

• Anytime a change is made to a page,

a message is sent out


• Feed readers, like the one above, aggregate these updates

 

Change the color of a feed reader

(adjust the hexadecimal value to change colors) 

This will help.

 

Which had more relevance - reading about binary code or using binary/hex code?

PLN (Personal Learning Network)

• Your reader feeds are the beginning of your PLN

• As you read, you'll get connected to others and learn new ideas

• PLN connections extend well beyond your rss feeds (in person conversation, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social networking sites)

Assignments

I. Start (if you don't already have one) a google reader account. 

      A. Add the feed from this wiki and that of one other classmate. 

          - Use the directory

          - Talk to your classmates

      B. Find two more interesting blogs and put them in your reader.     

         - Use the blogroll on Larry Ferlazzo's blog 

         - Search on Classroom 2.0 for someone in your subject area.

 

 

II. Choose one of the blogs you've put into your reader and add a custom rss widget to your page on this wiki.  Follow these steps:

      A. Start at this link that we worked on earlier.

      B. By the box "Feed URL" put in the feed of your blog.

      C. At the bottom of the page, click the button that says "Get the Code"

      D. Copy the piece of code and go to your wiki page

      E. In the edit tab, click "Insert Plugin"

          - Choose "Productivity", then "Google Gadget"

          - Paste in the code you copied from the previous page

This website is a great way to bring material from the Library of Congress into the classroom. The site is a great way to connect teachers and students to primary sources.

Being a pretty visual/spacial learner, I LOVE timelines! I also have a lot of students who struggle with putting events that occur in the Bible in the broader context of history, so this site will be great for looking at timelines of world events. It's all about making connections, baby.

late! see how I read a rubric!

I am trying to decide what to use for uploading videos of teachers teaching, and I think this is the winner. http://edublogs.tv/ I want to make sure the content is safe on the site so I am modeling good habits, and youtube is too hard to access through firewalls at Magis placement sites.

Late, as well. But this is a great site for all sorts of material to do with Spanish - even an interactive mystery video online for new learners of Spanish. They also have other areas besides Spanish as well. Gotta love the British.
