Wow! What a week! Cristina and I were once again involved in providing an online course at Knowschools. This time the title was "Everything Google" (April 27 - May 02). Google is much more than a serarch engine! We covered an array of Google apps: (Google Docs, Blogger, Google Calendar, Google Video, Google Doodle, Google Sketch up, You Tube, Google Desktop, Google Gadgets, Google Pages, Google Reader, Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Groups, Picassa, Gmail and Gtalk)!

The course was held at Knowschools which offers classes in a virtual environment. It is intended for educators and one of their aims is to promote excellence in online education. We met a lot of really great teachers and we are now all Google experts (hahaha)!]]> <![CDATA[Another possibility/example]]> http://eduspaces.net/rddietrich/weblog/334869.html http://eduspaces.net/rddietrich/weblog/334869.html Fri, 02 May 2008 19:33:45 GMT http://theconnectedclassroom.blogspot.com/2008/02/another-possibilityexample.html



My newly formed group of kids at school (Tech Teen Productions) have decided to make another film:-D I came across this video and although it is way too long, thought that it would serve as an example for the kids. Can't wait!]]> <![CDATA[Earth Day 2008]]> http://eduspaces.net/rddietrich/weblog/320929.html http://eduspaces.net/rddietrich/weblog/320929.html Wed, 16 Apr 2008 20:49:03 GMT http://theconnectedclassroom.blogspot.com/2008/04/earth-day-2008.html

Another day, another Voicethread!

Earth Day 2008 (April 22) is just upon us. To participate in creating a better world my I have set-up a Voicethread so students at SDIS can offer suggestions.



Are these great kids or what???]]> <![CDATA[Voicethread]]> http://eduspaces.net/rddietrich/weblog/334868.html http://eduspaces.net/rddietrich/weblog/334868.html Sat, 05 Apr 2008 21:27:34 GMT http://theconnectedclassroom.blogspot.com/2008/04/voicethread.html

Today my students got what they asked for! I have been wanting to incorporate the use of voicethread.com into my teaching practice and wasn't exactly sure how I was going to fit it in. Then out of the blue an opportunity presented itself;-D Yesterday one of my students was complaining about the research that they were doing about our upcoming project - creating a newsletter. I told him that I needed to know that each of the students actually knew what a newsletter was before we began to create one. He then replied that it would be a lot easier if they just took an oral quiz. It was another aha! moment. All the lights went on at one time! I knew that I now had a real purpose for my voicethread and would immediately introduce it into the curriculum.

Here it is:
