E Journal 9 Playing With Skype: NETS II and V

Weller, T.W. (2010). Playing with skype. L&L—Learning & Leading with Technology, 37(6), Retrieved from http://www.iste.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=March_April_No_6_1&Template=/MembersOnly.cfm&NavMenuID=4516&ContentID=25508&

Don’t believe the Skype, just kidding. Believe the Skype, Skype will allow teachers and students to become experts in everything. Hook up a couple of cables and log on to Skype .com and you can have a live picture chat with anyone with a computer and a web cam. The world is at are laptops. Skype allowed this music teacher to have a concert with his honors band and the composer who wrote the sheet music, to conduct his music from another city while other people watched. How cool is that? After the concert was over the composer answered questions of why he wrote for the note to be played the way it was. Skype will allow teachers to become experts on everything. All a teacher needs to do is have the correct equipment which most schools already have, and find an expert in the field he or she is teaching. Skype the expert sit back and watch the students and the teacher become experts.
Question 1. What equipment is really needed: The equipment requirements were very minimal: a computer with a broadband Internet connection, a data projector, a couple of microphones, a webcam, and some adapters to pump the audio feed through the sound system, and a projector screen.
Question 2. Why does Skype make life easier for a teacher: Skype makes it possible for educators to seek out experts in their subject areas and invite them to share in the classroom or the rehearsal hall.

E Journal 8 Navigate the Digital Rapids: NETS III and V

Lindsay, J.L., & Davies, V.D. (2010). Navigate the digital rapids. L&L—Learning & Leading with Technology, 37(6), Retrieved from http://www.iste.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Publications/LL/LLIssues/Volume3720092010/MarchAprilNo6/Navigate_the_Digital_Rapids.htm

How do I as a future teacher make my classroom fun but a learning environment at the same time? This is the 10 million dollar question. To make my classroom fun and educational at the same time I will have to turn it into a Flat Classroom. This is a classroom where I will use technology to help out with projects. Flat Classrooms solve real world problems with real world technology. The technology will allow students to create problems and solve them. The most important thing as a teacher is to make sure the students use the technology for problem solving and not IM with their friends. This is the fine line of letting students use technology for school and not just to see whatz up.
Question 1. When should we begin educating students: As soon as they start using digital tools for communication, collaboration, and creation through connections online or offline. A kindergartener can use Skype in the classroom and learn about virtual communications. A 6 year-old can create a Voice Thread project and collaborate globally using images and sound. A 9-year-old can create a digital portfolio and invite peers globally to respond via the discussion tab. Digital citizenship awareness can begin as soon as tiny fingers tap the keys.
Question 2. What is the toughest part of starting a Flat Classroom: We use this analogy to illustrate that the toughest waters often come at the beginning of this digital citizenship journey. Our biggest opposition and hardest questions came before the implementation. Sure, there are still rapids we must navigate, but we are more proficient now.

E Journal 7 The Beginner's Guide to Interactive Virtual Field Trips: NETS III and V

Zanetis, J.Z. (2010). The Beginner's guide to interactive virtual field trips. L&L—Learning & Leading with Technology, 37(6), Retrieved from http://www.iste.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=March_April_No_6_1&Template=/MembersOnly.cfm&NavMenuID=4516&ContentID=25443&

I only wish I had virtual fields trips “VFT” when I was a young student in school. Vft allows students to take field trips all around the world not just to the local fire station, not that there is anything from with the fire station. But how cool would it be to have visited the Grand Canyon from the front seat of your 3rd grade classroom. VFT are field trips that are conducted virtually, over the Internet and/or videoconferencing equipment, so that students can learn directly from experts in far-flung places without ever leaving their classrooms (Zanetis, 2010). Even though these sounds very expensive, most school already have this technology, about 30% of school have it but do not use it.
Question 1. Which types of sites have these available for school: approximately 300 museums, science centers, historical sites, and similar organizations that offer interactive VFTs to schools, Onsite credentialed expert’s usually present live, standalone, interactive lessons focusing on a curricular topic related to the organization. For example, the National Baseball Hall of Fame offers a unit called "Math: Batter Up," which teaches students in grades 4–12 fundamental concepts that connect the calculator and the clubhouse while they learn, use, and interpret the statistics of famous ballplayers. Computation is the key to determining batting averages and slugging percentages.
Question 2. How do you get started if you want to go on a VFT: The first thing you should do is check around your school system to locate a videoconferencing unit. Your district technology coordinator should be able to help. If you find a system, make sure to ask if it is h.323 compatible and capable of IP-based connections (Zanetis, 2010).

E Journal 6 Classroom 2.0 Google Earth: NETS I, III, V

I looked at the tool Google Earth. This is a very cool tool. The tool allows a teacher in many different fields to be able to show students real picture of the earth. A math teacher can use Google earth to show distant question, such as the straight path compared to the path we take in car. Google earth is a website were satellite picture of earth are put on a site.The picture are in real time so one can look at their house or where a famous place in the world is. This is a great tool for History teachers, to show their students where say the Battle of the Bulge took place. This website can also show you pictures of streets, from the car on the street. When I threaded a question about can Google Earth place without knowing the name of the street and as long as you have a Longitude and a Latitude you can find any place on the earth, i also asked if the Military uses it and the said that the military has it own site. I really liked visiting the other tools on this website, and i liked the way that you can talk to other teacher, and educational professionals.

Copyright Internet Safety : NETS I, III, IV and V

As a future teacher I should be a role model for my students. I should be able to teach them Internet safety. In the era of technology that we live in today the world with new social standards, legal guidelines, and ethical obligations. As a teacher using technology in the classroom we need to be safe.

E Journal 4 Students learn from media: NETS I and III and V

Bull, B.B. (2010). Finding students who learn with media. L&L—Learning & Leading with Technology, 36(6), Retrieved from http://www.iste.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=March_April_No_6_1&Template=/MembersOnly.cfm&NavMenuID=4516&ContentID=25443&

This Journal is about using media to learn about History, or Art. This program allows students to read and look at documents that they might never get to see ever. The Smithsonian American Art Museum is leading the technology media wave that allows students to make movies with a program from PrimaryAccess MovieMaker. This allows students to take primary sources from the library and their own work and make a movie. This is a good way for students to learn about history, and not the old fashion way of reading a book, but making their own movie in their own words. This is a great way of teaching the children about history.
Question 1. How many class periods does it take to create a movie. it still takes a minimum of three class periods to create a short historical documentary: one
period to create an outline, storyboard, and script; a second period to assemble the media and sequence it in the editor; and a third period for narration, titles, and music (Bull, 2010).
Question 2. What is PrimaryAccess MovieMaker (www.primaryaccess.org) PrimaryAccess is a suite of free online tools that allows students and teachers to use primary source documents to complete meaningful and compelling learning activities with digital movies, storyboards, rebus stories and other online tools.

E Journal 3 Keeping the Peace: NETS IV and V

This E journal is about the difference between old people and young people. Technology is always going to be a touchy subject for schools. Old people do not know how to use the new technology and younger people will know how to get around the older people. In schools technology can get schools in trouble. IM can make kids cheat; can cause problems in the class because the children are paying attention to the IM not the teacher.  This is about a school trying to do the right thing for the children and the children taking advantage of the good thing. The IM should be shut off and let the children use the laptops to help them with the work.

My Inspiration: NETS I and III

I created a graphic organizer using the application Inspiration (see blog), which allows the user to start with a main idea and then branch off using shapes, graphics, embedded links, and various design elements. My Inspiration documents centered around Nets-T Standards

My Wiki: NETS III and V

In order to effectively use the new and everchanging technology in the classroom, it is important for teachers to continue to learn and develop digital skills. One artifact in which I participated in a local learning community to explore creative applications of technology is the use of an online Wiki. A Wiki will allow me to collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation.

Crossword Puzzle : NETS I

I was able to create a crossword puzzle that will allow my class work to stay current in real time. This will keep my homework current.

My PowerPoint ED 422 NETS: NETS I and III

I created slide show presentations which can be used as a visual aid, providing assistance to lectures and oral presentations. Using PowerPoint, presentation software from Microsoft, I created a presentation on the NETS and how students could meet them in the classroom

Class ED 422 NETS Rubric: NETS I and III

I was able to create a rubric for my PowerPoint. This will allow me to create more rubric for future work. This rubric allowed me to create a point scale so future students can see their score if the follow the rubric.

Brian Kane

 Hello class, my name is Brian Kane. I am from Valley Center Ca. I was born at Palomar Hospital in Escondido. I went to Valley Center for my primary education, but had to go to Orange Glen High School because Valley Center did not have a high school back in the days. I am a disabled veteran; I broke my back in the Army in 1997. I again broke my back in 2004, and that is the reason I am starting all over. I am married and have two beautiful children. I love all sports, and I besides with my family I spend it watching ESPN.
I am not very technology savvy. I have three computers at home, all are PC.s. One uses Microsoft XL that is the desk top. I have an ASUS laptop, it uses Vista, and I have a Dell Laptop which uses Vista. Besides what I am told I do not know much about any of the three systems. I am hoping to learn more in this class and hopefully be able to be in the 2000 century.
The part of the mission statement I like most is the diversity. I feel that I am a diverse person. I can talk to anyone at any time. I tend to call myself a chameleon. I was in door to door sales for nine years and have no problem dealing with everyone. In today’s classroom, a teacher of tomorrow needs to have patience with our practices of demonstrating a commitment to student-centered education, diversity, collaboration, professionalism, and shared governance.

Classroom News letter: NETS I

I was able to create a PDF for my class on a month to month basis, which may provide an introduction about myself as a teacher, a brief introduction to my class, the class curriculum, and explain the technology that would be integrated into my classroom.

SocialBookmarkingEd422Spring10.doc Brian Kane:NETS I and IV

Delicious allows users to promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information.I created a "tag" and categorize websites using keywords provided, as well as those that are important to the user such as Conducting online researching immerses students in examining real-world issues in a virtual environment.

#1 I read and saw how that if a class room uses primary sources in a class room portrait_of_black_chicago/, the Sources were on How Black America and this photographer got in contact with the EPA.

#2 The gap is between: Racial and ethnic minorities English,language learners, Students with disabilities, Boys/girls, Students from low-income families. After reading and listening to Mr. Filbert, I feel that I am best suited for Minorities. The reason I feel I can help Minorities is that I grew up in an Italian family with little means and I can relate to Family.I also grew up in Valley Center were there was a lot of field workers, and their children went to school me, so I have more compassion for minorities. Also I have been married to two Hispanic women and had to learn their cultural.Another group is boy and girls, I can relate because I was a boy in school. I also have a 13 year old daughter in school. So I could answer both of the questions of you do not understand because I am a boy or a girl.I have also worked with men and women, I have coached men and women so I have a great understanding for the difference. I can also feel for the students with disability, because I have a disability, I have broke my back twice, and I had a learning disability growing up.Having a learning disorder growing up I have more compassion and understanding for children with learning disorders.Now that i have a disability I can emphasize with students with a disability.

#3 I have a 0 for a score I did not know that you could do any of those things, I am so technology lame.
After reading all those topics, I learned a lot. Now in todays world nothing is safe. Im can ruin a class, if the teacher is not aware, also school really cant do anything about what happens out side of class.I think life for kids seems easier, because of technology, but it is not. Now children have to woory about waht someone put on the Internet, what is cool in the whole world, what is going on at every minute of the day. Take me back to when lights on the street went out, then it was family time and nothing else. Man those were great time, no worries at all, at least no real harmful worries.

#4 I looked up history for the subject, and then looked up day and the events on that day. This is a great tool for teacher to go back in time and help students to learn about history every day. I will use that tool because it will spark interesting talks. then on the teacher site I went to lesson plans,this was also very useful. It gave you all kinds of topic to use, support materials, how to enhance your lesson plan. This will be a very useful web site for me.

#5 I am naturalistic 100%,Interpersonal 100%, Bodily-Kinesthetic 83%. I watched the video on Multiple Intelligences Thrive in Smartville. What I learned is that every student has their own way of learning, and sometimes the normal way of learning might not be the correct way. This school lets the students learn in the way that fits them. The students have multiple intelligences, not just one.

#6
Level:Grades 6 to 8 Grades 9 to 12
Subject:Social Studies After the students came back to class then you could teach them about history and other walk out that happened.•How are the walkouts of 1968 similar to the walkouts of 2006? How are they different?
•What caused students to walk out in 1968? How have those issues changed or remained the same in 2006?
•Munoz and others who walked out in 1968 were arrested and imprisoned for conspiracy to "willfully disturb the peace and quiet" of Los Angeles. Do you think their goal was to disturb the peace? How do you think they would have described their goal?
•In both 1968 and in 2006, students faced arrest, school suspensions and criticism in the press. Knowing this could happen, they decided to walk out anyway. Why? Was it worth it?
•What issue would compel you to take the same amount of risk the students in 1968 and in 2006 faced? Have you ever taken risks to stand up for what you believe is right? How did it feel? Would you do it again?
•Munoz says his right to protest was ultimately protected under the First Amendment. How did the First Amendment protect the students who walked out in 2006? This would lead to a very long and thought provoking lesson.

#7 question #4In a 2007 study, UNICEF rated the treatment of children in the 23 wealthiest countries in the world based on 40 indicators of child well-being. Which two countries received the lowest ratings?
I would not believe that we had the lowest child care.question #9 According to UNICEF, the wealth of the three richest people in the world is roughly equal to the combined Gross Domestic Product of:
was also hard to believe that 3 of the richest countries had more money than 48 other countries.

#8 I received a 70% on the test. B:-) Sunglasses on head

Brad M. Maguth, BM, & Elliott, JE. (2010). Using Podcasts to develop a global perspective . Iste online journal, Retrieved from http://www.iste.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=February_No_5_4&Template=/MembersOnly.cfm&NavMenuID=4495&ContentID=25244&DirectListComboInd=D
This Journal was on Podcasting, podcasting is using the internet and technology to reach wider opportunities. With the world in some people minds in serious distress, a podcast can reach more than just their local town. The podcast can reach around the world. This class in Ohio took the idea of global warming and made a movie or a podcast. This class took the idea of Meet the Press and made a educational script. These class mates took six of the most people in the world with the most influence on global warming. After doing the research on what the thought these people might say and do on a Meet the Press. These students made a script and had the audio done like it was a real Meet the Press. Using technology these students from Ohio could reach the world with their podcast.
Question 1.Should more schools develop a podcast system in their schools. The assignment was an authentic learning experience in that it allowed students to showcase a degree of depth on an important global issue, led them to be well informed on multiple perspectives, and gave them a chance to discuss current global issues. (Brad M. Maguth, & Elliott, 2010)
Question 2.Will technology help students in the world be more aware of the global diversity in the future. At a science, technology, engineering, and math high school in Columbus, Ohio, we are using digital technologies such as podcasting to engage students in learning about other cultures. Podcasting not only allows students the opportunity to interact with digital technologies, it also allows students to apply what they know and reach a wider, even global audience. Having an authentic audience via the Internet motivates students and encourages them to appreciate culturally diverse perspectives. (Brad M. Maguth, & Elliott, 2010)

Ejournal 1 Brian Kane:NETS III and V

Doug Johnson, DJ. (2009). Computing in the clouds. Iste online journal, 37(2009/2010), Retrieved from http://www.iste.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Publications/LL/LLIssues/Volume3720092010/DecemberJanuaryNo4/Computing_in_the_Clouds.htm
This Ejournal was cool for someone who knows very little about how computers and the web work. I am one of those people who have very little knowledge of how the whole Email, Internet, Web, and anything to do with computers really work. This article shows how to use the “Cloud” which is the word for Google Docs work. One does not need an expensive computer set up to be able to use the “Cloud”, the Cloud is free, so that can free up space on your computer. The more space you have the less you need to buy for storage, the less storage the less expensive computer you need. The really neat thing about the cloud is that schools do not have to blow their yearly budget on expensive computer. This will allow schools to purchase more computers than before. Now every child can have a computer, as long as they use the cloud.
Question 1 is how someone starts to use the cloud. Someone would have to start to move all their files to the Cloud. Computer. Rather than using a full-scale laptop computer, I've been using a 10-inch ASUS 1000HA netbook that cost about $350. The smaller keyboard and screen size took some getting used to, but now I can work on the computer for long periods of time. The speed is acceptable, the battery life is good, and the wireless connectivity is fast.
E-mail. Both my school's Microsoft Exchange system and my personal Gmail accounts already have robust online e-mail clients. My biggest challenge has been moving all my saved e-mail from my hard drive—based Entourage/Outlook client to my online Gmail account, and then tagging all that old e-mail so I can find it again. (I have a folder mind, not a tag mind, I'm afraid.)
Web searching and bookmarking. I already have a www.delicious.com account, so I just imported the bookmarks I had saved in my browser.
Word processing, presentations, and spreadsheets. After years of using Office, the move to Google Docs for my day-to-day productivity has been surprisingly easy. In fact, getting away from Office's "feature creep" has been refreshing. However, although Docs is fine for writing short pieces, it's not practical for writing a book. But how many of your students will be writing books? (Doug Johnson, 2009)
Question 2 is using the cloud safe and secure. This is probably the deal-breaker for many skeptics of this trend. As a devout belt-and-suspender kind of guy, I'd encourage you to keep local backup copies of all important online documents. But Jeffrey Kaplan, managing director of the consulting firm ThinkStrategies ("Five Myths About SaaS," CIO, March 23, 2009), assures, "Although service disruptions experienced by Google...get plenty of attention, those types of incidents don't happen very often, and they don't last as long as many enterprise outages. And there hasn't been a major compromise of a SaaS [software as a service] operation reported yet, even as we continue to read regular accounts of security breaches in traditional IT environments."
Are my files private? Can we trust Google and others not to peek at our stuff? This is another major concern. A slide in an online seminar offered through Google Apps Education Edition claims that:
• Google does not own your data.
• Google does not share your data.
• You can keep your data as long as you want.
• Google will remove your data when you ask.
You can take your data elsewhere. (Doug Johnson, 2009)
