 * media type="custom" key="7324153" || Courtney H. //**Navigating the Net: Educating Children on**// //**Using the Internet Safely**// || Courtney “Navigating the Net” - You address some of the major concerns of teachers and parents at all levels of education and provide solutions for using the Internet safely and productively. I like how you generalized your explanations to cover the broad range of concerns that students will encounter, from inaccurate material to inappropriate content. (JoelF)

Courtney, Your presentation left your audience with much to consider. Your statement that there is so much more to Internet safety than "avoiding dirty websites." So true, but yet, that is the stigma that most people think of when the term "Internet safety" is heard. In college, I can vividly remember sitting in a class listening to a teacher talk about how to identify reliable websites. This is a vital skill for today and the search for primary resources. Providing a list that included checking end labels, when the page was updated, the design, and for the oganization responsible is a great reminder for educators. Hopefully your advice will influence the teaching practices of others. Great job! Kristin W.

Courtney, Wonderful job on your presentation! I found your list of Search Engines for kids to be quite helpful. The Kids Click search engine may just be my new favorite search engine when looking for resources for my classroom. I thought it was easy to read and access search topics. I think students will find it to be the same. Angela T.

Courtney, I really like your presentation. The overall quality is excellent. It is very well organized and the audio sounds great. I think the three points you discuss in your presentation, using reliable websites, finding and using safe webistes, and the sharing of personal information are very relevant to using the internet safely and you did a thorough job discussing each topic. Also, thank-you for sharing your resources. I do not currently use webquests in my classroom and I'm considering do so. The websites you provided will be a good resource. Jo Ann N.

Courtney,

I wish I was as good at Windows Movie Maker as you are! Awesome job. Thank you so much for introducing me to Kids Click! As Angela said, this may be my favorite search engine! What I love about Kids Click is that students can access this as well.

 * || JoelF - Internet Safety 2010: A Moving Target || Joel, adding digital permance to the list of IS concerns is helpful. The IS providers I have reviewed (such as ISafe, and CyberSmart, as two examples) have not included this important topic. Denise DF

Joel, I like how your presentation is targeted towards secondary students. Being that technology can influence students of different ages in different ways, I think that it was a good idea to focus on a certain age group. I also thought that you picked great areas to address, being that they are up to date and of high interest. Great job! - Courtney H.

Joel, I have to agree with Courtney. I liked the fact that you aimed your presentation towards the secondary level. We've had a lot of problems this year with Cyberbullying and we are spending our homeroom once a week through November discussing Cyberbullying with our secondary students because it's such a problem. Amazing how many don't see it as a problem or I've even had a few tell me it's not the school's issue and they need to stay out of it. Travis ||
 * media type="custom" key="7331659" || Kristin W. - **//What's the Big Idea?//**

What is the concept behind Web 2.0? It’s not a new “gadget, game, or gizmo.” It’s an idea. This video explains the concept as the Internet as an upgrade and how teachers can use Web 2.0 applications to enhance student cognition in the classroom. || Kristin, very comprehensive and clear presentation of Web 2.0 tools. Some of the resources you presented, such as the language translator, are new to me and most helpful. Denise DF

Kristin “What’s the Big Idea?” – This puts the audience in the place of considering instructional technology from the perspective of the student. It also provides the viewer with a background in why web 2.0 is a valuable tool, and provides examples for practical application. (JoelF)

Kristin, I think it was a great idea to analyze the differences in the generations, just like we have done in this class. I feel that in doing this, you have encouraged your audience to analyze their viewpoints of technology. I think this then will help your viewers to look beyond their current beliefs of the net generation. You encouraged me to hit the "back space" on some of my teaching practicies! - Courtney H.

Kristin, this is an amazing presentation on some Web 2.0 tools that I have not even come across before. You did a great job summarizing everything we have been learning in this course about net generation students and then encouraged teachers (myself included) to go back and reach out to this new generation of learners. I am going to be sharing this video with several other faculty members at school. Amazing job! - Bethany H. ||
 * media type="custom" key="7386995" || Travis N. - Collaboration 2.0: Educational Tools for the Net Generation

This video discusses basic Web 2.0 tools good for educators with some specific attention to Wikis, Google Docs and Google Apps for Educators, Learning Management Systems and Moodle. || Travis, I really enjoyed your presentation on wikis, google docs and moodle. It was a great introductory presentation to give teachers an idea what they are and you provided some great information on how they can be used. You have inspired me to look into moodle a more. I have worked with it a little but from your presenation certainly have not explored all its possible uses. Google apps is also an interesting "program" that hasn't taken off like I personally thought it would. I believe this is where education is headed, but I am wondering if a digital divide is keeping many teachers from using it regularly. Great job! - Bethany H. ||
 * media type="custom" key="7388299" || Jo Ann N. - Use of Wikis for Student Lab Reports

This video presents incorporating the use of a wiki lab template in a high school science class utilizing the Blackboard platform. || Jo Ann, This is a practical guide to using a Wiki page for a science lab. My husband usually has a lab that he teaches during engineering courses, and I am going to recommend this to him. You made this process very user friendly with explanation about using Blackboard as the platform and creating a Lab Wiki Template. I appreciated the website resources and also the suggestion of different colored fonts for each student. Thank you for sharing. Susan D.

My favorite part of your presentation was the discussion of how collaborative assignments allow students see other students work, increasing the quality of their work and causing them to work harder and complete a better assignment themselves. Justin H. || This presentation covers some of the Net Generation learning styles and gives a practical lesson plan for educators to use in a 4th, 5th, or 6th grade classroom that would incorporate social learning and the use of newer technology. This lesson/unit would be easy to correlate with all academic subjects: language arts' journal of trip, math, social studies, and science. Teachers can make up their individual rubrics based on which parts of the lessons they want to grade. Make sure you click on the start triangle in the middle of the picture to get to the first slide. || Susan, As I listened to your presentation, one phrase really caught my attention: "These students are creating new ways of learning." This is such a powerful statement to all teachers. It summarizes the "Net Generation" and their ability to test boundaries, think outside of the normal parameters, and their passion to create. Your presentation talked about how to transform from a traditional teacher to that of a coach and the lesson example that you provided "On the Road" did just that. It provided a detailed example for others to use as a guide. I really liked the idea and I also liked how your questions addressed lower-level and higher-level orders of thinking. I also liked your image collages, especially on slides seven and eight! Nice work! Kristin W. ||
 * media type="custom" key="7388547" || Susan Doria - Students as Self-Directed Learners
 * media type="custom" key="7406923" || Angela T. **Learning Styles of the Net Generation** - This video discusses the Net Generation Learners and their learning styles. It also tells how those learning styles compare to prior generations. Teaching strategies are discussed and ways to implement them to suit the needs of the Net Gen learners. || Angela, your presentation was very clear and concise. Your video could be shown prior to mine (Students as Self-Directed Learners) at a training workshop. Using digital storytelling is a great way to integrate technology within lessons. I appreciate the resources you gave at the end of your presentation. Susan D

Angela, I thought your presentation did a nice job on contrasting the traits bewteen Baby Boomers and the Net-Generation. It would be an appropriate video that could be incorporated into this class! One trait you included that I don't remember seeing before is that in the traditional classroom the seats are typically arranged into rows and in the Net-Generation classroom, student prefer to be in groups or pods. How True! As soon as I tell my students they can work with each other, they start rearranging the desks into groups facing each another. Once again, great job on your presentation. Jo Ann N. ||
 * media type="custom" key="7414997" || Traci Siegler -- Eportfolios -- This video focuses on defining eportfolios, explaining the benefits for the teacher and the student, and acknowledging the need for staff development on eportfolios in conjunction with other digital presentation programs. || Traci - I've heard a lot about ePortfolios, but had never really seen or wasn't quite sure how they worked. They always sounded like to me, you just scanned all of your hard documents on a scanner and saved them PDF in a single file. Your information gave me a much better idea what an ePortfolio could really contain. Thanks. - Travis

Traci, I've been interested in using student e-portfolios in my classroom. I have an idea of what I want incorporated and how I will go about setting it up, for free. Unfortunately, I have been overwhelmed and not sure where to start. Hearing you talk about starting small made me stop and realize that I can start small this year and build upon it with each coming year. My use of e-portfolios won't be perfect from the start. The point is to START! Thank you for inspiring me to begin the process. Angela T.

Traci, E-portfolios are a wonderful idea for any classroom. There are many mediums we can use for e-portfolios. I already have my kids use Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Power point, but, we never put them together into a portfolio. I believe, that the children would have a wonderful time explaining their projects to the class at the end of the year. With so many kids in a classroom, I can see how starting small is extremely important. Steven B. ||

As of November7th did not receive Teacher Tube approval, therefore, posted from You Tube.

It's good to have this first opportunity to see the Teacher Tube process because when I implement Teacher Tube in my classroom, I will be sure to plan way in advance and not expect a turn-around of less than a week. ||  ||
 * media type="custom" key="7453059" || Steven Baker- This is a video that explains the importance of video games in the classroom. This also explains how teachers should monitor video game use. ||  ||
