Glogster

My golgster is http://www.chariss.glogster.com/ and www.chariss.glogster.com/Amanda/

A glog is almost like facebook, its a place where you can create a web page about yourself that reflects what you like and enjoy and can talk to friends and family.

I would use a glog in class to get to know my studetns and vice versa, its also a great way to introduce them to the internet and the things they can do.

I feel it corresponds with Technology Operations and concepts.

I don't really see any problems.

Self Portrait

Some of the issues I had when creating my portrait was the ears on my are backwards on the one side, but I couldn't figure out how to fix it so I just just left them. I also didn't like any of the hair, so I just settled for one. They didn't fit the faces right. So I know my looks pretty funny.

The link to my portrait is in a different blog but when you click on it, you will see my self portrait.

VoiceThread

I didn't mind doing the voice thread activity. I thought it was late, but now realize it was a different class that I posted my voice to. I don't know if I did this correctly. I went to the new site that posted in the mail and my voice is still there, so I'm assuming I have do this correctly. Now I'm posting my blog. I don't really like to hear my voice on a machine, or microphone, I think I should funny. But this assignment was fun. I was able to learn about the other students in my class, and get feedback which is nice as well. When you take online classes, its really hard to get to know the other students and with this voice thread it helps. I would have to also say that this ISTE and NETS activity matches closly with the Digital-Age work-learning.

My computer does not come with this nice feature. I'm not into downloading things on my computer, and I don't see the point in downloading something for a one time use.

Learning style Results

My results were completely right one. I knew I was a kinestistic learner and taking the test only proved me right. I was a 12 for Kinestistic learning. So I guess you can say I was very close. I wasn't off by any.

I would use the results of my knowledge and understanding, and what the test proved to help me lead a class, or group of teachers, or principals. in that whatever I was teaching I would have them demonstrate. For instance if your setting up rules in your classroom, once you have assigned the rules have the students act them out so they know what to do, and what not to do to reinforce whatever it is your teaching. For instance with teacher in a group whatever the discussion is about there is always a way to get up and move and act out whatever it may be, no one likes to sit still though a meeting with out moving we all get bored. The same goes for principals. We all need to learn and remember that we are all different, and learn different, and at different speeds. So as a teacher just remember that everyone one of your students are unique and treat them as individuals.

Test questions
Learning styels are: aural, visual, and kinestistic
Awareness of learning styles can improve the learning environment because you as the teacher are teaching everyone, not just the visual kids, or aural kids, but everyone, and by using all of this learning styles imporves leraning in the students becasue your not just targeting one group of learners your reaching out to all of them.

Learning Styles

My learning style is kinestistic. I love working with my hands. I even talk with my hands. When it comes to taking a test I would love to have one that is kinestistic but that doesn't happen to often. Most test are aural, or visual. If it was up to me I would choose a kinestistic test, but my second choice would be visual so I could see it. I when it comes to learning we all learn differently and most teachers should take that into consideration. I think I have changed myself to be more visual, becuase not a lot of things are done hands on anymore. I have to be about to touch, see and do what I'm learning. I like to put them all together. Don't just tell something to do, show me or give me example in class of what your talking about. Reinfore what you want to teach different ways.

The two blogs I'm going to follow this semester are, West Virginia Board of Education, and Education Home. I've learned that we have spent a lot of time in commitee meetings this past couple of weeks, and are coming up on the senate youth program. In the Education Home different things have been done to page to help out other organizations. For instance the bookshelf.
