We Already Knew This--And Are Working to Change It!

A new study from Northwestern University discovered that college students have a decided lack of Web savvy, especially when it comes to search engines and the ability to determine the credibility of search results. Apparently, the students favor search engine rankings above all other factors. The only thing that matters is that something is the top search result, not that it's accurate or reliable. Many students trusted rankings above all else. A quarter of the students, when assigned informatio… Continue

This was good to read. I started working on a computer in 1988 and it is amazing how the technology has changed in the past 22 years.

What is a Wiki...



The video "What is a wiki" states the etymology is the Hawaiian term "wiki-wiki" which means "quickly". Now I am beginning to think the term could be used to reference any system that allows a user to create and edit a web page quiContinue

Thanks I remember having to do that all that time ago. I only did it with one of my three classes since it was also my learning that was in motion. And I tried doing what you suggested with no luck. I'm going to go back to wordle and see if they hav…

In MILI we are going to be showing you tools and how you can use them in the classroom. We don't intend for you to use every tool we show, but we want you to try them all and test them out. After trying them you may find some that could possibly add…

What I find most interesting here is the fact that both worlds are discussed as if they are separate and do not (or cannot) co-exist. He mentions co-existing in the very last line, but doesn't dig into it. That would've been a more interesting artic…

Wordle is a very simple tool, so there is no where that you log in, but when you choose to Save to Public Gallery, that's where you enter a user name. After you make a Wordle and design it however you'd like, below the Wordle on the right there is a…

Nothing quite yet. Next week you'll all be getting an email from me with the videos I need you to watch before our next August meeting, if possible. After you watch those videos we're going to ask that you write one blog post about them. Keep an ey…

thanks Yes all the students saw our collective work. It was mostly me learning the ins and outs of the new software. I did post what we did with third our students but I have not gone back to look at it yet. I'm trying to keep ahead as much as poss…

Great, now that I'm thinking about this, are there any assignment I should be working on yet?

I think this is a good response and one that educators around the country are trying to deal with, because, you're right, these are just online versions of their notebook and/or other ways to do online what they do in-person. But, the one difference…

Wordle is a pretty simple program, so I've had some issues with printing from time to time, too, which is unfortunate. I hope that at least you were able to pull it up on a screen or something for the students to see, and I'm glad you think it worke…

Rebecca, your interest in learning technology, as proven by your participation in our Lunch with Lohse sessions and your taking the Classroom Response training points to your imminent success here. You always ask questions, keep your neck above the…

That's a good question! I'm working on that this summer. I will probably be using lots of e-mail with parents, but also having more one-on-one conferences with students. I'll be engaging students more in self-evaluation, too. If you have any suggest…

Wordle has a nice effect and affect to for that matter. Using it the first day might have been rushing it. But we did it. I had trouble with second period due to printer wasn't working and saving wasn't saving. I do have first period. Saving to publ…
