We started our week 1 to get to know each other with lots of fun stuffs. I really enjoyed reading these jokes and the book titles. I always cracked up with this joke: "What do you call cheese that's not yours? NACHO CHEESE!!!! " LOL *_^ If I were to write a book now, it would be "Another Day in Paradise" (hint: also one of my favorite song). But I do have a book just came out freshly from the oven, it's called "The Amazing iPad Book for Teachers." It is an interactive ebook for iPad users. Dr. Wang (many of you took her course already) and I wrote this book to help teachers integrate iPads to enhance teaching and learning. In this course, I will introduce you some apps, but we won't use them for course assignments since I know not everyone has the device. However, with increasing schools adopting or establishing the iPad program, it is important to know the trend. Again, remember in this course, we will be focusing on new literacy (using information and communication technologies, ICTs, to enhance learning across the curriculum. The keystone assignment is to have your work with an ELA teacher to design and implement a lesson with a technology and write a report on the entire process, the student learning outcomes, and your reflection (Guidelines and rubric are in the Blackboard Assignments folder and on the syllabus). Let's start our week 2. :D
PS. We will be using your blog as an e-portfolio. Please polish up your blog and provide comments to your peers.
Important reminder: Everyone must fill out this Field Experience Placement Request Form (no matter you have a placement already or if you need to be placed). The minimum 10 hours will be needed.
