Digital Citizenship & Gaming : Day 5
On the last day of class, we spent some time learning about resources for digital citizenship (see below) and using gaming in the classroom. I liked the Digital Footprint video that was shared.Resources for Digital Citizenship found at Commonmedia.org:
- Internet Safety
- Privacy & Security
- Relationships & Communication
- Cyberbullying
- Digital Footprint & Reputation
- Self-image & Identity
- Information Literacy
- Creative Credit & Copyright
A book Laurie said was one of the best books on assessment: Assessing the Common Core: What's Gone Wrong--and How to Get Back on Track by Robert C. Calfee and Kathleen M. Wilson.
A couple apps that other students showed us:
- "whiteboard"app and "explain everything" (more options - includes video/screen cast)
- Vine - had students use it to show vocabulary.
- SeeSaw - good place to have a portfolio of student work.
- A couple easy websites are weebly.com and wix.com. Wordpress doesn't sound very easy to use!
- Timeline app- http://www.lps.org/apps/matrix/
I had fun learning more about different ideas and technologies that can be used in class, and I have a good start on my class that I will teach next spring! Thank you Laurie and Guy!
You have done an excellent job of collating and trying apps and websites, Debbie. You professional blog will be a great reminder of the tools you want to cover in your course, and I like the way you included links directly to the sources. You taught others this week and learned from others this week. This is the kind of learning space I hope you create with your students, empowering them to create and share. I challenge you to think how you can help preservice teachers integrate technology into content and pedagogy to create lessons that inspire students to go beyond the textbook and share their learning with others using multimedia. Please let me know if I can assist in any way as you teach next spring. Looking forward to continued collaboration! All the best, Laurie.
