Last Day

Okay tomorrow we must turn in the website. As i was reading I think everything is done except we must find 2 more websites each. I know we put in the websites from our evaluations but we must also add 3 additional websites each. i know I found 1 more but it looks like we have only put in our websites for our teaching resources that include lesson plans ect??

Otherwise I think we are finished.

I have to add in the digital story and a picture to my website in the morning before we leave for back home.

Awesome!
Thanks for everyone's effort. I like the website!

New Post-WEBSITE

The other one was getting tooooo long!

Amy- okay. Under the "teaching resources" page, Alyssa has listed her 3 websites from that module early on in the semester. I am in the process of finishing mine up too...also the last bullet says that we each needs to find three additional websites too....so, i'm thinking that oe that page there should be a total of....18 websites?

Also, i would message Kelsey and have her make sure that she can see the youtube video of your podcast, because i am still unable. :(

Alyssa-- Did you want to work on the "BIG BANG" page for the end of our project? I think there should be a link to Amy's create a classroom weather station page....because as she said above, that "lesson" is basically creating the tools for our classroom weather station. I think this could also count as one of your two original item, especially if you make it like a lesson plan!

Website

Hello ladies, I have done quite a bit of messing with our website and have added and deleted some pages. What do you think so far of my messing around? Any ideas as to better our site or make some adjustments?

Final Concept Map

I am working on our final concept map. I will post it here once I get it done.

Okay, this is what I have so far for the final concept map. Am I missing any new ideas or ones from your lesson plans or podcasts?

Wednesday, March 30, 2011

Okay- i like the classroom one, too! Alright, the website is made. Here is the link:

https://sites.google.com/site/weatherwatchers2011/ however, try to play around on it and make sure it will work, ( because i'm not sure that we can change/adjust the title headlines) :(

Module 10

Alright guys! In the homestretch! :)

I created a group email for us to use for this "last" module.

It is a gmail account, as instructed. The login email is: weatherwatchers3470 and the password is: spring2011.

Hope this is at least a good start for this next module.

Scripts

I know we are working on the google document for the scripts, but maybe after we all have our final copy of our script, we can copy and paste it into our blog so we have a record of here also!

Here is the link for the google document again:

Module 9-Collaborative Podcast

For our next project, we are going to be working on a collaborative podcast. We have two weeks to work on this!

We will need to decide on who goes first, second and third. The recording has to flow together.

Then we will need to decide who covers what concepts of our group project.

I think that we should try to get this part done by Friday or Saturday this week?

Since the scripts need to flow together...we will need to see each other's scripts in order to coordinate them...so most likely the first person's script would probably need to be done first, then the second and then the third. Does that make sense?

So we probably should set deadline's for putting the script up also. When do you think would be a reasonable deadline for those?

Module 8

Looks like this week, we need to work on our second lesson plan and collaborate some more on our concept map.

For the concept map, maybe we could put what we have done for our lesson plans onto the map, if they are not already there or list specific activities relating to the topics already on the map?

What do you think? Any other ideas?

Week 7-Movie Maker

This week project sounds like an interesting one! We get to make a movie! Each one of us needs to pick a specific topic related to weather and we can't use the same one, so let's make sure and post which one we are using so we don't have duplicates!

Looking ahead: Alyssa, do you want to do the second version of our concept map? It is in Week 8 module. If not, I can do it. Let me know by Thursday of this week if you want to do it this time. If not, I will download it on Friday. Thanks!

WEEK 6

ALMOST HALF WAY THERE! :)

Alright, since this week is an individual assignment, there is nothing we really need to communicate about. However, between Amy and Alyssa, you two should figure out who is going to download Inspiration the second and third times.

Assignments for Week 5

Using TaskStream, the students will create a lesson plan involving online research with hot list, media specialist showing students how to create something in technology, and integration of safe surfing.

Each of us this week will make a lesson plan using Taskstream. All of our lesson plans have to be on a different aspect of our project. Our concept map has lots of ideas for possible lesson plans.

Since this week we are working indivdually on different lesson plans, the deadline day doesn't matter as much. Let's just make sure that before we start working on your lesson plan that you post your idea up here so no one does the same one.

Also, if we move our deadline to Friday, is that a good compromise? Another thing that I think might help our group work is that if each person could check in at least every day for at least 5 minutes while we are planning our ideas for each assignment that week. That way if someone has a question about something, we can help each other out.

I know we are all busy (I have 2 kids, one on the way, taking 16 credit hours, working, the whole gammit:), but I think at least 5 minutes a day will keep everyone updated and together on our goal for this project.

What do you all think? Please post your opinion!

Google Map

WEATHER AROUND THE WORLD


View Weather Watchers in a larger map

The google map that our students created consists of the weather & climate reports of six different places around the world.  Our students communicated via e-pals with students from these locations getting weather reports for 5 days and these are the results of their investigation into weather around the world.
