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!
Okay- for my "original idea", i am going to make a taskstream lesson plan that essentially the assignment is that each day during the week, for one month, students will individually be looking up and journaling about the weather. I thought this might be too close to our final page, but then i thought of this! What is you also link to my page from the big bang page, and the big bang page could be that each student is assigned one day from which they must "dress up" like a meteorologist and put on a newscast report for that day. The teacher will then string them together and achieve a full month's weather report.....Does that sound like a big enough diffence?
ReplyDeleteAnother thing- I have started to work on the "new ideas of each page bullet". I wrote something very basic for both the PBL page and the concept map...Amy, if you have a better idea for that page, feel free to change it. I think if we each just go through the pages and make sure there is ONE NEW ITEM per page, then we are fulfilling the requirement. I have also added a new item for the dust bowl page.
ReplyDeleteOkay, good ideas Leah. I will check with Kelsey to see if she can see the podcast. I will add on 3 more web sites.
ReplyDeleteI like what you did on the concept map page. The new item on exploring weather page woud be the concept map and on the weather tool page would be another lesson plan...i hope that is enough for those two. I will check out the page about clouds and see what I can add new.
And yes, Leah, that does sound like a big enough difference between your lesson and the big bang page.
Alyssa, can you see my podcast?
okay.
ReplyDeleteI can see the podcast!
I am not too sure how to get my podcast up myself? any clues?? I was trying to figure it out but couldnt.
Okay. I will finish up my pages tomorrow sometime around 3. I am leaving for PA around 5 so I have to be done! If there needs to be any changes I can hopefully adjust in PA!
I will continue on with the big bang page!
Alyssa,
ReplyDeleteWhat I did was went into movie maker again, added a picture and my .wav file from audacity to create a movie. I finished it like we did our first podcasts and then uploaded it to you tube. Then I found the embed code or you could just use the link.
But if you use the embed code, copy it, and when you get to the website there is a part up top that says something about html..click that. It is a little confusing but if you can find the spot where you want your podcast, you just paste it there. Hope that doesn't sound too confusing :). If you want to send me the embed code, I can put it in the right spot for you.
What do you mena by embedded code???
ReplyDeleteThe website is not allowing me to sign in.. saying invalid!
ReplyDeleteokay so i sent my .wav file to our weatherwatchers email. I cannot figure out how to post it as an attachment. I saw that Leah did but it wont allow me to? I am getting frustrated!
ReplyDeleteokay lol. my podcast is posted! wooh that was exhausting. what do i need to do for the big bang part of our project?
ReplyDeleteokay update. I have been trying to work on the pages all day but my son who got his shots and has a double ear infection has not aloud me. My dad was suppose to come help me but just got home. We are going leave for PA around 5. I will work on the website as early as possible tomorrow. I added a page called equator its under home. I was trying to move it? I need help figuring out how to move it I know Leah showed me but well i forgot :( sorrryy about this. I will have my whole family to watch Benny tomorrow so I will be able to focus! So sorry!
ReplyDeleteThe big bang page still needs to be made, as well as some pages, such as the global understanding page, still new a "new idea" incorporated with them. Also, Alyssa what is your original item? I think when we met, you talked about making another digital story or lesson plan or something? Amy, once you post your six websites...i can't think of anything else that really needs to be done.....ANY IDEAS FROM ANYONE ELSE?
ReplyDeleteokay so i need to make the big bang page... i can make a lesson plan about the last project of the year? should i do something as a big assessment? I was going to make another lesson plan about the equator but I cant figure out how to get it on the side bar right now it is under home? how do i get the items on the side bar?
ReplyDeleteMy origioanl item is a lesson plan under lesson plans called the equator. I still have to do the big bang and I think once I am finsihed that will be up. I was thinking about having a weather party where students create a part of the classroom a different climate using construction paper and other items? And have a weather party in our weather classroom????
ReplyDeleteI like those ideas Alyssa...sounds good. Leah, I thought it was three websites. I already have two up, gotta find another one!
ReplyDeleteUpdate:
ReplyDeleteI am almost finished with the Final project. I want to make a digital story and will do this tomorrow otherwise i am done i think. Let me know if i need to do anything more!
Thanks,
Alyssa
