Project 2

http://leifarrhenius.wall.fm

• What did you learn about social networks and the technology in particular that you learned? I had never heard of wall.fm. I think this is a great social media site. I didn't know that I could create forums and in the forums create topics and have discussions. I also didn't know that I could embed youtube videos which I thought was pretty cool. I didn't know there was a site out there where I could have a blog, photos, videos, forum etc. all in the same place.
  
• What instructional problems could you use this technology for?As a teacher I could use the blog as a daily or weekly update for students. I could post assignments, links, topics, test dates etc. and also changes to those topics. They could be reminded of tests and other events in the calendar. This would allow the students and parents a recourse to know what is going on at all times in the class. This could almost act as a "blackboard" for high school class rooms. As a class we could upload class photos, create events to put in the calendar, and use the wall.fm site as a class hangout.
  
• What are 2-3 activities you could use this technology for in your own teaching? List the instructional standards if you can identify them. I would use the video portion to post videos for my students to look at. I could post a health video every week on a topic we are discussing in class to use as another recourse and have students do an assignment on the project. I also like the idea of using the forum for students to discuss, share, and ask questions on class topics, assignments, and up coming tests. If I was teaching different classes, I would create groups so the students could join their particular class group.
  

Project 1

Here are two podcasts I made about post workout recovery-

I made these podcasts as a recourse for students or a companion lecture to a topic I could be discussing or lecturing about in class. I chose to do a topic that might not be too important to talk about in a class lecture but still important for students to know.

• What did you learn about Pod casting (or whatever technology you learned)?I have never used or listened to a podcast before. I didn't even really know what a podcast was. So everything I learned about pod casting was totally new to me. I learned that I could record my voice and put it online for people. I learned that I could subscribe to other podcasts and receive updates. I learned that I could provide podcasts to my students and use it as a great teaching recourse. I had never heard of audioboo and I learned that that website is a great recourse to record podcasts. I learned that I could record pod casts on my computer but also on other devices such as i phones, i pods, and other portable devices. I think it's awesome that people can subscribe to users and search for tons of different topics to listen to. I didn't know that there were so many podcasts that deal with teaching and learning. I also learned that this could be a great recourse for teaching.
  
• What instructional problems could you use this technology for? If there is a blind student in our class this could be a great recourse (along with others) that would allow the student to stay caught up on material and still learn the same material the other students are learning. This could also be a great way to keep students up to date weekly or daily on topics or assignments, and as a reminder for homework and tests.
  
• What are 2-3 activities you could use this technology for in your own teaching? Being a health teacher, I would love to share weekly or daily health tips I find interesting with my students that I might not teach them about in class or test them on. Also I would like my students to subscribe to my podcasts so they could listen to updates on my podcasts. I could update them on changes to the syllabus, lectures and tell them any announcements I might have. If I forgot to mention some material in class this is important I could teach it to them in podcasts. It is a great supplement to classroom teaching.
