Day 10 [2-18-10]

Today in class Denise had us all work on our photo stories. We put them up on youtube then commented on each others. I really enjoyed watching everyone's videos. My favorite (which I already told her) was Kayla Kople's. She showed great quotes, pictures, and personal goals for becoming a teacher. I was very satisfied with my video; however, I did not get to add sound due to the fact that both computers I worked with did not let me do this. By students making videos and watching videos to help them learn, I feel that this really helps them learn better then listening to lectures and taking notes. The ISTE-NETS standard that I feel that goes with this is 5a. (5. Digital Citizenship Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior. a. advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology.) This is because students are learning how to use the internet and technology in a safe, responsible way. I believe that the internet can either be extremely helpful or extremely dangerous. By students learning the right way to use the internet, they will successfully understand the dangers of it.
