Voicethread Test

Well, I was catching up on many of the posts that my classmates have been posting, and I went into Walter’s blog and looked at his video for his digital project. He recommended Voicethread and Animoto. So I thought I would give it a try. So here it goes my last two hours.
I went to [...]

Inspirational Leader

I experienced yet another ’shot of adrenaline’ with regards to the importance and potential technology can offer education. My EC&I class had the privilege of Chris Lehmann as a guest speaker On Wednesday, March 25th. Chris is the Principal of the Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia, and this school and it’s students are [...]

Catching Up!!

My blog has been neglected!! I am finding (once again) that there are not enough hours in the day to ‘keep up’. It has been a while since I last blogged but I have many ideas in my head. I am like a ‘bad student’! I have quite a few blogs [...]

Choice Fatigue . . . No Kidding!

As a self-proclaimed technological ‘rookie’, I experienced a very interesting discussion on March 18th in my EC&I 831 class. I listened to Brian Lamb and D’Arcy Norman discuss many issues . . . most of which I did not understand!! I really felt ‘over my head’ (so to speak) with regards to much [...]

One question that was posed to us was ‘what are you afraid of?’. Our class has been introduced to numerous web-tools and their [...]

Unveiling . . . Part 2!

Technology, isn’t it great.  For those that attempted to browse my digital project for my EC&I 831 class, you might have run into some technical difficulties!!  The link I provided to my Moodle page did not take you to my page but to the school division page.  When I tried the link (before I published [...]

Digital Project Unveiling!

I thought I would show you my modest digital project for my EC&I 831 class. I am setting up a Moodle page for my Science 6 class. I am hoping to keep it updated and incorporate as much technology into the site as possible (at least where it permits itself). I have found there to [...]
