Unit+2+-+Collaborating+on+Technology+Standards

Wikis are great Web 2.0 tools for working together, collaborating and constructing new knowledge. For this activity on standards and to become familiar with using a wiki, we will each contribute to this chart about Standards and 21st Century Learning. As people add their thoughts and information you can see how wikis can be a powerful place for students in your class, in your school, in our district and globally to collaborate on projects.

//** For this activity, review the NETS-T National Technology Standards and the information from the Partnership for 21st Century Learning. Choose a technology standard at the objective level, align it with a 21st century skill and name a technology you have used or might want to try to help support the standard. **//

Then they worked in small groups to write a mystery story using real characters in our school. After coming up with a story map they wrote the story collaboratively and then used photostory to present the story. They took digital pictures showing the events of their book and recorded their voices telling the story. Using this technology made the book come alive! ||

I recently added a new forum entitled “Auditioning” to the Moodle page for my Acting the Method course. We are in the midst of a unit entitled Audition in which I use Michael Shurtleff's text __Audition__ to teach them valuable skills about the audition process (it's similar to job interviewing). In the forum, I asked the students questions about the auditions they've experienced, how they prepare for their auditions, and what they like/dislike about the audition process. The discussions have been extraordinary; the best I've seen in all the times I've taught the class/unit. In their responses to posts of other learners, the students are asking fascinating questions, and the learner who created the post often returns to answer them. I don't think this wondrous discussion would have been possible without the technology. ||
