Week #4 - Curriculum

Hello from Beijing!  If everything went ok with my 16 hour 6,000+ mile flight I should be in Beijing visiting the sites today. Here is the current time in Beijing as you read this:



I'm really impressed with the tremendous improvement in the blog post assignments - you are all vastly exceeding my expectations and I'm learning so much for all of your blogs!  Thank you for your hard work!

This week we'll explore integrating technology in with curriculum through technology tutorials.  The assignment is posted on blackboard.  CUNE has a great website with many different technology tutorials in a wide range of formats.  Please feel free to model your tutorial on any of the ones provided on that page.



I would really like for you to pick a technology that you could see yourself using in your classroom this upcoming year - feel free to choose one you are not very comfortable with in order to really learn how to use the technology.  Also, feel free to be creative with the tutorial - there are no strict guidelines on the format.

In addition to your technology tutorial you also have a weekly paper that's available on blackboard.  Finally, please add your two comments to other student's technology tutorials as we have been doing with the blog posts.

If I have internet access in Beijing I will also post the technology tutorial instructions and weekly paper topics to the blog on the assignments page but I want to wait until May 29 to avoid confusion between the week 3 and week 4 topics. 

In the event my internet connection will not allow me to access the blog and/or blackboard please look to blackboard for your week 4 and week 5 assignments (I have asked my wife to make the week 5 material available on blackboard in case I have technology problems on June 5).

Thanks so much for all of your hard work and getting through the first week hiccups - I'm very impressed with your work and it seems clear in the comments that everyone is learning a lot from each other. 

再见，祝你好运 

(I believe that's Goodbye and Goodluck in the Chinese language - at least Google Translate says so!)

    I am thinking I am going to do my tutorial on the Smart Board. I have one and don't know how to use it.

    Since I have been asked to start a blog for our school next year I am going to do a tutorial for the teachers who will be setting up their classroom accounts so their students can do the actual blogging.

    Camtasia Studio is a great program I would like to explore for my students and staff to uses next year. I can't wait to look further into the program.

    I am going to explore a wiki. These could be helpful in organizing group projects.
