Grace+Drown

I am still really fuzzy about what a moodle is. I think it is a site that you can set up so that other people can go on it too. I understand that a wiki is a site where other people can use the site and edit a document that is there. I had a big aha on the way home last time that Wikipedia is a wiki and that's how people go in there and add to it or edit it.

Today while Sharon started talking fast about moodle, viocethread, wiki, and blog I felt like I was in my first Russian class. It still feels totally foreign. But I have used United Streaming. I have used 2 videos this year, one on classification in science, and one on the Civil War for social studies. Last year I found one that did a good job of explaining the seasons and how they relate to the earth's orbit, a tricky concept for 6th graders. Today I found out how to use "My content" and I want to learn how to use the school share feature. I tried it, but there was a next step to set up the school and Sharon was on to something new, so... I re-learned how to save the videos. I will set up a folder on my DESKTOP to save the videos I want quick access to. Now I am way behind because I have been typing this!!

Notes as Sharon talks: "A course wiki" owned by the teacher Wiki is an editable web page by anyone who is allowed in.

Hey Grace - I will try to slow down. Looking forward to your next update.
