Yesterday's class was pretty interesting, especially since we were in a different lab. I liked the presentation of Hot Potatoes. I think this tool will be very useful for the CMC project that is due in a few weeks. Combined with Trackstar and other programs that have been done over the semester, I think all of our groups will form excellent lessons.
Dira's presentation regarding MS Word was very itneresting. I didn't know about some of the features that he showed us. I liked the comparing one, I think that would be a great tool for both students and teachers. Nhon's presentation was also really good.. I showed us how we can utilyze free software on the internet to conform to the demands of our various classes.
I was hoping we could have showed off some of our lessons that we made. I really had fun with mine and am really eager to further explore the potential of Trackstar.
I hope we can share our lessons as well. I would like to see what other students designed or what approach they took to the assignment. Perhaps Dr. Smidt will save time for that next week.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun having a different environment again :)
ReplyDeleteI also think it would be interesting to see how others did their lessons.
Here's the link to my project, if anyone is interested. http://trackstar.4teachers.org/trackstar/ts/viewTrack.do?number=414765
ReplyDeleteI integrated a podcast in mine, which actually took a long time to record because of my screwing up my words!

ReplyDeleteYeah. I also like Hot Potatoes because I plan to use it as a testing device for my future teaching. I think you made a good point that integrating this into your lesson on Trackstar. Quite frankly, when using it, I realized I need to set up the time limit when doing the test, but I didn't know. I want to know whether other options should be integrated to make it possible.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciation ladies and gentlemen. It is encouraging to learn that we have a lot to learn from each other. So far, I have gained a lot of information from all technology tools demonstrated in our class. James has been doing a great job too. Viva happy learning Viva!
