Elluminate Live

1. Describe the experience with elluminate live.

• Using elluminate live was fun we got to hear Bree who was elluminating from the states, we got to see pictures, hear great and new things about using technology in the classroom. Its a fun way to communicate with others near or far.

2. What did you like? Dislike?

• I like the fact that we all can write to each other like a chat site as well as hear each other say something. the part that i dislike was just the whole starting up the ellumination site too complicated.

3. How would a distance learning application like elluminate, benefit students?

• Sites like ellumination could benefit students if they want to talk to other student abroad or different schools with them. Good for socialization and also with learning they could get ideas from others.

4. What are some ideas that you learned from Bree?

• I learned some ways and the advantages for using some of the recommended sites she posted to use in the classrooms because some of them I wasnt familiar with so she gave some insights on the usage of those programs in the classroom.

• I would take the whole skype software and explore it more because skype is what is mainly use in society atleast in my group. Ireally dont know how to use skype so I would want to learn more and how to use it.

Timeline Project (march 16, 2010)

Class assignment march 16, 2010
1.) Describe your assignment?
- Our assignment was to create a time line using the software from www.teach-nology.com, we choosed a topic on what our timeline will be on and researched dates based on the chronological order of that topic. Me and my partner desiree's topic was transportation and our them was Going for a ride!, so we created a time line based on the first types of transportation made. Then we used rubistar to generate a rubric based on students creating their time line and an online quiz from quiz-star which we generated questions based on the time line we made.
2.) What did you like about the time line websites? Rubistar and Quiz-star?
- With the time line websites it was really easy to use because it is simple and fairly easy to create a time line because all you have to do is input the data. With the rubistar and quiz-star it was easy and good as well because all the details were there and all you had to do was input your expectations and questions and the software generates it for you.
3.) How would you use these sites for a classroom assignment?
- The way i would use these sites for my classroom is if I were to have a time line project I would make them go to this website and generate their time line using it so that it is easier for them to create a timeline. Also for the rubistar I would use this site to make rubrics for my students project as well as quiz star to generate a quiz for them as well.
4.) how would you rate each software on a scale of 1 to 10?
- I would rate these softwares on a scale of 8 because even though it was easy you cant really do anything creative with it. But overall it was a good software to use.
