Week 5 Blog

Blog #5
2/16 - 2/23

This week we continued to look at the other Moodle pages. I've watched most of the videos other classmates have posted to their Moodle and they are good. It's just amazing to me that even in the early 2000's, recording a video was a cumbersome ordeal. One had to record on this huge camcorder and then if one wanted to watch it, one had to connect it to a VCR so that it could be shown on the tube. Now, recording can be done on a handheld device and uploaded to the internet: wireless. It's amazing how technology has come along. Dr. Sponder then re-introduced edShelf and I am glad he did. I signed up for an account a few weeks ago when he introduced it and I did not spend enough time to familiarize myself with it. He showed us some quick and dirty tips to get started and it was a good refresher to see him use it. I'll also make sure I get on the edShelf emailing list like he recommended. We also learned about Bitstorming and Maria and I are going to try and implement that into our PD on Tuesday. I have a better idea on what I would like to do for my Webex demonstration after hearing suggestions from Dr. Sponder and from my classmates. I have a couple of ideas, so now it is a matter of which one I would like to do. Finally, we were paired up to give each other feedback on our Moodle pages and were re-introduced to Google forms. I had to create a feedback form last semester for EDT 500. It was great to see Don demo how to create one because I had only created it once last semester and I forgot how to.
