Photostory

I have completed the Photostory assignment but I can't find a way to convert it out of the file format. I posted my work to my google docs and it can be downloaded to be viewed at this link.

I believe that this Photostory assignment supports the third ISTE NETS T standard the most. Section C states that teachers should communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. Photostory is a new format for me to communicate to students.

BenderConverter

I read through the uses of the BenderConverter.com site and used it to convert my lecture on the War of 1812 from a .wav file to a mp3 file type. This greatly reduced the size of the file and will allow me to transfer it around the web easier as a result. I loaded it onto google docs at this link.

This assignment best shows the third ISTE NETS standard. Specifically, section C that states that teachers communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. The ability to change formats of files aids a teacher greatly.

Jing Screencast

I used a small lesson on how to remove cookies from an internet browser for my Jing Screencast. It is at this link.

I believe that this Jing assignment supports the third ISTE NETS T standard the most. Section C states that teachers should communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. The Jing picture format is a new format for me to communicate.

I made an image to complete this assignment at this link. It is a picture of a few of the options for an internet browser with some added features from Jing added to the image.

YouTube video

I looked at YouTube videos and I want to use one that shows how to use a software product. I used the Prezi tool to show a video about Prezi. I am not sure if it saves the video on the Prezi creation tools or not. It is embed below:

VoiceThread

I was able to make a post onto the class Voice Thread introduction post. I had to make a brief online of what I was going to say, but after that it was not that hard to leave a quality response. I had to learn the audio recorder settings to get it right also.

This assignment most reflected ISTE NETS T Standard 3 in my opinion. This was a transfer of new technology for the students that were involved in this assignment.

Podcast post

I developed a podcast to review the history of the War of 1812. It reaches its bicentennial next year so there is some relevance to making a lecture on it. I have audacity downloaded and created a draft of my script here.

I loaded it onto google docs and the podcast can be found here. I couldn't get my internal microphone to record my intro song well at all. It was the finale to the 1812 overture.

This assignment most reflected ISTE NETS T Standard 3 in my opinion. This was a transfer of new technology for the students that were involved in this assignment.
