Week 5: Entering the TaskStream of Consciousness

Nourished by Arie Stavchansky http://stavchansky.net
Wherever we go, here we are.  We have completed 1/3 = .333 = 33% of the course,  so everyone is officially 33% technology nerd, right?  I hope so.  I will be handing out tape for those of you with glasses, but only enough for one side. . .the rest will be distributed week 10.  Also, you can now officially wear white socks and hike up your pants one inch. . .of course, you are not ready for your pocket protectors. . .yet ;-)




This week:  We will look at TaskStream this evening and discuss how to request feedback and write your narratives.  We will also begin writing the NETS-T narratives for standard 1 using Google Docs.  If you have not already enrolled  in the CSUSM Local TPE in TaskStream (as was mentioned in week 1), here is the code:  
Local TPE: 6SG3BA
I will also revisit the assignments from last week to ensure you understand what to do and discuss Dropbox with the Monday class.  If you haven't joined dropbox, click here, and register.  You cannot download Dropbox at school, but you can use the web-based aspect.  You can download the program at home.



Journal 4: "It's Time to Trust Teachers with the Internet," by Dian Schaffhause from The Journal website.  It's actually an interview from an online newsletter, but it was an interesting topic that is important for today's schools.  Using Citation Machine site as a webpage, not an Internet publication.

Journal 5:  As this is extra credit, and a new L&L should come out early next week, you can choose any article from the March 2011 L&L.  I assume you should have access to the digital edition early next week.  All journals are due March 4.


This Week's Question:  What should every teacher know about you?

    I am a hands-on learner. If you lecture me, but do not allow be to be part of the learning process, I will not remember much. Multiple choice style tests give me panic attacks. I am sensitive, but very dedicated.

    Team based learning is probably my favorite way of learning.. a large lecture type setting is definitely not my ideal learning scenario.

    One thing that teachers should know about me is that I am a visual learner. I tend to learn from reading the textbooks instead of from the actual teacher.

    I really try to catch up on any assigned readings but regardless of how interested I am, it is very likely I will fall asleep on the book within a short amount of time. My friends from college have lots of pictures of this. :) So I am trying! I really am!

    I have a hard time sitting still for long periods of time, I like to always be doing something. This is why having a computer in class usually is not a good idea for me. I tend to be on Facebook and whatnot, so to keep me busy and focused I usually write a lot of notes by hand. I also like to talk and joke a lot too, it's especially hard for me to be quiet for a long period of time. I do best in classes I can have fun in and participate with the whole class my experience, opinion, etc. related to the course. If it's one that I have to sit still and quiet the whole time, I will end up talking to my friend next to me, or if I don't have friends in the course I'll end up talking to anyone who's sitting next to me. I have a lot to say :-). I'm sure you figured some of that out already...
