Day two left me a little less enthusiastic than day 1. We spent too much time in the beginning of class fighting with technology instead of using it when trying to make these cards. I'm not entirely sure what the cards were for or how to use them in a class. I think it may have just been easier to make the cards by hand instead of by mouse.
We eventually moved on to talking about podcasts. I've listened to a few but am not too hip to them. I'm not sure what I think about using them in the high school setting. I feel like they may be more trouble than they're worth, to be honest. We were broken up into groups based on our concentration area and given the task of coming up with ideas for a multidimensional podcast. My partner and I chose to do ours on logarithms.

Matt, have you forgotten the astounding joy of sitting in a classroom and watching a teacher fumble around with a VCR for 15 minutes only to say the hell with it and move on to somthing entirely different? High schoolers dream of that sort of thing, but I beg you to disappoint them and get on with it with or without all this newfangled technology.
ReplyDeleteMintz, I think we could have milled the paper to create the cards by hand faster than stumbling through that MS word hogwash. Patience will be key in mastering these new technologies.
