The assignment for week 6 was very relevant to what I have been dealing with at school. We have files all over our server that are misnamed and it is taking a lot of time to go through them. I like the idea of doing a podcast for the information. I have used podcasts in the past as well as had students create them but have never done a transcript of the podcast. That is something I need to work on.
As far as my links, I am including a link to the list of links I could use for my project. I have been searching through Youtube and found many tutorials on Moodle that will help me. My plan is to download all of the youtube clips and save them on my computer to upload to Moodle and the district server so the students can view them.
I am getting excited about the project because the pieces are coming together. I know that I will be creating movies and podcasts to help my students navigate through Moodle when I am comfortable.

Hola Chris,
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you are planning meaningful instruction. As an English teacher, I've always made a conscious effort to stay away from video. I mean how many opportunities do these kids get to read and write. I suspect not too much. I've always concluded to maximize on literacy in my instruction time - i try to stick it to 'em every moment of class.
But I'm coming over to your side. I'm going to look up moodle. I talked with a San Diego State student and English tutor on our campus. Her classes at State are full of visual learning.
I'll be looking forward to what you come up with.
Paz,

p.s. I have a new book for you. Haruki Murakimi's book on Running. I just read a few of his short stories. He has a weird style that I am interested in. Anyways, when I looked him up at Amazon.com, I found he wrote a book about marathon running. Here I provide a interview with him from Runner's World:
