Today was a mellow day which was nice. I like learning about the clickers and the other internet program that offered a similar option as the clicker, but for reasonable less. I think this would be a great thing to use for a review day for a test. Because then you could see where a majority of the students answers lie and see what the common misconceptions were or the possible error could be and help change those. It is also a great way to have kids sort of see where they lie and if it is wrong or write and maybe have a discussion about why a majority of the answers are what they are or not.
We also learned about sites that are fake and how to be able to spot those things. Although some of them are fun to look at and physically exist on the internet, it doesn't mean that students should use these as sources or even be looking at some of them. I think that was a good wake up call and an awareness of what people can put online and it really goes along with the phrase "you can't always believe what you read."
My iMovie group was able to finish our video today. It may not be the smoothest thing, but to be able to see how it all works and to be somewhat familiar with how to run the program is a good idea if I ever plan on working with video technology in the future. It might be fun to have groups as a homework assignment create their own lessons about a section in the book and then have them uploaded onto youtube and or another universal site so that our class can go on and watch their lecture and do an assignment or post comments on them as well.
