Observations of my FPLC “New Technologies” – Spring 2008

“Ownership” what it means to each generation. In 2004 no ownership – use each others WebPages. Educause article linked. Elearning - students now Greg Pratt Dr. Millron hand your PDA’s over to each other for our generation very scary!!

http://www.zamzar.com – convert videos to PowerPoint slides

Screenmaker.com allows you to edit and cut youtube videos down.

Zotero – organizer

Linkify.com – drag it up to your toolbar

Mathmom.org

Voki.com – create a talking avatar - get and give audio feedback to your students in class to help in retention and create community, even does Spanish

Mypodcast.com

Gabcast.com

Gcast – use a cell phone to podcast - it is that easy!!

Ethics = Al Upton and the Mini Legends – This blog has been disabled in compliance with the Department of Education and Children’s services. – too much student identifying information

Mentored kids from all over the world – got all release forms – did everything right! and still got an order for closure!!!

Institutional Review Board Guidebook

FERPA records release of information and registration office – privacy on blogs

Is anonymity the same as anonymous?

Millennials are more open older generation is more reserved.

Utterz – be herd = cell phones have cameras can now upload videos, text, images to sites

In Google reader – you can share your RSS feeds, but Google decides who to share it with – Ethics of endorsing what you are sharing – beer inapproiate for minors example.

Nightvision cameras used at movie premiers sop you cannot steal it – “surfthechannel” from movies and tv shows

AZ Republic article motivation money exercise with technology

Create a blog vs post on a blog problem that the students have.

Traditional 4 year institution with a traditional 18-21 population – issue “I didn’t sign up for that” I took a face to face class because I didn’t want to work on a computer!! Is there a way to make in the course catalog top say that this is a technology heavy class? Flag our own MCC classes. Deans getting complaints (our population is different)

Face to face vs. online – still thought of a two different things!!! Is gaming the way to tie together the hybrids = promote thinking in a new way.

Technology and copyright -Cassette tapes off the radio – broadcast media not copyrighted – not going out to million of hits. Examples Girl loads her favorite song on myspace from itunes – gone after 24 hours – copyright removed by mySpace – it is illegal – has no clue!!!

Scholarship shifting the establishment hasn’t caught up – we are not reconigized for our teaching – promoted for research only.

“How students are learning” article

Nerd speak “ annotated bibliographies are just comments - just like watching a DVD with the director’s commentary on – it is 2-3 sentences about what the article is about.

“apple pies for whales “ask a ninja about podcasting”
