Session 9: July 19th The DISCUSSION
Session 9:
I decided to list a few of my favorite Educational Websites that I like to use in my room. Please post a reply with some of yours. If you are unaware of this enjoy. :-) Of course all of these would be used to enhance your blogs. In fact you would probably create a blog with specific links to pages and have students Blog on them. For Example: Below Joe, Keith, and Robert could all link the first 3 to their Blogs, pick a math topic, and then have the students respond to a prompt or quesiton about that skill.
1. AAAmath.com
2. Math.com
3. Aleks (paid service, but worth it)
4. UnitedStreaming.com (Awesome videos)
5. Digital Frog (disection without the annimal)
6. Brain Pop (annimated viedos)
7. Intel Journey Inside the Computer (great intro to computers)
If you don't have any, see how Cancer you are. Happy Birthday to all you Cancers (this is a fun thing you can put into your blogs pretty easily by clicking on Edit Html above this text field, over there on the right side, that is if you are in the Edit Post or Create Post) these are free if you click on the link below my results:
I have used these survey's in the past 2 classes to have fun while learning. There are many out there I cannot put on my Blog, but there are many that you can use in your classroom to help your blog along. I can see the kids now saying, "I wonder what survey Mr./Ms./Mrs. _____ has us doing this week? Enjoy.:-)
Enjoy,
Dale

The United Streaming website:
It's about time someone provided a vault of multimedia and provide it as an available online teaching service.
I'm always a big supporter of incorporating multimedia into instruction.

There is also www.unitedstreaming.com, both sites are owned by Discovery.com and will be merged soon
That's very interesting and good to know.
I have another bookmark!
Thanks...

Thanks for the links one of my new personal favorites is the NASA link in my last blog. There is so much there it is amazing. I took you cancer quiz I'm only a 47% - guess that's why I am a pisces!
Keith, Nope, I only recommend these links now, I utilize AAA now via the Tiger Bistro (our school wide computer lab). I have been known to show a student or two it in my tech classes.
What was your Cancer score?
James,
"The “Microsoft Cert”. Instead of taking a crash course and spending $3,000 to $6,000 dollars at one of the IT institutes" Thanks for the infor on this and all your thoughts throughout the class. I have toyed around with the MS Cert myself and never followed through on it. One last question on this: Was it worth all the work for yourself?
Thanks for all your input on Podcasting, I now feel that I understand it, but my shows will continue to improve over the next year.
“...the MS Cert myself and never followed through on it. ...Was it worth all the work...?”
Four points:
(1) According to Microsoft, there is a $10,000 -$15,000 dollar pay difference between an MCSE administrator and an administrator who is not certified. I found this to be accurate.
(2) In the business sector, there are certain companys who require their IT and MIS department members to be certified. You have no choice but to be certified. My motto: be prepared!
(3) For the newbie without experience, certification shows a potential employer that the candidate for hire is serious about learning and working with a particular operating system or component. This is not just for the newbie - There will always be upgrades and new versions of operating systems.
(4) In transitioning my career to broadband, the certification helped me to further build a foundation in technology that would supplement my background and experience in broadcasting.
-----------
There are a lot of pro and con arguments dealing with any of the certifications (Novel, Cisco, Solaris, etc). Most of these arguments center on lack of experience. The certification was never meant to replace years of experience. The certification is not a documentation of work experience or hours that the candidate has worked with a particular operating system or one of its components (server). The certification does provide a quintessential representation that the person holding an awarded certificate by a certain company is acknowledging that the candidate has a familiarity and working knowledge in managing a particular OS or component.
And so the argument continues...
