ED250+Online+lesson+Nov.+6

= = ONLINE LESSONS, NOVEMBER 6 AND 8, 2012 = =

=Thursday, November 8. Welcome class, to hopefully our last "online" Classroom Management session.= =I really miss being there in person. Please sign in to the Discussion post. =

== Today's lesson is focusing on the "fillers" and extra enrichment activities needed for those "fast-finisher" kids. Actually these are great V.A.K. strategies for all students! (Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic). ==

== *Usually you want to tie these "fillers" with educational objectives. Let's start with those you can have students do on the computer, when they have finished their assignment, or during free-time or reward time. ==

=__ YOUR TASK FOR TODAY: __= = Complete the following 4 steps in order. Do not rush. Be sure and POST A RESPONSE in the Discussion/conversation bubbles, after each step. =

Please POST RESPONSE: "My Favorite Fun Filler".
=== 2. Here's where you can tie in with student's different abilities and likes. It goes along with Gardner's Multiple Intelligences of being one or more of these types of learners: Visual-spatial, Bodily-kinesthetic, Musical-rhythmic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalist, Verbal-Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical. // (Pay attention to the ones you really liked, and the links that didn't work.) //===


 * DOWNLOAD THIS DOCUMENT AND PUT IT ON YOUR DESKTOP: [[file:Learning Styles and Technology.doc]] **
 * Please POST RESPONSE "Different Types of Learners' Website" **

=== 3. Are you having fun yet? You can always have a link on your school page for students to go to to explore other educational games related to your content. Here's a popular link to my 'Mrs. Norland Wiki: Just for Fun" page I used with middle school kids, though I have to admit that YES, some were "just for fun!" ===

Fillers Just for Fun

2. Next, try out the discussion posts. On the top bar of this screen, you will see a double conversation bubble symbol with a number by it. It is on the right side, next to the EDIT button. Click on it, to see the discussion topics. You may choose one of the two topics to get started, type your comment in the REPLY box, and POST.

3. We are having class online on Tuesday, Nov. 6, during our regular meeting time from 11:00-11:50. You won't need to be onlne that whole time, but I will explain that tomorrow. I will take attendance and give participation points then.

It might be helpful to have highlighted key points for our discussion posts.
5. Email me if you are not able to join the Wiki, use the discussion posts, or understand the directions. Thanks! Professor Norland

STARTING AT 11:00, there will be new discussion posts added that you need to respond to. Make one or more comments to each of the new posts. Please comment back to each other, since, what's the point of a one-side conversation?
