Reflection from Jane Keyes Dec 3 Podcast Project

This post goes out to Randee, Dru, Sue G., Nancy, Donna, Pam G. Pat D. & Gail D., people who took the Dec 3 workshop with Jane Keyes for grad credit. Below I have copied in the summary of what this course entailed...over and above Randy Yerrick and Vernier Probe training that come of you also took. You all owed this course 6 hours of class work which we all agreed to complete as described below.

Your post here will be your reflection on your experience with this project or using the macbooks with students to create Podcasts, video diaries or whater you chose to do. As always please give a brief summary of what you did and then comment on...

What went well?
What might you do differently next time?
What evidence of student learning did you see?

You have attended the 2 day workshop with Randy Yerrick on Infusing Technology into Science lessons and read the two articles that were emailed to you about inquiry instruction. Please post a response (approx.150 - 200 words)to the following question... How will implement the technologies that we have used in our workshop to raise the level of inquiry in your classroom? Will the use of technology facilitate raising the level of inquiry?

Using Data Collection Probes in your Classroom

Welcome to the Bridging the Gap... Scientifically blog, a grant partnership with Beverly and Salem High School science teachers.  This first discussion will be about classroom implementation of what we learned during our 2 day Vernier Data Collection Probe training.

Please post a comment about your experience with using data collection probes in the classroom....What went well? Not so well? What issues did you have? What might you do differently the next time? By February 1.....please post a comment and then come back later to review all comments and post a response to what you have read. This should all be completed no later than February 9th

Remember that not only is this activity a course requirement for graduate credit....but it can also be a useful way to benefit from the experiences of your colleagues!
