How-Tuesday: How to Stay Cool from etsy

Summer: we long for it and then try to cope with it! In this video from etsy, many ways to keep cool are suggested that hopefully reduce electric energy consumption at the same time!

Fun With Water by Sel

I would add

• closing all the blinds and curtains and remaining oblivious to summer: this really works to cool the home. 
• lying totally sprawled on the floor and not moving one muscle: play dead
• filling the tub with cool water, and leaving it there for repeated dousing visits: do not share!
• do absolutely nothing that involves using any of your own energy supplies: this includes thinking
• when possible keep any skin parts from touching other skin parts: walk with legs wide apart and arms akimbo
• still pondering!

Playing With New Finds #1

Here is an Avatar I created for myself at FaceYourManga : http://faceyourmanga.com/

At this site you can create a customizable avatar(s) and download for use. I think you can make a whole collection if you wish, and you can share with others if you so desire. It was quite fun to play with all of the different features especially the many types of glasses!

I plan on making a complete file of images that I can use for....who knows what?

For example, meet Natty...

Inquiry Into Digital Content: Jackbert Digital Production!

Robin and Jeannette's final project for the EDER 679.25 Educational Technology course is posted on our joint wiki at URL: http://eder67925finaljackbert.wikispaces.com/

The challenge originally given was to create a digital story and share the resulting artifact in an online setting together with a supporting explanation and reflection. We were able to choose any topic that pertained to the reasons we had for choosing this course as part of our ongoing studies. The final title for our digital project is Digital Content and Inquiry : A Jackbert Production. We had much fun and challenges during the planning and construction of our movie and hope you enjoy the results of our collaboration! Would love some feedback

Modern Times by Profound Whatever

I have included the video below to emphasize the idea that schools are places of collaborative-individual learning and that by embracing the potential of the continually emerging technologies both online and offline; both in the real and virtual; both the physical and the imaginative; we offer the best of educational landscapes for constructing and creating knowledge. In addition we must be willing and open to change and innovation , which means that, as Diane Laufenberg states in this presentation, "if we continue to look at education as if it's about coming to school to get the information and not about experiential learning, empowering student voice and embracing failure, we're missing the mark."  I would add that these same sentiments apply to teachers as much as to their own students and classrooms as we have tried to exemplify in the production and rationale for our digital artifact.

 

TEDx Talk: How to Learn? From Mistakes by Diana Laufenberg

Our digital creation contains brief examples of the following components we consider implicit for a social-constructivist inquiry context for Teaching and Learning. This was created using the following online applications: SimpleDiagrams, MindNode Pro, and stock.xchng. at http://www.sxc.hu/
