EDLD 5366 - Group Site

This is our group site.  On the assignment we were asked to include the following:

Your website will contain at least 6 pages to include a homepage with your logo and an overview of the site, a parent page that provides resources related to the integration of teaching, learning, and technology, a regular education teacher page that provides technology resources and research on current uses of technology,  a special needs teacher page that provides resources and current research on uses of technology with special needs students , a How-To page for teachers and students that describes how to create an animation and instructions for at least two other Web 2.0 tools, and a digital ethics page that provides resources for digital citizenship, ethical uses of technology, and creative common license. Be sure to include options for others to provide feedback and comments on each of the pages.

I am VERY proud of our group, their work, research, and our final product.  It is a wonderful resource!!

Animation

When asked to create an animation with at least 10 steps, I created this very simple animation. Although I am not impressed by my animation-creation skills, this one it gets the job done!

This is my example of an animation using 16 steps as my stick-figure attempts to catch a ball, falls, flips, and then catches the ball on it's head.  Check it out!

EDLD 5366 Week 1 - Digital Project for C.R.A.P.

Using www.glogster.com, I created a glog, or digital poster, to use with my teachers during professional development trainings to integrate technology into their classrooms. I have used Glogster with my students for the past few years, but it was rewarding to create one of my own again. I really enjoyed designing this glog! This digital project represents the principles of design: Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity.  I used contrasting text color with the background.  Repetition is displayed in the common topics throughout the glog.  I aligned text and images to follow lines of symmetry.  Common topics are grouped together to demonstrate proximity.
