Can't believe another class in the MEIT program is done as of today! It is good timing since today was our first day of school....I'm exhausted!!
Today I had one of my classes create a collage of 10 pictures that represent themselves that I will have them print off & hang up around the room. Looking at the picture collages gives me a peek into each of their lives & shows me what they like to do and about their personalities. Keeping in mind copyright issues that we talked about last week in class & did assignments on this past week, I had them use Google Images Advanced Search Options to find their pictures. I had them only use pictures "labeled for reuse" in their collages, and we had a quick conversation about copyright. I plan to continue to teach them about copyright issues as I become more familiar with all of the rules myself.
Tomorrow in my Web Tools class I'm going to use the "Four NETS for Better Searching" webquest that was discussed in 'week 2' of class (http://webquest.sdsu.edu/searching/fournets.htm) as an activity to teach them about more effective searches on the Internet prior to having them do a research assignment on the Internet. That's all for now....I'm wiped out after the first day at the grind. :)
