My EDU2022 Projects

Project 1:    I designed my index.html file. This page introduces me as a teacher-to-be to the online visitor.
                   The quote and graphics reflect my professional and personal style.
                   I created email and course links in a table on my index page. I posted my index page using
                   WinSCP file transfer. My images are not copyrighted or I have permission to use them.

Project 2:   I created my resume according to the Joy Maril educator's model resume from EIU Career Services. 
                  I saved the MSWord file as a .pdf file, using the Adobe software. I named my file resume.pdf,
                  and posted it to the server. I linked my resume to this projects page and also directly to my index page.          

Project 3:   I posted a web resources page, a closet file of my most frequently used professional, academic, and
                  personal Web resources on a delicious account.
                  For each site I saved, I displayed the title, URL, and a few words (caption) about what I found there.
                  I tagged my sites with categories meaningful to me.

Project 4:   I explored several school sites and considered the ways technology is supporting learning at these schools.
                  I then chose one school to focus on - a fourth grade classroom in Florida that calls itself Jasztalville.
                  I wrote a reflective paragraph with links to examples of how technology supports learning at my selected school
                  which is also at a grade level and subject area of my choice. I began my essay by giving reasons
                  for choosing this school, grade level, and subject area. I incorporated several links into my short essay.
                  I showed children's work from an on-line school in my linked examples, and I linked this project
                  to a classroom podcast and a classroom blog. I named my file techinschools.html

Project 5:   I created a personal page, which I called All About Me. I included personal photos and information about myself. 
                  I also included created a Photostory to enhance this page. My Photostory is linked on the page.                             

Project 6:   I selected a curriculum theme, according the the categories listed in the course calendar link. For my curriculum
                  theme, I chose to study the novel The Giver. I framed my theme as an essential question.
                  I referred to Essential Questions links. I carefully researched my theme. 
                  I anticipated using these strategies when developing an inegrated teaching unit for my future class.
                  I provided a bulleted list of rationale statements explaining the reasons for and potential benefits of studying this theme.
                  I used evaluation categories to review an excellent Web site as a teacher and/or student resource for this
                  curriculum theme. 
                  I used the essential question as the title of my page, followed by the bulleted rationale, and site evaluation.
                  My site evaluation consisted of narrative paragraphs for each evaluation category:  Accuracy and Authority,
                  Content Relevance, Currency, and Coverage, Design and Navigation, and Additional Resources. 
                  I prominently displayed the site title and as a link to the reviewed site centered at the head of my review.
                  I gave specific examples from the selected site in each of my narrative paragraphs to justify my evaluation.
                  I named my file currtheme.html. I designed, linked, and posted the curriculum theme and site on my evaluation page.

Project 7:   I used Inspiration software to develop avenues for exploration of the curriculum theme. I exported (used the File
                  drop-down menu to find the export command) the Inspiration concept map as a .gif file and
                  imported it onto a Composer page. I posted this page (conceptmap.html) and the .gif file to the Web.
                  I linked the concept map here and on the Curriculum Theme page.

Project 8:   I used Excel and the GraphingWizard for a mathematical analysis related to my curriculum investigation.
                  I displayed my data and post my graph to the Web according to the tutorial in the Fewell/Gibbs text.
                  I named this file graph.html. I linked my graph here and on my Curriculum Theme page.

Project 9:   I created a SmartBoard Activity in support of my curriculum theme. I linked the activity to Project  6.

Project 10:  I evaluated a WebQuest or Web Inquiry Project closely related to my curriculum theme. I applied Illinois
                  content standards for technology and ISTE standards which are met in my WQ/WIP. I used
                  categories provided in the evaluation form linked here and provided in hardcopy in my course packet. I turned in a
                  hard copy page of the applied standards and a hard copy of the WQ or WIP evaluation with my margin notes
                  explaining my rating.

                  I linked the URL of the related WebQuest to my curriculum theme page AND here as Project 10.

Project 11:  I used Audacity software, created a podcast explaining the importance and extent of my chosen curriculum theme.
                   I added music and sound effects as appropriate. I inserted the link to my podcast at the beginning
                  of my curriculum theme page, under the essential question title.

Project 12: Using PowerPoint software, I created a presentation on a Computer Ethics topic. My presentation included explanation of the issue, my personal experience of the issue, and my current position on the issue. Appropriate links were imbedded in the presentation. I saved the presentation as a .mht file and link to Project 12, this page, with the disclaimer that the presentation as linked on the Web, cannot be read in Netscape. (Use Explorer, Mozilla, etc.)
