Sept 24 TAsk 2 Reading and journal Reflection Reading-5 ways technology can help satisfy the goals of a learner centred classroom 1)Shift the balance of power toward the learner ie:wikis, online quizes 2)Use content to organize activities ie:LMS, online syllabus 3)Teaching is facilitating learning ie:surveys, clickers 4)Responsibility for learning rests with the learner ie:blogs, wikis 5)Evaluation provides a way to foster learning ie:online quiz banks and platforms

I like the format of an online course syllabus and online surveys I have been the recipient of same and agree it places the learner in an accountable mode.

Journal Reflection-How come we can't learn as we live really struck me. We are all silos into a cookie cutter shaped program to come out in the end all the same so if we are taught in a technological way then go to a University that teaches traditional it is confusing. We need to think globally and encourage our youth to be creative to compete with a global market of students vying for our jobs. Outsourcing is a threat to our youth. The power of introverts made me reflect on my 2 kids,one is an extrovert and the other an introvert and how they learn are in 2 different ways.One is cerebral the other artistic. I hope that they are courageous enough to do what they love. WHile I grew up thinking that the only way to succeed is to position yourself where the job market is thriving I feel at times my inner desire to have chosen what I really wanted to do as a kid was smothered-I really wanted to be an airline attendant.

Oct 2 Task 2 Reading and reflection The Flipped Classroom www.knewton.com/flipped-classroom/ The Flipped Classroom:Pro and Con www.edutopia.org/blog/flipped-classroom-pro-and-con-mary-beth-hertz In summary the model inverts traditional teaching by providing instruction via online videos followed by classroom support to dispel any gaps or questions. FOunded in 2007 by 2 American teachers ,they were driven by poor student outcomes ie: only 69% of students entering high school actually finish after 4 years. Educational technology and activity learning are the key components of the model.The model benefits students who have missed classes. The student has more 1:1 time with the teacher as a guide on the side as they term it. The con of this model however is that not all students have the benefit of a home computer and must rely on library hours or DVD copies. Videos also must include a variety of approaches, good sound and image quality and meet curriculum.

Scott: Wow Carol! That's awesome. I had no idea that instructors were employing these devices on a regular basis.

October 9 assignment Task 2 The Webquest that I would develop would be for nurses who require education on how to initiate intravenous therapy. The 3 websites that would be beneficial for my teaching are: 1. The facility policy site is only available on the intranet so I am unable to copy it here. I have provided an alternate site. http://www.wrha.mb.ca/professionals/ivids/index.php 2. Pictures of the hand/arm anatomy- [|imgres] 3. The online textbook is only available on the facility intranet. I have provided an alternate site on how to start an intravenous. [|Intravenous line insertion]

Objects and info I would need to create the webquest and their purpose is as follows: 1. I would provide text instructions that would ask them to find the facility's policy on how to start an intravenous. To read it and compare it to the Clinical Textbook on their unit. They would then need to provide what the differences are. This is important because they need to abide by the policy and know that the reference manual is a guideline only. 2.I would provide a picture of the veins of the arm and hand and ask them to identify the names of the veins. This is important because they need to understand the anatomy so they know where to initiate an intravenous. This is a Discovery learning Approach, the nurses have previous knowledge of the anatomy, now they are needing to look at the veins more specifically. 3. I would provide a video link to the online textbook on how to start an intravenous. This is important because some learners are visual learners.

Kyle-Presented well, energetic, content needed to be organized for me to understand how outcomes and evaluations were linked to each leaning centred approach. Melanie-I liked the engagement of the presentation, passed around an example of what she would use was great, ,clear presentation flowed well, to the point. Well done. Danya-Combined a variety of visuals with pictures, video and info. Easy to follow. Rob-Prizi was neat and different but it had a lot of content in it to read which distracted me from the presenter. I like ROb's style of presenting he is engaging and has a loud clear voice that keeps your attention. Bitia-Great Prizi, easy to follow, to the point, some of the press missed some outcomes but it was explained verbally. Daryl-Super presentation, kept my interest, simple to the point and draws the students to listen to him, pleasant and even keeled. Andrew-Great Prezi although at times it was hard for me to follow as it went back and forth with what they currently teach and what they would like to teach. Aaron- outcomes were clear, even though Prezi didn't have some of them listed. I like the example of the engine light on and figuring it out on their own, hands on is great! , Cindy-I found the Animoto presentation a bit distracting, but I think the concept is cool! I like that they give a copy of their research findings to other students.Nice presentation. Don-Clear Prezi-very good! I like the practice boards idea, they get to learn in a safe environment. Troubleshooting indeed is critical to learning. Harry-clear and to the point presentation-always a challenge to change status quo and train in the real world isn't? Steven- clear presentation, strategies for novice and experienced learners is great idea, evaluating each and together is good, written and observation is combining other modes as well. Good job! Johanna- Clear outcomes, presentation easy to follow, to the point. A good variety of teaching tools. Ruth-self assessment is under rated I think it's great, I think a rubric is a great idea, something I haven't used but would like to incorporate. Great job on WebQuest! Derek- clear and concise, I like the idea of peers picking each other to practice next. Scott-incorporating video good idea for visual learner, passing along group projects to peers is good feedback,picking one good thing they did wel l is a great idea. Great job! Michelle-journaling is a wonderful time to reflect, I really like your presentation in red, it is eye catching,diorama is great kinesthetic learning tool,well laid out presentation

Project based learning Ruth- great presentation, nice delivery, easy to follow presentation, kept my interest. Different styles of learning proves we all need a variety to choose from just like our students, Notes to self*set realistic goals, in depth learning with research, which tool, where to do , get expert advice-know the why , what else did I learn, do students have the prior learning so you know what to teach,our experiences impact our learning goals driven by needs and wants, give student choice for intrinsic motivation. Scott/Derek-great presentation, it was clear that you are sympathetic with how our learners may struggle with learning a new topic,and filter thru how to navigate the information. Michelle-excellent, wonderful way to learn,I am visual learner as well and I got more out of this style of delivery then a powerpoint. Rob/Bitia- great presentation, made me want to try painting. A blend of speaking and Prizi was well done to captivate me. Cindy-nice combination of prezi with amioto and pictures and videos-lots of tools used here, excellent. Melanie-well done despite being under duress to produce-I felt I learned alot even without the bells and whistles of Prezi for example.

Don-Good presentation, the IMovie is great idea, good job.I think I would use the IMovie in my practice for presentations Harry-good presentation, clear and concise,intrinsic learning is ideal. .Steve-good prezi, clear and I got the sense that he was trying and was careful to do the right thing which I think some of our learners go thru Johanna-good presentation, it is interesting that you chose something that you hate to do -good for you, our students must go thru this all the time. Danya-good presentation I'll watch for your video, the good and the bad of technology but you handled it well. Kyle-I like the style of the presentation, visually appealing, You definitely sound like you have passion for this subject. Daryl /Andrew-excellent good job to the point, learned alot.

Aaron- great instructional presentation-I'll pass this along to my friend thanks
