Romanesque vs. Gothic Architecture

NECC Presentation

This summer I had the chance to go to an education conference in Washington D.C. and present a paper that I wrote on webcasting lectures for students. It was a lot of fun and I learned a great deal for all the presenters there.

Teaching Simulation Gone Wrong

Simulations can be an amazing teaching tool. I try to use them as often as possible in class. Watch the video below and answer the following questions:
1. What did Dwight do well?
2. What did Dwight do terribly wrong?!
3. How can we apply this to our own classroom simulations?

Time Machine Extra Credit

There is a great free program that we will be using for this course called VoiceThread. VoiceThread lets a user post an image or video and then anyone can comment on it (they can even draw on the image if they like). If you click on the picture above it will take you to this particular VoiceThread. You will hear a recording I made describing the assignment and you will also be able to hear or read your peer's comments.

In order to earn extra credit you will need to register and make a comment yourself. Below the picure of the book will be a box that says "sign in or register." You will need to register and upload a picture for your identity. I used a picture of myself but it can be any appropriate image/picture you like. Now you are ready to earn some extra credit and make a comment describing your own "time machine." You can do this by using a webcam, microphone, cellphone, or just typing it with your keyboard. This is a great opportunity for you to become familiar with this program before we start using it more regularly in class. Have fun with it!
