Agenda to Cover this week:
- Need a Title Page for our Project Page
- Need Project Plan Page
- Google Doc (complete)
Web Conference questions below:
Where should we put our pages for everyone to review and update? On our website created last course?
I definitely think we should use our previous website for this. Why reinvent the wheel? :) Team Awesome is back together again!
Here are some links that could help us come up with ideas for our group project differentiation lesson. Take a look at some or all of them when you get a chance. :)
Hey guys! Team Awesome is back again!
Elizabeth I think that is a great idea! I am attending the conference tonight and hope to get these questions answered.
GO TEAM A!
After attending the web conference, do you think we should just link our previous website to a new one to keep it from being cluttered with too much information?
Elizabeth, Thank you so much for the resources! Below you will notice 2 tables for us to fill in as we decide we are going to be doing. If everyone can start thinking of ideas for a lesson, fun activities, and etc to share on Sunday, that would be great! See you all then.
yes.
Link below is directly to the classroom scenario for our project.
Yay, go Team Awesome! Thank you so much for getting this set up for us!
Hey, everyone!
Hello all!! How’s the weather everywhere? Same here!!!
It’s sleeting and freezing up here. Tryna stay warm.
Same Here! Chatting is fine with me. I have read and watched the videos for this week, but I have not studied the project very closely.
So have any of you had a chance to look over this week? Or see the videos yet? Did you guys just want to do our first meet on here? We can do the chat feature of just type either way.
I read and watched all the videos, but I’m still confused on what the group project is. I’m ok with chatting on here also.Either works for me
Here is fine, chatting on here is easier.

Tag, Jeff.. you're it!
me
6:12 PM
lol
Elizabeth
6:13 PM
no, to world cultures.. :/
Marcus Arguello
6:13 PM
Let's focus around the Alamo, great numbers stuff for math... the battle itself is great for reading and writing...
me
6:14 PM
I can get a full unit and lessons tomorrow on Texas Revolution.
Jeffrey Mitchell
6:14 PM
awesome
Elizabeth King
6:14 PM
Yes, and maybe we can bring in gun control into the conversation.
Marcus Arguello
6:14 PM
Science can always be linked in with the battles
Dane Richardson
6:14 PM
sounds good
Elizabeth King
6:14 PM
haah
Do we have to cover all the core content areas?
me
6:15 PM
That's a whole other level!! !
Marcus Arguello
6:15 PM
I think as long as we have six areas... which could be tricky
me
6:15 PM
No, I was going to look at the unit and see how many lessons can be built off of it and we can each pick the lesson we want to concentrate on. How does that sounds?
Jeffrey Mitchell
6:15 PM
That sounds good April
Brandon Stumon
6:15 PM
sounds good to me
Elizabeth King
6:15 PM
Good.. Has anyone taught it lately or in the past?
Jeffrey Mitchell
6:16 PM
I have not.
Brandon Stumon
6:16 PM
i taught last semester
Marcus Arguello
6:16 PM
We used Travis's letters in class. Then we wrote an expository piece off of it.
Elizabeth King
6:17 PM
Oooohhh... that's good Marcus..
You're off the hook, Jeff. Brandon and Marcus are it now, lol
me
6:17 PM
I taught US history 8th grade the past 3 years, but now I'm instructional technology
Jeffrey Mitchell
6:17 PM
lol
Brandon Stumon
6:17 PM
i teach texas history currently
Elizabeth King
6:18 PM

me
6:18 PM

Elizabeth King left group chat.
Elizabeth King joined group chat.
me
6:20 PM
Marcus are you talking about what you just did in class?
Marcus Arguello
6:21 PM
Right before Christmas break...
Elizabeth King
6:22 PM
Have any of you looked at the sample websites, Dr. Cummings shared with us at the web conference?
Dane Richardson
6:22 PM
I am looking at it right now
Brandon Stumon
6:22 PM
We made Battle maps showing every major battle of the war
Elizabeth King
6:22 PM
Those will probably be our biggest assets.
Dane Richardson
6:23 PM
Main Objective: create a unit plan to solve a classroom scenario, focus will be to design developmentally appropriate learning opportunities that apply technology-enhanced instructional strategies to support the diverse needs of learners
me
6:24 PM
Yes, and I looked at Dr. Cummings examples website. The only resources on there are the scenario, an ebook example, and link to lesson builder
Elizabeth King
6:24 PM
Question: how much technology is supposed to be used in the lessons?Is the whole lesson technology based? If so, are we assuming that students have their own laptops/Ipads?
Dane Richardson
6:24 PM
I think that we can decide that
me
6:24 PM
I think it needs to incorporate technology, but I don't think it all has to have technology in it.
Brandon Stumon
6:24 PM
i would think technology would just aide the lesson
me
6:25 PM
we can ask on wednesday
Marcus Arguello
6:25 PM
Agree with April and Brandon
Jeffrey Mitchell
6:25 PM
i would just assume it would be classroom provided iPads/laptops & i wouldn't think it would all be technology...like brandon said, just used as an aide
Dane Richardson
6:25 PM
I think it is to incorporate technology with theories like connectivism and constructivism
Elizabeth King
6:26 PM
Cool..way to apply your acquired knowledge, Dane!
Brandon Stumon
6:26 PM
sounds about right
Elizabeth King
6:26 PM
I am all about constructivism and connectivism.. that cyborg theory creeps me out. ha
Dane Richardson
6:26 PM
Same here
Brandon Stumon
6:26 PM
yeah that one was weird
Dane Richardson
6:27 PM
But if we were cyborgs we could just have a chip placed in our minds that had all this information already done
me
6:27 PM
Yea, but in reality that's our near future!!
Brandon Stumon
6:27 PM
elizabeth I guess we can take you off the list to get a chip inserted in your arm
me
6:27 PM
Elizabeth King
6:27 PM
True, Dane. ha
@Brandon, I grew up in church so the chip in the arm equates to the mark of the beast lol
Jeffrey Mitchell
6:28 PM
lol
Brandon Stumon
6:28 PM
lol
me
6:28 PM
You guys crack me up
Elizabeth King
6:28 PM
