I hope to have that ironed out by the end of the day..<br />I need to figure out what is left to do with the class wiki. I can't believe how much the class has already done! How did we have time to do that during this website <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">experience</span>?<br /><br />Thanks <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">everyone</span> for your support and help!

Where are you Week 8..<br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> ready to be done, well not really that would mean I need to be done with my assignments and I assure you I am not where close to ready for that.<br />Well some good news- we don't have to lead a discussion. Though with the way my website is shaping up I just posted to lead a discussion on the Discussion Board because I can see <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> going to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">desperately</span> need the points!<br />So I hope its something I can fit in my day and still have the time to work on everything else that I need to...<br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> glad to have <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">moodle</span> checked off list <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">completely</span> and behind me.<br />I really need to dedicate more time to the class wiki. I have a bad feeling of a couple long nights coming up!<br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> trying really hard to not have to spend the weekend on the computer- Its a big birthday weekend :)<br />On to more classwork!JamieMcCleesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10739780763079549215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089709416978127863.post-10201879046626035492009-07-22T08:20:00.000-07:002009-07-22T08:29:09.366-07:00Week 6While I am happy that we are already on week 6, I also step back and can not believe how fast this has gone as well as the summer feels like its flying by. Then I get out my list and realize all that is left to do in 2 1/2 weeks of this class. Gosh talk about mind blowing.....<br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Moodle</span> is due next Friday so I really need to start plugging stuff away on that site to make sure <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> on the right track.<br />I have decided for this project on an Environmental Science Lesson for Middle School Students. A weekly topic discussion on types 5 different types of storms. So I have been busy looking and researching some stuff here as well as making sure I am contributing as much as I have time for the class wiki.<br /><br />I have decided to download the Microsoft <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Web Expressions</span> but I have not learned anything about it yet and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> waiting to see if anyone else in the class has any insight on the program- ANY help would be greatly appreciated!JamieMcCleesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10739780763079549215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089709416978127863.post-23924365384005315642009-07-16T09:11:00.000-07:002009-07-16T09:44:33.299-07:00Week 5Week 5 starts with the design due on our instructional website.<br />I got that completed- Not <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">surprising</span> that I was not sure exactly what was needed for the design. But I think that I got enough information down to make a run at this website once I start plugging things away into a host for the project.<br />The Podcast is due tomorrow. I have also completed this- I decided to do a podcast on how to set up an account on Blogger.com. It only seemed fitting after using the same topic for my instructional website. I hope it sounds <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">ok</span> and I can even use it as part of the website! That would be a bonus.<br />Our class is also working on the wiki this week. Some things are getting posted and people are getting the ball rolling. I really need to spend some time working on this this weekend!<br />Also whats the deal with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">moodle</span> and what is expected there?JamieMcCleesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10739780763079549215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089709416978127863.post-80572939202187651842009-07-08T08:38:00.000-07:002009-07-08T08:58:45.815-07:00Website DesignThis week I have <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">actively</span> been working on the website design assignment.<br />This has proven to be a lot more challenging to me then I would have ever guessed.<br />I have already taken the authoring systems class so I thought I would be <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">OK</span> but <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> starting to second guess myself.<br />I understand the tables indicating the information, interaction, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">connectivity</span> and I have my goals and objectives.. I guess the main trouble I am having is this storyboard part.<br />Any one else wondering exactly what we are suppose to do on this?<br /><br />Also I am working on setting all this up on a site that I don't have to buy.... I have already used my free downloading of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">dreamweaver</span>.<br />I logged on to the site-<a href="http://www.kompozer.net/">http://www.kompozer.net/</a> but I have not downloaded anything yet.<br />Has anyone used this site before?

The protest and so on..<br />I happen to hear them talking about the importance of Social Networking and look up to the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">TV</span>.<br />They say the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">protesters</span> in Iran are turning to social <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">networking</span> sites like Twitter.com and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Facebook</span> to report the latest news. Right now they are reporting on an Iranian girls pictures she has posted on twitter.<br />So then the news <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">corespondents</span> are talking about how social networking sites such as twitter are helping them to report the most up to date news information.<br /><br />I found this interesting- though I will be focusing mainly on how we can integrate social networking into the classroom.<br />Here is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Fox News</span> getting most of their headlines from twitter.com!JamieMcCleesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10739780763079549215noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089709416978127863.post-41230954345013998142009-06-22T07:43:00.000-07:002009-06-22T07:46:51.842-07:00WebQuest vs. Instructional WebsiteI am reading on the two assignments that are going to be do before I even know it and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> trying to figure out what I want to do for both, how I can integrate the two so I can research on one topic and how I can make sure one is ONLY informational and one is Instructional but I can put the two together to save time.<br />Anyone else trying to do this?<br />Originally I wanted to do them as 2 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">separate</span> topics but the more I look at my calender and see how we are already down to 7 weeks of this 8 week class <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> trying to be <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">practical</span> while I get all this work done.JamieMcCleesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10739780763079549215noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089709416978127863.post-42015813573825197592009-06-17T09:24:00.000-07:002009-06-17T10:08:44.771-07:00WebquestI have been doing a lot of reading this past week on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">WebQuest</span>.
