Week+3-F500

Laurie: Went over the following
 * Housekeeping/general questions
 * Digital storyboards (they shared with each other and had time to search for pictures)
 * Next week, they should bring in their narration and pictures to lab.
 * Lecture connection
 * For discussion points, see PPT.
 * Portfolio
 * Students created the skeleton and submitted to Oncourse.
 * Professional Development Plan
 * Students worked in groups to review their ProfilerPro "blobs"
 * Went over the PDP outline and how to write SMART goals.
 * For next week, students need to submit this via Oncourse BEFORE lab
 * Went over items to do before lecture and lab next week.
 * **Overall, students seemed pretty freaked out this week with all of the assignments. I tried to keep it organized for them, but there was still some concern**
 * In the second section (12164), I allowed less time on the digital storyboard which gave more time to work on the PDP. This helped the students a TON and they seemed a lot less stressed out.**

First, my PPT is availabe in my Lab Resources folder for review. That said, here is what I did this past week.**
 * Chip:
 * **We went over a few housekeeping issues, including establishing ProfilerPro and Google accounts**
 * **Discussion of what the NETS-T standards are, why they matter and how we are approaching them in this lab/class (as a measuring stick that we are measuring your progress by your ePortfolio)**
 * **So, since meeting the NETS-T standards are something that a student will continue to get closer to meeting as they progress through the program, fostering ongoing professional growth and development is important. So, we are going to create PDPs for this semester.**
 * **To do this, we need to see where we are at as professionals. So, everyone either took the ProfilerPro survey (only 3 still needed to do so) and identified their strengths and weeknesses.**
 * **We created our PDPs in class (which also let me have a chance to scan everyone's storyboards and return them) - most people uploaded them in class for about 20 minutes.**
 * **We only had about 35 minutes to begin the ePortfolio: to go over the structure, the concept, and then how to establish our Google Sites site.**
 * **We created our basic pages, but will need to go over the structure of the "Home" and "About" pages next time.**

Serdar:
 * Started with housekeeping, reminders about quizzes, podcast, etc.
 * Discussed lecture points
 * Linked professional development to e-portfolio before we create the skeleton
 * Create the skeleton step-by-step and submit the assignment in the class
 * Half of the class had not taken the survey (as I anticipated), so I went over the process and explain the PDP document with examples of goals first.
 * For the last 30 min. of the class, I gave them individual time to take the survey, write their plans, and work on their e-portfolio if they have time.
 * In my Thursday class, at the beginning (housekeeping) I made it clear that end of class individual time is for them to use to work on their assignments and e-portfolio, not to leave early. I emphasized that if they use this time effectively, they won't have much out-of-class homework and e-portfolio would be a breeze at the end of the semester. They responded positively and they were comfortable staying and working on their own.

Minjing (Both sections)


 * 1) Answered questions from last week about lecture, lab and assignment.
 * 2) Discussed Monday's lecture about being a qualified AND effective teacher. Related the content to distinguish between Indianan Academic Standards (qualified) and NETS-T standards (effective)
 * 3) Introduced professional development plan to meet the goal of being a both qualified and effective teacher. Reviewed the questions in PDP.
 * 4) Showed how to review Profiler Pro survey results and how to interpret the results to answer the first two questions in PDP.
 * 5) Gave time to students to summarize what they found were their weaknesses and strengths and answer the questions on PDP.
 * 6) Gave examples how to write a SMART goal, and distinguished between a SMART goal and a non-SMART goal.
 * 7) Gave time to students to work a little bit on writing their goals and answered questions in writing it.
 * 8) E-portfolio: changed the name of pages, asked them to put in information on About Me page, and showed them how to outlining Evidence page. For one class, also asked students to upload their storyboard to Files page and provided the link to the file on Evidence page. For another class, will catch up providing the link on the Evidence page in next lab. And this is the workout for today's lab.

Most of students started working on their PDP which is due next Wednesday as a result of negotiation with students. The movie will be due on Sept. 30th (two weeks from today's lab).

Zihang


 * 1) Housekeeping. Answer questions about pre-lecture activity, digital storytelling project.
 * 2) Peer review- digital storyboard: I sent announcement to students to bring their hard copy of digital storyboard before the lab. Students reviewed their story with partners and got feedback from peers. I looked around the lab and provided assistance. At the end of lab I collected all the hard copy.
 * 3) Discussion-link to lecture content: we had a very good discussion about NETS-T standards and evaluation of teaching performance. Students agreed that it is essential to have a teacher standard.
 * 4) Introduction of E-portfolio and its goal.
 * 5) E-portfolio skeleton creation: introduced five required pages and relevant content. There was a volunteer who used teacher computer to demonstrate how to create eporfolio skeleton. This is a very effective strategy to demonstrate technological issues. I looked around the lab and provided immediate assistance during this period of time.
 * 6) Introduction of PDP-reasons and types
 * 7) Demonstration of locating pictures of profiler pro survey result and interpretion of the picture: Students learned how to identify their strengths and weaknesses.
 * 8) Examples of bad PDP goals: introduced SMART strategies to set up a goal and gave examples of bad goals.
 * 9) Wrap-up: reminder of assignments and preparation for lecture and lab next week.

__**Sinem's Third Week**__

I asked them whether they had any issues with: a) Profiler-Pro b) Digital Storytelling Project c) Pre-Lecture Activity Before the class, I wanted all of the students to bring a hardcopy of their storyboards and upload a copy to oncourse. They all brought a copy of their storyboards to the class. Therefore, I made them to exchange the storyboards with the person sitting next. They reviewed each other's storyboard. During this, I circulated and participated the discussion. After that, I collected their storyboards. I told them that next week, they were supposed to bring the narration and pictures to the class with a word document, which has all the citations. I showed them how to find pictures and how to cite them.
 * 1) Housekeeping**
 * 2) Digital Storyboards**

I made a brief review of the lecture points. We had a discussion about the lecture points using two different questions (in the slide)... Then I made a connection to e-portfolios.
 * 3) Review Lecture Points**

I showed how to create a page and my students did all the pages on their computers. After that I showed them some tips for their e-portfolio. All of my students finished creating and upload their links to oncourse.
 * 4) E-Portfolio Skeleton (Lab Workout #3)**

I made them work in groups of two and review their results. They discussed. I showed how to interpret the graph. I told about professional development and showed them the template for professional development plan. They downloaded the template on their desktops. I showed them how to write a goal using SMART method. We saw some good examples and bad examples.
 * 5) Review Profiler Pro Survey Results**
 * 6) Professional Development Plan Overview**

I told them what to do before the lecture and the lab next week.
 * 7) Homework**
