Module 4
English 10 Literature Wiki
This wiki
space, is a 10 grade literature page for Bradford High school. Wikis are a
collection of web pages collected in an online community that encourages collaboration.
(Doering Roblyer 223) The students use to site to discuss readings from class.
This would be a good way to incorporate “Web-Based
Learning.”(Doering Roblyer 238) I would like to create a similar page, but
I would want the kids to use it as an outlet to express their free writing such
as poetry. With the opportunity to get and deliver positive feedback from their
classmates work.
Scrolling Text Widget
The scrolling
text slide show set up, is designed to give your wiki a face lift. Creating a
scrolling text gives a teacher another avenue to post information for the wiki
space. I would use it to post picture from class or from some of the literature
works. I can use it as a reminder about “Electronic
Mentoring,” where students write for distance audience helps motivate and
do more.(Doering Roblyer 242)

Quote of the Day Widget
This quote
of the day widget, is design to allow to insert different quotes for your wiki
space. This HTML widget can be
aligned vertically alongside your wiki space.HTML is the internet standard for
how web pages are formatted.(Doering Roblyer 249) I would use it to inspire
kids from past authors to write and read more. In order to become better at your
craft you have to practice it. It can be a great way to involve the kids by
allowing them to insert their own quotes.
Web Based Lesson
This web
based lesson cite helps you create virtual field trips for your class. Electronic field trips fills
classroom screens with visual images of place consider to offer some
educational value. (Doering Roblyer 239) I would use this avenue to create a
trip to search for author’s history, which will help understand their work. Giving
them the opportunity to research and take the virtual field trip can become
something exciting and different.
I love the Quote of the Day widget, I think that is an awesome idea! I think that would be great to have students write their own quotes and be able to share them with others. I love to read and share quotes with my friends to help inspire and uplift.
ReplyDeleteBeaux, your scrolling text widget is a cool touch that I think students will enjoy and be excited about. It makes it cool. It reminds me of the problem that Ms. Aderson of Phase 1, ch. 8 was facing with the lack of motivation with her students.
ReplyDeleteI like your scrolling sign widget Darrell. I used that web site to find a widget for my wiki as well. One has to remember when developing wikis/web pages, that limiting photos and large graphic will make the site better for his/her students (Roblyer and Doering, 2013).
ReplyDeleteYour idea of incorporating historical virtual field trips with your language arts curriculum is very common in the classroom today. Students are able to go to places that they "would not routinely be able to travel" (Roblyer and Doering, 2013, p. 239) or afford. You've shown a great way to incorporate the two closely related subjects.
ReplyDeleteYes! Quote of the day. Students sometimes can be "too cool" however I think it can touch or inspire them even if they may not act like it. I still remember some of the teachers who did quotes and how some of them helped get me through some of her tests!
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of the scrolling text widget. The movement really catches the eye and is a great tool to remind students of upcoming assignments. It seems like a simple easy way to communicate with the class in a fun way.
