Most Useful Tool
WIKI!!!
 It can be used for so many things
 Website
 Lesson plans
 Webquests
 Organizing class assignments & due dates
 Web publishing tool (i.e. students can publish their work on
site)
 Blogging/ discussions
 Can download so many things
 Google calendars for due dates
 Videos
 Podcasts
 Websites

Successes
 Created lesson plan for genetic engineering on wiki
 Learned to incorporate blogging as discussion for
controversial topics in science
 Learned what an RSS reader is (never even knew it
existed)
 Trialed new programs like glogster, wix, iWeb,
animoto
 Got many new technology educational tools to use,
but only at the tip of the iceberg in ways to utilize
them
 LOVED the websites, wikis, blogs, etc that Rich and
other students shared. VERY helpful to learn from
samples and have good resources!!
Challenges
 Wix
 Spent lots of time only to find out that I can’t upload
personal videos
 Learned it is best only for educational purposes not
personal
 Not sure of benefit of using wix vs. wiki
 iWeb (apple program for web publishing)
 Tried this on my own to make personal website
 Discovered that can’t publish to web unless use apple
program for $99
 RSS reader
 Not yet certain what I would use this for, but see value for
minimizing surfing for favorite sites
 Blogging
 Want to develop more content specific ideas for ways to
Moodle & Online Learning
Positives
 Love working at my own pace when I have time
 Very easy and intuitive to use moodle format to work
through modules
 Clear expectations for course completion
 Appreciated no required online chats or in person
meetings, but Rich was available to help as needed
 Liked when Rich provided input on uses of programs
and his preferred programs and gave tutorial/ basic
introductions to programs via websites and videos
 Just the right amount of and effective collaboration
with fellow students via discussion forums (&
appreciated helpful sites other students found &
shared via email and forums in addition to Rich’s)
Moodle/ Online Learning
Negatives
 This course had almost no negatives.
 Although there was still trial and error with
programs, there was more instruction and
guidance before starting
 Using technology can be very time intensive,
once it is complete, the product is very worth it
and useful.
Wiki
 http://mhecht.wikispaces.com/
 Loved Wikis and thought this was MOST
helpful tool I will use often
 Excellent for
 Lesson plans
 Class Website
 Webquests
 Blogs
 Assignments via google calendar embeds
 Web publishing tool for students to publish work
 & so much more
RSS Reader
 Used Google reader
 Not sure how to show it, but did add feeders for
 NPR science, world, & US news
 Educational technology blogs from the 50 top
blog sites Rich provided
Blog
 http://mhecht.wikispaces.com/
 I decided to add blogs to my wiki pages.
 I created 3 blog discussion questions:
1.On link to the brain page under nervous system
which is under anatomy. The brain unit is not fully
developed yet, so this is only a part of wiki on the
brain.
2.Last 2 are under my DNA and protein synthesis
link which is under my biology page.
• I thought this would be a good way to have students
reflect on the material they are learning and see their
relevance to today.
Glog
 Below is the link to my glog
 It is a model of a project that I might assign my
students on genetic diseases. I will likely
further develop the glog as I design the
assignment more thoroughly.
 http://jayoig.edu.glogster.com/neurofibromatosis/
Thank you AGAIN, Rich!!
Although I said it before, I will say it again!
 I have many new tools to use and explore.
 You have cut the world wide web into
manageable and useful sites (which often can
be an overwhelming sea of info to navigate
through)
 You have introduced to me to sites and tools I
did not know existed.
 You are a great RESOURCE and a very
valuable tool for us to keep in touch with.
 Thank you for being available for the course
and after hopefully
