For my third presentation, I watched What Did You Do in School Yesterday, Today and Three Years Ago? by H Songhai. This presentation talked about different ways that you can use technology to document and organize what you do in high school, or anywhere really, using cell phones, MP3 players, cameras, and online tools.
He talked about how many students have the tools they need to document what they are learning but they instead only use it for social interactions, like cell phones, cameras and MP3 players. He told how he encouraged his students to use the tools they had with them while on a field trip and how his class is paperless and he gets his students to use these tools all the time to document what they are learning. He explained different ways that you can use them to continually document what you are learning about so that you will always have it to refer back to. He talked about the importance of bloging and taking screen shots of what you are looking at and learning about online. Most of the sites he mentioned I am familiar with, or at least heard of, a few though I haven’t heard of and I am interested to check them out, especially google book search.
I really enjoyed this presentation, I think that this approach could be very useful for students and everyone to use because then what you learn is organized, documented, out there for people to see, and you will never loose it!
Thanks for watching my presentation. Good luck with the iMovie project.
