Gabcast! Educational Technology #0 - Educational Technology Lesson Plan

The four main components to a successful lesson plan in the classroom using educational technology.

Podcasts for Education!

There are quite a few webcasts for education purposes. There are tons for every subject imaginable. I, as a young child, would often have problems with math...elementary school through high school. I believe that if we would have had podcasting back when I was not attending college, it could have helped me tremendously. It's almost like having a teacher at home! Check out these podcasts for math resources that could benefit teachers (and students)!

Elementary School:
Video Math Tutor: Basic Math

Middle School:
Video Math Tutor: Algebra

High School:
Mathgrad Podcast

My Favorite Podcast!

I listened to several podcasts that deal with science lessons in schools. These include Sciencecast with Thomas Wanhoff, Science Friday with NPR Radio, and Instant Anatomy with Dr. Robert Whitaker.

My favorite podcast, however, is the Science on the Wild Side podcast with the "Singing Science Teacher. " I like this podcast because it involves humorous educational songs. In my experience, songs and music are great ways for memorization to take place! If you love science and animals in particular, check this podcast out!

Wikipedia Article Change!

Hello my fellow bloggers! I have attempted to do the unthinkable! Doo-dee-doo! I have attempted to change the Wikipedia article on my High School in the Sullivan County School System! Check out Sullivan Central High School's article! I did the whole portion on cheerleading! Below is what I added! I'll keep you posted on if it changes!

=== Cheerleading ===
Sullivan Central High School has tryouts every spring for Varsity, Junior Varsity, and just recently, Competition Team positions. The Varsity cheerleading squad cheers for the Varsity football team, and Varsity Boys' Basketball team. The Junior Varsity cheerleaders cheer for the Freshman and Junior Varsity football teams, as well as the Varsity Girls' Basketball team. Some talent that has been on the squads over the past nine years include Amy Hilton (2001), Meagan Harr (2004), Ashley Mills (2004), Keisha Geisler (2006), and Michelle Ramsey (2007). These girls all cheered for college teams during some point in their cheerleading career.

Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking can be very beneficial to a teacher. The main benefit of using a social bookmarking service, such as del.ici.ous, is easily finding needed information for lesson plans. If a teacher bookmarks specific educational websites, he or she can go to the tagged websites to find the specific one they are looking for by looking at the notes that can be typed up with each tag. What makes social bookmarking helpful to a teacher who is using this tool is that the teacher can view other teachers' tagged websites, which may help broaden a teacher's selection of topics and ideas for a lesson plan! Very neat!

Pros and Cons of Educational Blogging

I see more pros than cons in the world of blogging for educational purposes. One good outcome of blogging is....anyone, anywhere can join in on a discussion. You can also see what other students have to say. Another good thing about blogging is, students will be less likely to be shy about posting an answer or thought because you are behind a computer. Students will also have the ability to join in lectures from their homes, without commuting. This will also save time and money.

On the other hand, a con is that we have no face-to-face interaction. We need to have personal interaction. It is a very important social skill. Blogging can also be very boring at times. We need to have interaction in the world of education it makes learning more fun!
