Week 7 - iGoogle - do you?


In my lesson plan, Jing- Learning the Basics of Jing, my lesson goal and objectives are as follows:
Lesson Goal: The student will learn how to use a new tool for use in online learning lesson preparation.
Objectives:
·   The student will recognize how the tool can be used in online learning preparation.
·   The student will successfully download the tool from the online website.
·   The student will take and prepare a screenshot using Jing.
·   The student will take and prepare a video using Jing.

I used Jing, screencast, xtranormal, a class blog, and of course the student issued laptops in my lesson.

When I watched the videos, they just make me want to learn more technology and seek better ways to reach the learner. It reminds me of this quote I found years ago but it still stand true.
“Old ways of thinking, old formulas, dogmas, ideologies, no matter how cherished or useful in the past, no longer fit the facts. The world that is fast emerging from the clash of new values and new technologies, new geopolitical relationships, new lifestyles, new modes of communication, demands wholly new ideas and analogies, classifications and concepts. We cannot cram the embryonic world of tomorrow into yesterday’s conventional cubbyholes.” —Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave
