Week 2 E-Learning Assessment

Clustrmap is now installed, but I'll feel like a sophomore with no date for homecoming, since I'd be surprised to see little dots clustering my map. Perhaps this is the formative piece of this activity:) I had hoped to return to my blog and now this will force me to do it. So far, the reading on uses of blogs in the classroom as pertaining to student work excites me. It validates their use and is supported by evidence. I'm intrigued by the idea that blogging will support all students in their self-reflection and learning.

  1. I really enjoyed looking at your e-learning portfolio, Pam. It looks so polished. I also was impressed with the Animoto video that you created for your workshop this summer.

Animoto Visual Tool for Learning

This is an example of an Animoto book trailer. I presented a teacher inservice for this visual tool at Warren-Newport Public Library in Gurnee, Illinois this summer.
