2007.07.31 09:23:59 SandraFl left the room (signed off).
2007.07.31 09:24:07 AmeliaIG: I really want you to gain an insight into
the tremendous resources the PBS website has to offer. I am unable to
present all that is available on PBS but feel free to explore at your
own leisure.
2007.07.31 09:24:08 LudivinaV: i am with you danika
2007.07.31 09:24:26 MarcS: i can tell there is plenty to see

2007.07.31 09:24:41 JoseRH: me 2
2007.07.31 09:24:43 XochitlP: on the weekend they have good music shows
2007.07.31 09:24:43 SamanthaRG: moi aussi
2007.07.31 09:24:51 MarcS: it's very fulfilling
2007.07.31 09:24:51 JovanaG: this really is a great side
2007.07.31 09:24:53 LudivinaV: i would like to point out that there is a child development section
2007.07.31 09:24:56 DianaG: i really like the site
2007.07.31 09:24:57 JovanaG: site
2007.07.31 09:25:04 AmeliaIG: So, television doesn’t have to be a
negative thing. Parents should choose programming that is educational
for their child, and teachers can incorporate lesson plans, activities,
and projects, online or offline, with a specific character in mind,
such as Word Girl, in the classroom.
2007.07.31 09:25:05 AnabellR: It is a good resource,when you are out of ideas!
2007.07.31 09:25:10 AraceliaG: great site
2007.07.31 09:25:13 XochitlP: i was also planning to use this for my presentation
2007.07.31 09:25:17 XochitlP: but on something else
2007.07.31 09:25:20 SamanthaRG: cool
2007.07.31 09:25:21 LudivinaV: and you just select the subject and age range to get more info
2007.07.31 09:25:25 XochitlP: its really useful
2007.07.31 09:25:34 EduardoG: i agree with AnabellR

2007.07.31 09:25:39 LourdesR: I think it was all great and informative for all
2007.07.31 09:25:42 DanikaB looks around the room for a mispelled
word... finds one in an earlier part of the class. She picks up the
word, puts it in the middle of the floor, picks up a huge red pencil
and smashes the word.
2007.07.31 09:25:44 JoAnnaG: its great
2007.07.31 09:25:45 AraceliaG: will use it with my pre-k class

2007.07.31 09:31:33 JoAnnaG: I will be discussing and focusing on
Looking at Vocabulary and Beginning to Write. There are also

students education.

2007.07.31 09:32:54 JoAnnaG: Follow the steps (you do not have to print the guide).
2007.07.31 09:33:18 JoAnnaG: The View Video Course is a teacher-teacher guide to help students improve their vocabulary.
2007.07.31 09:33:18 JoAnnaG: If you can't access the videos don’t
worry you can just click on Read Transcript instead of the video. The
presenter is the same discussion on the video.
2007.07.31 09:34:03 JoAnnaG: Then click on Video Course and click Part 1 on the version that pertains to you and Part 2
2007.07.31 09:34:03 JoAnnaG: It is a little long so you can just skim through the video.
2007.07.31 09:34:16 LudivinaV: nice video
2007.07.31 09:34:27 DanikaB: i like the matching outfits
2007.07.31 09:34:32 LudivinaV: did you try it
2007.07.31 09:34:33 MarcS: they're great
2007.07.31 09:34:47 DanikaB: it's like sitting at the seminar
2007.07.31 09:35:04 DanikaB: i see you can also get continuing education credit hours for these things, did you check that out?
2007.07.31 09:35:17 JoAnnaG: i think it was great for those who cant make it in on time can access it on their own time
2007.07.31 09:35:21 LudivinaV: yes, it is
2007.07.31 09:35:36 DianaG: true
2007.07.31 09:35:42 JoAnnaG: thats another reason why i chose eLearning workshops
2007.07.31 09:35:49 LourdesR: that is great
2007.07.31 09:35:56 AmeliaIG: course credit hours! cool
2007.07.31 09:36:10 DanikaB: yeah, it's really important to be able to
get those hours regularly to impact your salary and evaluations
2007.07.31 09:36:19 VanessaCas joined the room.
2007.07.31 09:36:26 AlexandrMB: luckily it has text because at the lab no volume
2007.07.31 09:36:29 JovanaG: this is really helpful
2007.07.31 09:36:37 JoAnnaG: if you notice it also helps those by giving the discussion under the video
2007.07.31 09:36:39 LudivinaV: right
2007.07.31 09:36:41 DanikaB nods at alexandra
2007.07.31 09:36:52 DanikaB still thinks you all need little earphones to carry around
2007.07.31 09:36:55 JoAnnaG: that is exaclty what i was gonna say alexandra
2007.07.31 09:37:01 LudivinaV: yes
2007.07.31 09:37:02 AlexandrMB: nodding back
2007.07.31 09:37:04 JoAnnaG: true
2007.07.31 09:37:13 MarcS: supporting teachers properly so they can teach their students effectively
2007.07.31 09:37:13 LudivinaV: that's on my school list
2007.07.31 09:37:17 MarcS: very nice concept
2007.07.31 09:37:30 DanikaB: so no child is left behind
2007.07.31 09:37:32 DanikaB grins
2007.07.31 09:37:35 AmeliaIG agrees with Marc
2007.07.31 09:37:46 LourdesR: all teachers can make good use of this
2007.07.31 09:37:53 JoAnnaG: hope they manage not to leave no child behing
2007.07.31 09:37:54 EduardoG: i agree LourdesR
2007.07.31 09:38:03 MarcS: i've always thought that made perfect sense
2007.07.31 09:38:07 SamanthaRG left the room (signed off).
2007.07.31 09:38:08 DanikaB: it's good that the videos also have supplementary materials.
2007.07.31 09:38:12 DanikaB: like course handouts
2007.07.31 09:38:21 SamanthaRG joined the room.
2007.07.31 09:38:23 CatherineZ: me too
2007.07.31 09:38:23 JoAnnaG: i focused on the english/language subject
so it can pertain to the class but there is also other subjects
2007.07.31 09:38:35 LourdesR: really good too
2007.07.31 09:38:35 SamanthaRG: sorry got kicked out
2007.07.31 09:38:39 JoAnnaG: i know some of our classmates can use the science subject
2007.07.31 09:38:44 AlexandrMB: it looks that the teachers are having a blast
2007.07.31 09:38:53 LuciaG: agree
2007.07.31 09:39:11 JulissaL: yup
2007.07.31 09:39:14 LudivinaV: agree
2007.07.31 09:39:20 DanikaB likes the "taking the 'dense' out of density" under math and science
2007.07.31 09:39:32 LourdesR: this is for teachers who are willing to look outside the box which is really needed nowadays
2007.07.31 09:39:33 JoAnnaG: lol
2007.07.31 09:39:42 AlexandrMB: i agree
2007.07.31 09:39:46 AdrianB: agree
2007.07.31 09:39:47 AmeliaIG: ain't that the truth!
2007.07.31 09:39:48 AndreaZ: yes
2007.07.31 09:40:00 AlexandrMB: more kids are starting to hate school it will be a refresher now
2007.07.31 09:40:00 JoAnnaG: the other topics also help teachers recieve positive or better feedback
2007.07.31 09:40:01 DianaG: yup
2007.07.31 09:40:08 AlexandrMB: they will never be bored
2007.07.31 09:40:13 JoAnnaG: exactly
2007.07.31 09:40:29 AlexandrMB: or sleeping in class
2007.07.31 09:40:32 LourdesR: teachers and students both
2007.07.31 09:40:36 JoAnnaG: Because i think kids nowadays have a lesser attention span
2007.07.31 09:40:44 AlexandrMB: yep!
2007.07.31 09:40:54 MarcS: that's a definite
2007.07.31 09:40:56 DanikaB: do you guys think that it will have that
effect because it provides updated or creative ways to approach
standards and content?
2007.07.31 09:40:57 CatherineZ: totally true
2007.07.31 09:41:02 CatherineZ: too many distractions
2007.07.31 09:41:07 JoseRH: yep
2007.07.31 09:41:12 CarolynJC: yes
2007.07.31 09:41:13 VictoriaNG: yes
2007.07.31 09:41:13 JovanaG: yeah
2007.07.31 09:41:13 LourdesR: for sure
2007.07.31 09:41:15 LudivinaV: how about those high school teachers
that will need to turn around kids that get to high school hating it
2007.07.31 09:41:18 MarcS: sure
2007.07.31 09:41:24 JoAnnaG: there exposed to a lot of technology and
less on improving their education so teachers can get them bak on track
2007.07.31 09:41:25 DanikaB nods and is thrilled, then, that you are finding all these resources...
2007.07.31 09:41:39 DanikaB thinks we're saving the future
2007.07.31 09:41:40 AlexandrMB: especially if all they are doing is the TAKS it will spice things
2007.07.31 09:41:41 DanikaB grins
2007.07.31 09:42:00 CarolynJC: at first i was scared to find resources
and now i like it...its cool and i am experimenting with my children i
take care of
2007.07.31 09:42:10 LourdesR: I sure hope so
2007.07.31 09:42:11 RuthM joined the room.
2007.07.31 09:42:13 DanikaB: that's great Carolyn
2007.07.31 09:42:14 AndreaZ: i think students aren't the only ones
tired and bored, teachers are too, so things like these would help them
too
2007.07.31 09:42:15 CarolynJC: not my personal children
2007.07.31 09:42:16 JoAnnaG: i think teachers who are update and more on a level with high school students can change their view
2007.07.31 09:42:22 DanikaB nods at Andrea's comments
2007.07.31 09:42:42 MarcS: marc shrugs at carolyn's comments
2007.07.31 09:42:43 AlexandrMB: i agree
2007.07.31 09:42:46 CatherineZ sees where JoAnna is coming from, and agrees
2007.07.31 09:42:51 EduardoG: lol
2007.07.31 09:42:52 LudivinaV: agree with andrea
2007.07.31 09:42:55 DanikaB: I think teachers experience a lot of
constraint, isolation, and boredom if they aren't able to connect to
resources outside of the classroom and standardized curricula
2007.07.31 09:43:04 JoAnnaG: not to suck up but Danika Her teaching very laid back and easy going.
2007.07.31 09:43:04 JoAnnaG: Calling her by her first name relates to students
2007.07.31 09:43:04 JoAnnaG: Introduces a lot of technology

2007.07.31 09:48:40 LudivinaV: Take a moment to see what is on this
first page. If you notice there are other web-sites they suggest
you visit for high school lesson plans, free printables for k-8 and how
to combine technology with your class.
2007.07.31 09:48:42 RubenB: ready

2007.07.31 09:49:32 DanikaB: do your best to follow along, Lourdes...
if you wait a few minutes, you might not have trouble. you can also try
reattaching your chat box; that sometimes helps
2007.07.31 09:49:36 EduardoG: i like the Rainforest Teaching Theme
2007.07.31 09:49:49 LudivinaV: i thought it was fitting that we look at
a site that will help up with technology in the classrooms
2007.07.31 09:49:57 JulissaL: wheres that
2007.07.31 09:49:59 AnabellR: I like "building a website"
2007.07.31 09:50:07 LourdesR: thanks danika

and here you see the lesson plans, worksheet, downloads, and rubric
2007.07.31 09:51:06 VictoriaNG: cool lesson plans
2007.07.31 09:51:14 DanikaB likes the "webquest" concept

2007.07.31 09:51:35 AlexandrMB: it makes the teachers job easier
2007.07.31 09:51:36 AndreaZ: Dr. Seus field day looks fun

2007.07.31 09:53:05 XochitlP: thanks=)
2007.07.31 09:53:11 AnabellR: www.teach-nology.com
2007.07.31 09:53:12 LourdesR left the room (signed off).
2007.07.31 09:53:20 LudivinaV: The only downfall about this web-site is
that you want more resources you would have to pay a membership level
in order to have extensive possibilities of activities, lesson plans,
and printables.
2007.07.31 09:53:23 DanikaB: i like the assignment under LA web quests
called "For the Love of the Game".. it's an interesting assignment
activity because it makes you have to think about different roles and
interests and economics of sport
2007.07.31 09:53:28 SamanthaRG: love it love it has renaissance egyptian greek post modern pop art, etc
2007.07.31 09:53:48 EduardoG: me too Sam
2007.07.31 09:54:01 DanikaB frowns at the membership fee... however, it
is part of the profession to have to pay for some professional
memberships
2007.07.31 09:54:02 AmeliaIG: for what the website offers, i don't think its a bad deal, paying a little extra
2007.07.31 09:54:16 LourdesR joined the room.
2007.07.31 09:54:25 SamanthaRG left the room (signed off).

2007.07.31 09:54:40 MarcS: wow
2007.07.31 09:54:43 MarcS: what a site
2007.07.31 09:54:49 MarcS: that leads you to other sites
2007.07.31 09:54:51 KarinaS left the room (signed off).
2007.07.31 09:54:51 LudivinaV: there is a lot of free stuff here without having to get a membership
2007.07.31 09:54:52 SamanthaRG: "the man" is trying to keep me out of the room
2007.07.31 09:54:53 DanikaB: and the membership fees can be written off your taxes
2007.07.31 09:54:53 DianaG: nice
2007.07.31 09:54:57 JoAnnaG: cool it has different subjects
2007.07.31 09:55:11 MarcS: yeah it's very well rounded
2007.07.31 09:55:11 DanikaB snarls at "the man"
2007.07.31 09:55:15 LourdesR: I did not know that one
2007.07.31 09:55:19 CatherineZ: very cool site!
2007.07.31 09:55:23 AmeliaIG agrees with Danika
2007.07.31 09:55:31 JoAnnaG: it has games too
2007.07.31 09:55:58 DanikaB: there are tons of free resources there
though. that's a good thing. it seems like you could use those free
tools and get used to the site and then decide if a membership would be
necessary
2007.07.31 09:56:05 LourdesR: can't forget the games too
2007.07.31 09:56:12 SamanthaRG: i like the arcade
2007.07.31 09:56:14 AmeliaIG loving the puzzles
2007.07.31 09:56:16 JoAnnaG: i'm in the physical education to see if theres ways to stay fit

2007.07.31 09:56:29 EduardoG: i was thinking the same thing AmelialG
2007.07.31 09:57:03 LudivinaV: i like the lesson plans and worksheets
2007.07.31 09:57:04 DanikaB: the game "English Saves the Day".... it
seems to be a repeated theme in some of these resources... games to
combat the destruction/butchering, etc of the english language.
2007.07.31 09:57:21 VictoriaNG: the worksheets are great
2007.07.31 09:57:23 SamanthaRG: hmmmm
2007.07.31 09:57:37 JoAnnaG: i found some stuff to stay fit
2007.07.31 09:57:50 DanikaB: yeah, samantha, if you click on that game,
a crazy technorobot comes on with the title overhead of: "Save the
Kingdom"....
2007.07.31 09:57:57 DanikaB . o O ( no ideology going on there... )
2007.07.31 09:57:57 JoAnnaG: its under athletic skills lesson plans
2007.07.31 09:58:03 LourdesR: this is all good info.
2007.07.31 09:58:06 LudivinaV: yes, English saves the day because it is essential for academics and business
2007.07.31 09:58:09 JoAnnaG: and weightlifting one the last one
2007.07.31 09:58:19 JoAnnaG: a little fyi
2007.07.31 09:58:55 JoAnnaG: it has fun stuff for like a field day to work out cause in my opinion working out is a drag
2007.07.31 09:59:22 MarcS: but ya need it
2007.07.31 09:59:29 JoAnnaG: and the same workout is boring so it tells you how to try new things
2007.07.31 09:59:31 MarcS: so you don't end up broken
2007.07.31 09:59:33 LourdesR: very true
2007.07.31 09:59:38 JoAnnaG: whos broken
