Week 16

For week 16 I took a while to decide what to do. In fact we are now in week 17 and I am posting week 16. I think I am beginning to look like my student from my Educational therapy practice where they are chasing their assignments like a run away train. I teach them to think ahead and prepare before it all falls apart, so this week I will post two assignments so that I can get to the station on time :)

My first video, I was developing on Prezi. I really like the way it zooms in and out and a logical pattern can be developed for it. I did the voice over for Claudias video and then built mine but did not get past the class introduction. I have still not decided how I am going to go about introducing topics for my Educational psychology class.

I then decided to record how to use the UCSC course web sight with an overview of my goals for the course. I have a diverse population in my class that also takes the course for several reasons. Students include Educational therapists, teachers and parents.  At least two students per quarter don't know how to use the web page and at least one student per quarter feels that my course is to routine. So I am still thinking of adding assignments that can replace the quizzes as an alternative option. Also in the video the tech group posted my questions in the wrong order so I will be using the screencast o matic again :) I think I am addicted to it now.

This is the intro video:
