Web Evaluations from Aliea

https://wmich.edu/about/kalamazoo http://archive.kalamazoocity.org/history https://www.downtownkalamazoo.org/about-dki/downtown-history The above are the three website that I evaluated. I found that all three could be used to help better our unit project. I really liked the second and third websites because they provided history about downtown Kalamazoo and also some history on fun events that happened right here in Kalamazoo. the first website was from Kalamazoo City Hall and was quite accurate. I think all three of these can really be great in our website collection!

Module 5 - Podcast, Lesson Plan 3 and Storyboard for Team Website

Wooo.. Audacity!! DUE JUNE 17th So, do you think we can talk for 3-5 minutes? This should be a breeze. Lets use what we used each individual for our lesson plans this week as our podcast topic for this week. Lets have our portions of a script done and in the comments ASAP so we can get an order of how we are going to send this file. From the instructions, it seems that two group members.. three in our case.. send their portions to another who will add the audio tracks. Who would like to be the trustworthy member who gets to edit our voices together? You would be trusted to submitting our only turn in file out of the four of us.. super scary. 😃 DUE JUNE 10th Another TaskStream lesson plan this week! Do we want to switch topics around this week? Give us a chance to work in the research area of another topic? Let's chat about it in the comments. Story Board!! DUE JUNE 8th! Look at Peterson's story board example. I think, by creating our lesson plan d...

ASSIGNMENT VI Websites

Hi all! For appropriate website use for our students to use, I feel that the following would work wonderfully for linking local history, with the kalamazoo region in mind to how the students can talk about their area in the pen pal activity. Kalamazoo Public Library (Local History) Which is the local history buff's around here favorite way to locate old family information be it in person or on the go. They have a lot of interesting facts and documents as well as 3d items that students can look at via the site. My only concern is that I do not think it is appropriate for the younger students, and perhaps specific keyed in links that edit the page to just words and photos with no links would be more appropriate in some cases. We all know that kids like to click around and try to get to other places quickly with technology. (They just want to end up at the games, who am I kidding?). Portage Library (Local History) This site has a very nice scrolling timeline of how people got t...
