Week 13

My projects have been turning out pretty well lately. I had fallen behind previously, but made up for lost time and pulled everything together. I've enjoyed looking at others' work along the way, and have definitely learned a lot from classmates.

Week 12

This is a link to my presentation for working out Punnett squares in the genetics unit of my class. It provides step-by-step instructions for working Punnett squares, as well as the critical vocabulary for the section. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_1gTzH6uOQnNU0wNXc3X0FqZEk

Week 11

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dcUfwhkXGybQ5SEj2rTuf1TeAlzyw5AR6TvhdvfMqBg/edit This is a link to my unit plan for cell division. Included in the unit are project-based assignments which will be shared and evaluated using my blended classroom.

Week 10

This week, I created a quick technical writing instructing students how to create a Dropbox account. This insures that they will always have a place to save their work, and as long as I keep their login information, they will never have an excuse.

Week 9

I have fallen behind on my ePortfolio, but I have made a lot of progress lately. I do not feel like I will have any trouble completing my assignments or my blended delivery course. I have decided to use Edmodo to host my blended delivery classroom, as well as incorporating tools from Google Apps and DropBox. Video compatibility issues will be addressed primarily using Vimeo in order to get around the blocked nature of YouTube.

Week 2

This is a screencast for the app PDFpen which allows users to highlight and make notes on PDF files.

Week 1

This was a quick search, but since my field is science, it was easy to find a multitude of apps. Some were better than others, of course, but there were several that seemed to be of high quality and useful. This app is Science 360, an app that offers a huge amount of science-oriented videos, many of which are not only educational, but entertaining as well; both of which are extremely important when using an app in the classroom.
