]]> Comment on Testing Notaland.com by Dylan Faullin http://jessmc.edublogs.org/2009/06/17/testing-notalandcom/comment-page-1/#comment-534 Dylan Faullin Fri, 24 Jul 2009 02:28:37 +0000 http://jessmc.edublogs.org/?p=476#comment-534 Hello. Apologies for taking a while to reply. I thought I'd try to contact you here, but I couldn't locate an email address in less than a minute so I gave up and decided to leave a comment. I would have replied on notaland, but I didn't want to fill up your page with comments. I like what you are doing with notaland. I'm glad to hear your students are taking to it with enthusiasm. I'm afraid my students will not go out of their way to try something new, so I am trying to find things that are not too inconvenient for my students to try. I had two thoughts about notaland for my math classes: 1. Set up a notebook with all of the homework problems, one to a page, that they could copy to their own notaland account, work on the homework problems, and then share with/mark on each others work in a collaborative way, using the very handy comments tool, even maybe co-editing a notebook with one another, so they could work on the homework together. I could not find a way to allow a user to copy my notebook to their account. That would be a nice feature. And my students will balk at having to create their own. Most of the students at our community college (junior college/2yr college) are underprepared/under-motivated students. 2. Posting my lecture examples on a notaland notebook and let my students mark it up with comments. They could put a comment right on the spot they don't understand and either I (or another student if I'm lucky) could respond to help out, by leaving another comment. Is it possible to respond to comments on notaland? I've also thought about using it as a fun sort of guestbook on a webpage somewhere. Feel free to email me. It's nice to have these time of discussions. Let me know if you've found any other interesting tools that might help out. ~Dylan Faullin Hello. Apologies for taking a while to reply.

I love the idea of weaving together SMS responses into a movie, or recording interviews into a broadcast. Superb! Clearly you are just the genius I needed this evening :-) Hey Clare,

The activity was successful but not as effective. Could they use voicethread with their photos and video? or perhaps interview others about their ideas on the specific topic they are investigating and then add their own commentary or create a radio broadcast? or collect series of sms and weave them together in an animoto movie with images they have create? Wish you were my History teacher.

This is the perfect time for you to be practicing that important word - NO! :) Am feeling very much like you but have a long way to go - you are def leading by example for me here. I have found leaving some of the other stuff and reflecting more is also helping me get to where I want to be. Thanks for this post! Amanda I am very impressed Jess!

Prioritise and don't take on everything. I'm doing something I've never done before - presentation on 'Safely blogging in the big wide world" at the ALEA conference in Hobart in July. Now I am having to prepare for something new and wondering how it will go over to English and Literacy teachers who will be attending. Deja vu?? Think we spoke about saying NO last year sometime.
