How has the Internet changed <br />
a) the way we view information and information access? <br />
b) access to 'literature', research, and quality 'text' as well as censorship or editing?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How we access information has drastically changed with the invention of the internet. I have decided to list a couple examples below.</span></div>
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>HEALTH</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><i>Previously:</i> People relied on their physicians, family members, or others who shared
a similar experience and were within their social circles for information regarding illness. </li>
<li><i>Currently:</i> These days we can turn the internet and use a multitude of resources. WedMD, email communication with physicians, message boards and support groups for people with similar ailments can all help guide your search for knowledge of what's aching. You can just Google your symptoms and possible diagnoses appear like magic!<b> </b></li>
</ul>
<b>COMMUNICATION BY PHONE</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlMyd8Jz0sTxQDBQYgwIPy5dHlxUxqBldpZt9IstVwBSC1JhI2Me3qFJ_PypOYWEVUsuzCD2OC3X1COVrxWJNMkdTYMdwfc0sJyjOl6qEyMZN6U2DPQKRm9LQc_qqXyFK4dtn9ERu4x4w/s1600/phonebook-death.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlMyd8Jz0sTxQDBQYgwIPy5dHlxUxqBldpZt9IstVwBSC1JhI2Me3qFJ_PypOYWEVUsuzCD2OC3X1COVrxWJNMkdTYMdwfc0sJyjOl6qEyMZN6U2DPQKRm9LQc_qqXyFK4dtn9ERu4x4w/s320/phonebook-death.jpg" width="320" /></a>
<li><i>Previously:</i> One would use the phone book to seek the phone number of a business or person they were trying to reach. Additionally, you used your home phone. If you were out away from home you had to seek out a pay phone and try to remember those phone numbers.</li>
<li><i>Currently:</i> The days of memorization and the Yellow Pages are OVER! We have the Internet and www.yellowpages.com to help us seek a number or a person or business. We also have smart phones which is like having a phone, phone book, and computer all combined! Who would have thought?</li>
</ul>
<b> NAVIGATION:</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><i>Previously:</i> To get from A to Z one had to purchase a map at a gas station or AAA. You had to learn the art of navigation and know your cardinal directions. Traveling was essentially trial by error. You made it, or you got lost and found your way through your mistakes.</li>
<li><i>Currently:</i> MapQuest, Google Maps, Google Earth, GPS, Garmin, TomTom, Magellan, and the GPS navigation of a smartphone all allow us to reach our destinations without the headache! While large paper maps may have been a big boisterous and inconvenient; the portable GPS device is often distracting. Having to divert your eyes from the road to look at a tiny screen then focus back at the road and swerve across 3 lanes of highway traffic...well, that's dangerous!</li>
</ul>
<b>LITERATURE, RESEARCH, CENSORSHIP:</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6_C__N1bJccNl0YoCqRBSq2M-AHkG7bKMQ-GG0pdR6xfIb6dLFha91NhGb9XUIhj7rw_PAbaPNY5bt4ooQXtZ4SdM0_ka4TrPIlG1wYtEY8eAnJOyWQj8bXVKlppH-WznimfXPiLGf44/s1600/cardcatalog2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6_C__N1bJccNl0YoCqRBSq2M-AHkG7bKMQ-GG0pdR6xfIb6dLFha91NhGb9XUIhj7rw_PAbaPNY5bt4ooQXtZ4SdM0_ka4TrPIlG1wYtEY8eAnJOyWQj8bXVKlppH-WznimfXPiLGf44/s320/cardcatalog2.jpg" width="320" /></a>
<li><i>Previously:</i> You would go to the library, search through a card catalog, attempt to find one text. Hopefully, this initial text's references and footnotes would lead you to ANOTHER text you could utilize. All research had to be done physically in the library or you would have to check out the books or periodicals and take them home. But how could your professors ensure that you were not plagiarizing? That is a real mystery to me because I was not alive. I would assume that the teacher would have to do the leg work as well and double check all the resources too. Sounds TERRIBLE! </li>
<li><i>Currently:</i> The internet has simplified the research process. At the same time, it has produced some "bad" information because almost anyone is allowed to publish their opinions as fact online. To begin the research process one should begin at their university's online library page. You can access scholarly articles which are available for free using your school ID and password. I have become a huge fan of Google Scholar which allows you to search for scholarly articles online. It's almost easier than using the UF Library page and a lot of the same resources appear. After I find my initial article I look at the references and use those as a starting point as to where to search for further information. The method has not changed from the past to the present; just the media delivery form. You don't have to lug books from the library, you can keep all your files on your iPad of laptop. In regards to plagiarism, professors can now use countless websites that scan documents to pull text that is blatantly stolen. </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The questions stands: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Could we survive without these new devices?</span></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcvJPcIzCDLiynfiwhJ7zoIk68a-ubh3_zgvHE1zLAnRJJIhZnjeHsOKrYnpGIw1ovwO2C6Qex38mfs5ODT5AAb6F4MhWME0YJg00ZYJvABLoSAMa-IpN4oBEV2KtodSp6AdIlzQM1cTQ/s1600/elfwiese4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcvJPcIzCDLiynfiwhJ7zoIk68a-ubh3_zgvHE1zLAnRJJIhZnjeHsOKrYnpGIw1ovwO2C6Qex38mfs5ODT5AAb6F4MhWME0YJg00ZYJvABLoSAMa-IpN4oBEV2KtodSp6AdIlzQM1cTQ/s320/elfwiese4.jpg" width="320" /></a>Obviously we lived our lives just fine before the invention of these technologies. It may have taken longer and been "less convenient" to accomplish a task as easy as finding a new dentist, but we did it nonetheless. The tasks have remained the same, the way we accomplish them now involves technology that cuts time, connects us to one another, and enhances our abilities. I think it is important to stay grounded in the real life though. Teach your kids how to read a map. Read an actual paper book. And please, just go outside and lay in the grass and smell the flowers!<br />

Let me count the ways...I could honestly write a love letter or poem to my iPhone or iPad. They are a part of me. If I forget them at home, I am lost. I feel like I left my right hand at home (which actually wouldn't be too bad because I am a lefty.) A day without mobile technologies has me feeling disconnected, lonely, and disorganized. It's insane that little pieces of metal and glass can have that effect on you but it is a sad truth. <b><br /></b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
This year I was given the amazing opportunity to attend FETC 2012 at my school's request. While at the conference so many of the trending topics were mobile technologies in the classroom. I went to sessions on 1:1 mobile computing, BYOD trends, and even app shootouts. It was fantastic to see so many people passionate (and nerdy) about technology like me!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS3w1oQcRKl4tC75DtkdvT8zsqGMRHQPBsA9lUeUwSocmCkfdalENxCa93LTyopJVRh4zKf5J1kQq_HwnaolcdGkwmMs27xGyWT7vmMQWnvE-L2V7S-maqaFJRKnUfe91v-hcK5xWwbrY/s1600/Photo+23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS3w1oQcRKl4tC75DtkdvT8zsqGMRHQPBsA9lUeUwSocmCkfdalENxCa93LTyopJVRh4zKf5J1kQq_HwnaolcdGkwmMs27xGyWT7vmMQWnvE-L2V7S-maqaFJRKnUfe91v-hcK5xWwbrY/s400/Photo+23.jpg" width="400" /></a>The BYOD (bring your own device) trend is specifically useful for those working in schools that do not have devices to provide to students. On the IT end, this means expanding your network, protecting your network if multiple devices will be accessing it, and setting strict regulations of use. On the teachers end, it means creative curriculum and strong classroom management. I know many teachers who wouldn't touch student-owned devices with a 10-foot pole!<br />
<br />
If we can't provide students with technology in the classroom; then who are we to deny them the right to use their own? I read an article recently (found here: <a href="http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2012/03/students-demand-right-to-technology-in-schools074.html">Students Demand Technology</a>) that really got me thinking. The article is about a group of students who pleaded their case at the Digital Media and Learning Conference in San Francisco earlier this year. One student was quoted:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Why should l have to go to a library outside my school to have access
to computers that are available, but limited? Yes, we're learning to
type on our T-Mobile Sidekicks, because we're taking our own initiative.
But we're crucified by a process that's making us a permanent
underclass. We are forced to stay at the bottom, and this lack of
technology will not allow us to develop skills for the job <span id="more-19649"></span>market.
Budget cuts can no longer be a reason why me and my peers are
tech-illiterate. We've had this problem since before the economic
crisis."</blockquote>
Powerful words from such a young person; a person who has experience and self-awareness beyond her years. And this young woman is right! Why should she continue to be disadvantaged? She wants to use whatever she has to get ahead so we deny her that right? I don't know the right answer to these questions but I do know that there will be a shift in the coming years and mobile is the way to go. Mobile learning means that the knowledge acquisition and the communication can continue outside the 4 walls of the classroom. It allows student voice, choice, and preparation for the future. How can any of these things be bad?</div>Angel Rossihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07335148299281608825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145187484615866712.post-27594075862233923172012-04-01T11:23:00.000-04:002012-04-17T13:56:27.232-04:00Instructional Computing II Journal 4: Virtual Environments<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<b>- In what ways can multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) contribute to the learning experience? </b><br />
<b>- Do MUVEs benefit certain students or groups more than others?</b><br />
<br />
After this week's readings and podcasts, I began to question the validity of multi-user virtual environments. Is learning through virtual environments and avatars ACTUALLY experiential learning? <i>Well what is experiential learning?</i> According to Wikipedia experiential learning is, "the process of making meaning from direct experience." DIRECT is the key word I see here. Gee's (2008) article spoke about children reading a story then using figures to act concepts out. They were touching, feeling, role-playing, face-to-face. This is experiential in nature by my personal (albeit conventional) definition. I began to ponder if if MUVEs are as effective as "traditional" experiential learning and provide the <i>full</i> experience required by learners.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPVtpuboW95urGjm278PNtOnnsxrbzjAZngSY9IQPhWopYbi6GyIMp_tWTeAOYRTcFZ4OTZyuri2s6uwRTVUjbb2NY9BylCCLJkL79ctngOq0DMgtNkh-p6PmMb42dPwk1_d1VhoYtjrU/s1600/moshi_monsters_characters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPVtpuboW95urGjm278PNtOnnsxrbzjAZngSY9IQPhWopYbi6GyIMp_tWTeAOYRTcFZ4OTZyuri2s6uwRTVUjbb2NY9BylCCLJkL79ctngOq0DMgtNkh-p6PmMb42dPwk1_d1VhoYtjrU/s400/moshi_monsters_characters.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
MUVEs can contribute to the learning experience because they enhance the educational experience for the user or learner. Even if the MUVE is a virtual field trip; that field trip may be the <b>only</b> field trip a home-bound student may be able to experience. These MUVEs can open up a world of possibilities for many students and save in costs to schools. MUVEs are not necessarily cost-free though. The schools still need the technology (computers, microphones, cameras, etc.) and some software and virtual worlds come with membership fees. Essentially, my point is that MUVEs take learning a step further than we can in the traditional classroom and this can make the experience more memorable. <b>We want to make learning stick right?</b><br />
<br />
Wallace's (2010) podcast about the social inclusion that virtual worlds offer is an interesting standpoint as well. MUVEs allow users to create an avatar to represent themselves and take part in a community. So how can that be used in the educational setting? "Social groups exist to induct newcomers into distinctive experiences, and ways of interpreting and using those experiences, for achieving goals and solving problems," (Gee, 2008). Users can be a part of a group that learns in a multi-sensory environment while cooperating with one another. They are learning those "hard" academic skills and well as the "soft skills" like teamwork, cooperation, accountability. The student who will benefit from this are the ones who participate! They may also be the students who are seeking a place to feel the inclusion they don't get in the real world. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij_QHBqARCOcR5aietahKS-klwNF-eHXkYU6dY_rjS3XkMD9rlv0ZHPfwZW1xMPT4zN1QoXWLitJXDo7HSm7q2rvzjpbRozAjduwP61MnSDWYUGl2_DC6PZ1yyQGO-bV2GnBmwxFhtvZY/s1600/penguin-chat-3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="327" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij_QHBqARCOcR5aietahKS-klwNF-eHXkYU6dY_rjS3XkMD9rlv0ZHPfwZW1xMPT4zN1QoXWLitJXDo7HSm7q2rvzjpbRozAjduwP61MnSDWYUGl2_DC6PZ1yyQGO-bV2GnBmwxFhtvZY/s400/penguin-chat-3.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
So how do these experiences translate into an experiential learning? "People’s experiences are organized in
memory in such a way that they can draw on those experiences as from a
data bank, building simulations in their minds that allow them to
prepare for action," (Gee, 2008). So even if the experience is virtual and through an avatar, the user will still file that information into a data bank to be retrieved when they are called into action. I am still not 100% convinced that MUVEs can replace the real world or are as effective but I will say they have their place in education. In working with younger children I am not sure which MUVE would be most useful for them.<br />
<br />
The truth is they are using these environments on their own already! When I give them free time in the computer lab they automatically go to Moshi Monsters, Club Penguin, or Poptropica to play and interact with one another. They log in and play with each other while sitting next to each other. They say meet me at this room or play this game with me at this place. It's quite amazing to see them navigate their virtual worlds so effortlessly at such a young age. They don't even realize that they are dipping their little toes into MUVEs. We shall see what their future holds.<br />

One would hope that an online representation would model that of our actual real life selves. For example, we choose avatars and usernames that resonate with who we are. We seek out information and entertainment that pertains to our desires and interests. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">While many use the Internet to branch out as themselves online, others may be taking a different approach. Some use the Internet for role-playing games, alternate lives, anonymous forums, and other outlets that provide anonymity and personal expression. I believe that it all boils down to networking, information, and using the internet as a tool to express your passions and communicate with the rest of the world.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">For more information about my feelings on online representation and identity formation please visit my week 1 journal link: <a href="http://angel-teaches.blogspot.com/2012/03/instructional-computing-ii-journal-1.html">Perceptions</a> </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Question 2: How do we shape our ability to critically evaluate the credibility of information available online? </b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The ability to evaluate the credibility and validity of the information available online is a process that now begins in childhood. For those of us who did not grow up with computers, we may have had to acquire these skills independently in adulthood. These days, schools should instruct students on ways of analyzing the information and images they gather from the Internet. Modern day students are growing up in technology rich environments and are very comfortable consuming, generating, and collaborating using technology. It is up to educators like myself to instruct youth on how to navigate these complex media environments safely and successfully.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Tasha Bergson-Michelson’s MindShift article, “Building Good Research Skills: What Students Need to Know,” (2012) explains the information and research gap today’s students are facing. Students are lacking research skills and have abandoned scholarly databases in favor of search engines. You can’t really blame the students though because they don’t know any other way. They are a Google-happy generation. Any problem they have, just Google it! This however, has led them into some serious scholarly trouble.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The solution needs to be a revised method of teaching media literacy and information evaluation at a younger age. It is important for teachers to stress the use of multiple resources as one source may lead to another. Students need to learn to intertwine several types of resources. For example, some teachers turn their noses up at Wikipedia however, the reference links listed at the bottom of a wiki can lead to some excellent primary sources with a little hunting. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Teachers must also ask students to reflect on why they chose to click on one link over another. When using the Web together as a class, teachers can also demonstrate how to look for a definition of an unfamiliar word (Bergson-Michelson, 2011). The article also provided a 3-tiered scaffold approach to teaching research to students.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Steps of the Research Process:</span></div><ol style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Inquiry: </b>The free exploration of a broad topic to discover an interesting avenue for further research. (open ended web search)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Literature Review:</b> Seek points of authority on a topic, and pursue and identify the range of theories and perspectives on the subject. (Bibliographies, blog posts, and various traditional sources)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Evidence-Gathering:</b> Look for both primary- and secondary-source materials that build the evidence for new conclusions.</span></li>
</ol><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Lastly, it is important that students know what information they are looking for before they go crawling the web. Before performing a web search they should ask themselves what they expect to find and identify what they are looking for specifically. “What students need to be competent at is identifying the kind of source they’re finding, decoding what types of evidence it can appropriately provide, and making an educated choice about whether it matches their task,” (Bergson-Michelson, 2011). It is of the utmost importance that students understand and implement a varied approach and a critical eye when researching and evaluating information read on the Internet. </span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The readings this week were very "adolescent centric." Adolescence is a time of social growth and burgeoning personal identity. Growing up in the 21st century is markedly more complex for teens as they find their place both in the real world and digital world. Being a teenager is one of the most confusing and alienating times in your life. During those pivotal years, we want to feel a connection and know that someone else feels the same. Teens can now turn to social networks to find support, friends, and like-minded individuals. The idea behind creating an online social networking profile is in a sense a form of identity formation (Boyd, 2007). </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the creation of a profile we are able to express aspects of our personality that we want the world to know about. Sometimes people choose to embellish parts of themselves, some are honest, and perhaps others choose to leave out part of themselves they do not wish to share. After the creation of the account we create connections and communicate with others. The posting on walls, leaving comments, and messaging components further exhibit ones personality and how well we can interact with others. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Along with the great entrenchment in social networking comes the need to protect parts of our identities. Boyd & Hargittai (2010) spoke about the need for adolescents to protect their private information. The good news is more teens are protecting their identity more than we think which is hopeful. The older I get the more I realize I need to take a step back and be sure to weed out the accounts I no longer use or the delete the "friends" who I really don't need to be concerned with these days. My internet identity used to play a larger role in my life, perhaps because I was younger and felt isolated and wanted to reach out to people via the internet. Now I keep to myself, don't post as many photos, rarely blog about personal matters. My life has changed and my digital identity has changed as well.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Five years past the publication of Boyd's articles and I believe that we are now creating a personal brand for ourselves, not just an identity. I feel that personal branding is taking the social networking identity a step further. Our Facebook profile pictures match our Twitter icons, which matches the header on your Tumblr too. There would be a matching YouTube channel and corresponding Spotify account for media. We have social media packages, all bundled with matching accounts, avatars, and passwords. Teens today are taking social media as we know it and stretching it way further than we had imagined. They want to famous on the Internet; a phenomenon we have never seen until recently. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">While I am still very involved in social networking and the internet, I don't feel the need to be so deeply engrossed in personal branding as when I was younger. Boyd (2007) describes how teens used a small loophole to customize their Myspace pages with their own code and photos. I think I am past that stage of my life and into the phase where social networking has taken on a more utilitarian purpose in my life. If the site doesn't offer a service that I can't live with out, then forget about it! </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Here are the sites I use and their corresponding uses:</i></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Facebook = connect to friends/ spy on people from my past (haha)</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Pinterest = remember recipes, crafts, and clothing I want to purchase</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tumblr = follow really fashionable girls and steal their looks</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Twitter = follow some really amazing Ed Tech superstars and hear about all the trends</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Instagram = share photos and see what everyone else is doing with photos</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Blogger = school work!</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I think my social network quota is pretty full at this point! My identity is shaped well enough thank you very much!</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">How we perceive ourselves in the digital world greatly depends on how we present ourselves. I think that we judge others the way we judge ourselves in a sense.<b> </b>I like to think that what you see is what you get with me in the real world and the digital world but I am not so sure that is true. I am much more brave, sillier, colorful, less inhibited digitally than in real life. However, I am extremely careful of the way that I "carry" myself online because you never know who is watching you or judging.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I believe that I am much more quick to judge someone online based off something they put onto the net because I don't see them everyday. For example, if someone from my high school constantly sends me Facebook requests to play Farmville and posts party pictures every weekend I may think less of them. I don't interact with them every day. All I know is that they like to party and play games; two things I don't really value. It may be very judgmental but that's what this generation is: self-obsessed & judgmental. We advertise our lives and pretty much just take pictures to post and prove that we did this or that. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As I mature, I feel that I must be extremely careful to present myself in a manner that is true to myself but still appropriate and non-offensive when it comes to social networking. I know that family and prospective employers are looking for the "dirt" so I am certainly not providing them with it! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIM0AEv54O3TKmWBzaU0IV8gmE9NoVn8vNueRjIhZgx5SvW9HHbsl_04dxEIKmqNkG-BjX_qhoqun1me4BuPz5RH1lD4m1PKOlPWAOZ-LjUR0biL3MY5lI3ais_dlTR08GDjSrxZusBE/s1600/Facebook-Map-2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="158" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIM0AEv54O3TKmWBzaU0IV8gmE9NoVn8vNueRjIhZgx5SvW9HHbsl_04dxEIKmqNkG-BjX_qhoqun1me4BuPz5RH1lD4m1PKOlPWAOZ-LjUR0biL3MY5lI3ais_dlTR08GDjSrxZusBE/s320/Facebook-Map-2.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This year Gulliver Schools has purchased over 60 iPads to use throughout its Lower School campus, Gulliver Academy. Each grade level has been provided with a class set of 20 iPads that will rotate from class to class for 2 weeks at a time. It is the vision of Gulliver Academy that the iPads will be used to construct projects rather than drill and practice activities. Three apps have been chosen that allow users to create very different types of projects. The designer also seeks instill confidence and provide support throughout the learning process to my 3<sup>rd</sup> grade team. The ultimate goal of this unit is to enrich the learning experiences of 110 3<sup>rd</sup> graders of Gulliver Academy.</span></div><br />

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Learners will apply what they have learned about the apps by creating a project for each app. Additionally, learners will be exporting each of their projects to share in the future. Informal measures of performance will be based on observations made by the instructor during lessons, group discussions, and individual work. A pre-test and post-test interview will be administered and each project will be assessed with the previously created rubric (see attached rubric).</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><b> </b></span></div><br />

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The following are considerations for the implementation of this unit based on the CLER model:<br />
<br />
<b><u>Configuration and Linkages</u></b></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><ul style="text-align: left;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Collaboration between the instructor and the 3<sup>rd</sup> grade teachers will enhance the instructional value of this unit. Additional practice with the iPads will help the teaching team feel more comfortable with the technology that they in turn have to teach tot heir own classes. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Opportunities for cooperative group work will help the teaching team collaborate to create unit lessons for the 3<sup>rd</sup> grade students. Cross-curricular linkages can be made using the iPads. It is possible for the 3<sup>rd</sup> grade teachers to collaborate with the Science, Art, and Technology teachers to create meaningful iPad lessons.</span></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b><u>Environment<br />
</u></b></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The setting of the computer lab or classroom with several computers supports implementation of the unit. Each learner will use an iPad 2 provided by the school and has access to a computer with an Internet connection. In addition, the labs are equipped with a SmartBoard to facilitate instruction.<br />
<br />

There must be a pedagogical base to build an understanding of how students learn and how technology can support and assess learning (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003). Additionally, here is a need to emphasize content and pedagogy, not just hardware requirements (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003). Despite the critics concerns, computer-based instruction does have the ability to individualize the educational process to accommodate the need, interests, proclivities, current knowledge, and learning styles of the student (Schacter, 1999). Technology is not the final destination; discovering new ways of teaching with technology is the goal. By paying attention to the learner, the learning environment, professional competency, systems capacity, community connections, technology capacities, and accountability, technology will be kept in service to learning (Schacter, 1999). Critics fear that technology in the classroom will teach children to process sequentially like a computer rather than construct knowledge creatively. On the contrary, technology is triggering changes away from lecture-driven instruction and toward constructivist, inquiry-oriented classrooms (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003). </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">To cope with the demands of the 21<sup>st</sup> century, learners need to know more than just core subjects. We need to know how to use and apply our skills such as: thinking critically, applying knowledge to new situations, analyzing information, comprehending new ideas, communicating, collaborating, solving problems, and making decisions (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003). Technology is no longer being taught in isolation, it can be seen within classroom amongst several disciplines. Technology is increasingly seen as not an isolated addition to curriculum, but as one of a number of tools that might be used to support a process of comprehensive curricular reform (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003).</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><b>My Response:</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">A major and valid concern of critics of educational technology is the lack of experience, support, and professional development that teachers using technology possess. Both positive and negative teacher attitudes toward technology can affect the success of educational technology implementation in the classroom. Professional development is a crucial element in any coordinated approach to improving technology uses in schools. Students whose teachers received professional development on computers showed gains in math scores of up to 13 weeks above grade level (Schacter, 1999). “Educators implementing technology in the classroom have redefined the boundaries of the school building and the school day, improved the quality and accessibility of the administrative data that informs their work, and fostered the learning of core content and the development of students’ skills as communicators, researchers, and critical consumers,” (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003). Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp (2003) recommend that schools must provide more sustained high quality professional development and overall support for teachers seeking to innovate and grow in this domain. They also ascertain that there is a strong need for new teacher training methods to be developed and the need to attract more able candidates to the teaching profession (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003).</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.5in;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><b>My Response:</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">The critics of educational technology believe that too much money has been invested in technology while other programs suffer unwarranted budget cuts. More than $40 billion dollar has been invested in infrastructure, professional development, and technical support (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003). According to Honey, Mandinach, and McMillian Culp (2003) there is a strong need to create additional funding to establish an adequate level of technology and training in schools. In addition, technological literacy has been of great importance in recent legislation. This literacy includes the ability to use computers to communicate, locate and manage information, and use these tools to support the learning content of “other basics,” (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003). An investment in educational technology is an investment in our future. “Technology is the embodiment and the means of much of the social and economic change in the past century,” (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003). However, there is a great need to develop long-range plans for sustainable technology investment, which can only come from a collaboration with the private sector and the local community (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><b>My Response:</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">The efficacy of educational technology has been criticized in recent literature.<b> </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">The critics believe that not enough research has been done on the efficacy of educational technology. According to Schacter (1999), “On average students who used computer based-instruction scored at the 64<sup>th</sup> percentiles on tests of achievement compared to students in the control condition without computers who scored in the 50<sup>th</sup> percentile.” Students with computer-based instruction like their classes more and develop more positive attitudes when their classes include computer-based instruction (Schacter, 1999). Honey, Mandinach, and McMillian Culp (2003) recommend that more empirical studies be designed to determine which approaches to the use of technology are in fact more effective. They also see a need to increase and diversify research, evaluation, and assessment as well as review, revise, and update regulations and policy that affect in-school use of technology (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003).</span><b></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><b>Improving Interaction and Educational Gains:</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Students want human interaction and the self-expression that distance learning cannot provide (Massy & Zemsky, 2004).</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>E-learning has become word processing and Internet searches (Amiel, 2006).</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Word-processing programs encourage students to haphazardly place together sentences using cut-and-paste as well as research without thinking (Oppenheimer, 1997).</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Students may end up utilizing "procedural thinking," similar to the way a computer processes information (Oppenheimer, 1997).</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Computers suffer frequent breakdowns.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><b>My Response:</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">The critics of educational technology propose that technology in the classroom distracts from face-to-face interaction. They also believe that students will be unable to create connections with teachers while their social development and educational gains will be stifled. However, according Schacter (1999) students in technology rich environments experience a positive effect on achievement in all major subject areas. Further more, higher order uses of computers and professional development are positively related to students’ academic achievement in mathematics for both 4<sup>th</sup> and 8<sup>th</sup> grade students (Schacter, 1999). With technology, students learn more in less time (Schacter, 1999). Additionally, Schacter (1999) states that, “Students’ attitudes toward learning and their own self-concept improved consistently when computers were used for instruction.” Despite the critics’ claims, new learning experiences require higher-level reasoning and problem solving skills (Schacter, 1999).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><b>My Response:</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">The last criticism of educational technology is that the increasing technologies in the classroom create a world of technology-haves and have-nots. According to Honey, Mandinach, and McMillian Culp (2003) having enough technology infused in schools would be the first step toward the widespread and effective use of educational technology hence, slowly bridging the digital divide. Technology accessibility is at the heart of closing the digital divide. “Accessibility not only refers to physical accessibility but also to access to relevant and appropriate content, to adequate support and training, and the ability to make use of technology to create and consume information and ideas,” (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003). The critics argue that hardware will not solve the technological inequalities; only technology literacy can be a long-term solution. Increasing the technological literacy of the public would improve decision making, increase citizen participation, support a modern workforce, enhancing social well-being, and narrow the digital divide (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003). The world that we inhabit is rapidly changing and our students will be entering a job force that not even we can foresee. “The ability to expect and adapt to change is fundamental to success in the job market and to active citizenship,” (Honey, Mandinach, & McMillian Culp, 2003).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Purpose for One-to-One Evaluation:<br />
<br />
</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">The purpose of the one-to-one evaluation was to estimate and determine an appropriate time frame for completion of the instructional unit. The other purpose of the one-on-one evaluation is to see if the instructional unit presentation is clear and if the instructor can accurately answer all learner questions.<br />
<br />
<b>Characteristics of Learners in One-to-One Evaluation:</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
Two learners who self-assessed and identified themselves to be at differing levels of technology literacy. These two learners were identified in an effort to address different levels of technology experience and to meet the needs of different types of learners. <br />

</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">The one-to-one evaluation was conducted face-to-face in the school computer lab after school on a Wednesday for an hour during professional development time.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
In observing learner #1, the lower technology literate learner, the designer noticed that she has very eager to learn and asked many questions. A slower pace was required for her to complete the directed tasks. She still does not necessarily know the basics of the iPad so discerning and locating icons as well as knowing the buttons of the iPad and their functions may be an issue for her. She will require more guidance from the instructor. It should be noted that this learner does not have an iPhone or and iPad at home and does not have much experience with it outside of the computer lab. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In observing learner #2, the higher technology literate learner, the designer noticed that she followed the direction with much ease and went ahead of the directions. This learner was very open to exploring the apps further than what was directed, adding multiple stickers to the comic project and rerecording her narration on Sonic Pics and Sock Puppets if she was not satisfied. This learner has an iPad in her home but does not have these specific apps on her personal iPad. She is familiar with all of the basic functions and operations on the iPad.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Both learners asked questions when they were behind in the instruction. Learner #1 needed many locations pointed out to her as to where a certain icon or button was on the screen. Learner #2 went through the instruction with ease and began to brainstorm with learner #1 as to how they could incorporate these apps into their classrooms. Both learners felt that these apps would be appropriate for their classes. Learner #2 said she would be very comfortable teaching her students how to use the apps while learner #1 said she needed more practice before teaching others.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
As part of the one-to-one formative evaluation, the designer learned:</span></div><ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">There is a need to provide easy step-by-step directions for the learners to follow. These directions need to be demonstrated on the SmartBoard at the same time that learners are working or in the form of a video. Visual representation of directions will be best received.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The learners will need to see the assessment checklist for the creation of the final project.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Both learners enjoyed the apps and feel that they will be useful to their students in the subjects of language arts or social sciences.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Learners feel they may require at least an hour to embark on this unit.</span></li>

<b>Characteristics of Small-Group Learners:</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> <br />
The small group is comprised of six 3<sup>rd</sup> grade teachers. This is a heterogeneous grouping of female teachers with at least 10 years of teaching experience. Of the 6 learners, only one has an iPad in her home. Two of the learners use the iPhone.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>Instruments for Small-Group Evaluation:</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></div><ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Designer’s observations </span></li>

<br />
<u>Pre-instructional Activities</u> <br />
The learners have participated in an all-staff professional development conference about iPad 101 taught by Mr. Tony Vincent. The session included the basic functions of the iPad, the buttons on the iPad and what they do, and how to use Mail, Camera, Photo Library, Notes, Maps, and other apps that come standard with the iPad. <br />
<br />
<u>Lesson Introduction</u> <br />
The designer will begin the lesson by introducing the project based app activity and ask the teachers what kind of projects they do with their students. The designer will ask the following questions:</span></div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">What kind of projects do you usually create with your students?</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">What materials do you usually use to have them create projects?</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">What core subject areas do you usually do projects for?</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">How have you used technology in the past to create these projects?</span></li>
</ul></ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The learners listed off several large units that they do with their students each year. They have used the computers to create PowerPoint slides for their pioneer unit. They create word processed poetry and letters several times a year with their classes. They are excited that the iPad may offer a new level of engagement for their students. The learners biggest concern is being able to perform the designated tasks associated with each app before returning to class and teaching their own students.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<br />
<u>Instructional and Evaluation Activities</u> <br />
The instructor began with the Sonic Pics Lite app. The instructor showed the learners where the app icon was located and then instructed them to click it. Next they created a new project and gave it a title. The learners imported photos from the library into their project. Next they separated from the group and recorded a sample narration in different parts of the room as to not pick up too much outside noise interference. The instructor circulated around the room and assessed if everyone was on track. After the narration the instructor showed the learners how to save and share a final copy. The instructor asked one of the learners to share their URL to their project so it could be played out loud on the SmartBoard. The learners then discussed how they could use this app with their students and what projects would be appropriate.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Next the instructor began the portion about COMIC BOOK!. The learners and instructor located the app and created a new project. They created a 4-framed comic strip and added 2 photos from the library and 2 using the camera tool. The instructor demonstrated how to change the color effects (or FX) within each image. The instructor encouraged the learners to try out 4 different FX. The instructor then demonstrated and assisted the learners is adding stickers, captions, and titles. The learners then saved their finished comics to the Photo Library. The learners then discussed how they could use this app with their students and what projects would be appropriate.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The instructor then began the final portion of the instructional unit on Sock Puppets. The instructor located the icon on the iPad and then showed the learners how to create a new project. The learners chose up to 4 characters, a background, at least 1 moveable prop, and at least 1 stationary prop. The learners moved to different areas of the room to record their puppet show narration. They practiced recording, playing, and rerecording their narration. The learners then uploaded the puppet show to YouTube using the instructor’s sample account that was created for the instructional unit. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Upon completion of the instructional lessons, the learners were informally interviewed as a group to determine whether they believed that the instruction was sufficient, if the apps were useful, if they would be comfortable teaching others what they had just experienced, and what they felt they needed in addition to the information presented. The learners were dismissed and the designer assessed each project that they made via the 3 apps using the checklist.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<br />
<b>Discussion of Small-Group Data:</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> <br />
Observations made by the teacher during the lesson as well as informal interviews with the learners suggest that learners had a decent grasp of the sequencing to create a project with each of these apps. Learners listened intently and followed along to the steps being demonstrated on the board. They enjoyed taking pictures using the camera tool and importing other photos that had been previously saved to the photo library. The learners began to work together to help one another when someone did not understand exactly what was happening. The instructor had to be very careful of the pacing to not lose those who required more time or allow those who understood to skip too far ahead. There were moments when the instructor had to point out specific locations of buttons in the COMIC BOOK! app. The learners were very open to discussing how they could apply these apps to their instructional units in the classroom. The instructor provided additional explanations of several functions of the apps that we were not utilizing during the instruction as the request of some of the learners. It is possible that these additional options offered within each app could be included in a further instructional unit. <br />
<br />
<b>*See attachment below to view the learner interview findings.</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<br />
<b>Revisions for Instruction and Assessment:</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
Based on the results of the one-to-one and small group evaluations, minor revisions will be made to the instructional unit. The 1 hour to 1.5 hour time limit would be appropriate for the final instructional unit. The learners enjoyed being able to follow along and would like to share these apps with other grade level teachers. The designer has decided to create a step-by-step video to creating projects on each of these apps so it may be used again in the future. The designer feels that the objectives do not need to be modified. However, it may be beneficial to instruct learners how to share their work over multiple mediums based upon the sharing capabilities of each app (email, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.). This instructional unit could be beneficial to several grade levels. Each app chosen produces a different type of project. Each objective of this app could also be a “micro-unit” that could be taught to different learners depending on their classroom needs. </span><br />

My name is Angelica Rossi and I am a graduate student of Educational Technology at the University of Florida. Today I will be reviewing Byron Reeves and Clifford Nass' The Media Equation: How People Treat Computers, Television, and New Media Like Real People and Places.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;"><b>AUTHOR BACKGROUND AND QUALIFICATIONS:</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">The authors of the Media Equation are impressive academics, researchers and writers. Byron Reeves is a professor of Communication at Stanford University. Besides teaching, Reeves is the co-founder and co-director of H-STAR, the Human Sciences and Technologies Advanced Research Institute and its industrial affiliate program, Media X.</span><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;"> Reeves is <span class="style1">an expert on the psychological processing of media in the areas of attention, emotions, learning, and physiological responses.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">Clifford Nass holds Ph.D. of sociology from Princeton University. He founded and directs CHIME Lab, the Communication between Humans and Interactive Media Lab, which focuses research of automobile interfaces, mobile interfaces, human-robot interaction and several other social-psychological aspects of human-interactive media interaction. Nass is also the author of over 125 papers on the psychology of technology and statistical methodology. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;"><b>BOOK HISTORY AND INTRODUCTION:</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">Nass and Reeves, began work on the Media Equation in 1986 while both working at Stanford University. At the time, Reeves was a professor researching television and film; while Nass was interested in responses to computers. Back then they thought that their two research topics had nothing in common but the more they discussed their work the more closely related they believed computers and television to be.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">The Media Equation seeks to answer the questions: </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 14pt;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">Can people confuse media with real life? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 14pt;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">And do we interact with media, computers, television, films, and various other forms of media the same way that we do with other human beings? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">The Media Equation comes from a research project called Responses to Communication Technologies. The authors believe that their research shows that individuals’ interactions with computers, television, and new media are fundamentally social and natural, just like interactions in real life.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;"><b>THE RESEARCH PROCESS:</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">The experiments use the same methods that psychologists use to determine how people respond to each other in the physical world. The authors picked social science findings on how people respond to each other or natural environment. Then they identified the social or natural rule within the report. Such as, “People like to be praised by other people even if it undeserved." They then cross out the word person or environment in the study and substitute with the word media. “People like to be praised by media even if it is undeserved.” The researchers would then reconstruct the experiment to test their new rule using a human/media interaction rather than human/human interaction. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">Evidence of the media equation is found in the 35 experiments that make up this book. The authors tested the human media interactions across many phenomena such as: politeness, interpersonal distance, flattery, judging others and ourselves, personality of character, interfaces, imitating personality, negativity, arousal, good versus bad, and media as several social roles and forms.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">Whether we are an expert or novice of media, the media equation is inescapable. Our subconscious reactions are in a sense being used against us to elicit desired responses. So often we are told that media are tools rather than the actual players in real life. However, media has evolved to capitalize on fundamental human responses. We can benefit from understanding and acknowledging the media equation. This theory can help improve the design of media as well as help outsiders become better evaluators of media. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;"><b>MY REVIEW AND RATING:</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">I am giving this book a 3 out of 5 stars because while the topic is interesting, the information is presented in an uninteresting way. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">In their defense, the authors use many relatable examples and conversational speech patterns that the reader can identify with. The amount of psychological studies that the authors undertook is quite amazing yet very overwhelming for the reader. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">I also thought that the title is deceiving. I thought it would be about how humans project their feelings and attachments onto their technology but this was not the case. I feel that Reeves and Nass told us things that most people may already know but are just afraid to accept when it comes to media. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; font-size: 14pt;">This book would be most useful for those who design technology, software, or are in the graphic design and film industries. People who shape our perceptions and experiences with media would be able to use this information. Overall, the book was a decent read but it just wasn’t for me.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><br />

First, the goal statement of the project has been limited to one concise, clear sentence. The designer has also moved forward with the decision of which apps will be included in the project. The 3 apps to be taught will be Sonic Pics Lite, COMIC BOOK!, and Sock Puppets. The instructor has decided upon these 3 apps because they are all very versatile and can lend themselves to many different subjects, can be used over several age groups, and each app produces a completely different product than one another. The designer has also altered the List of Entry Competencies and defined what content was covered in the iPad 101 training that the learners participated in prior to their involvement with the current instructional design project. Furthermore, the designer has clarified role of the instructor and support staff regarding their involvement in the design project.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #444444; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><br />

Each grade level has been provided with a class set of 20 iPads that will rotate from class to class for 2 weeks at a time. As a Lower School Technology Instructor, I have been asked to assist the many classes in implementing the iPad into our classrooms and curriculum. <br />
<br />
After two years experience of working with teaching teams in grades Senior Kindergarten through 4<sup>th </sup>grade, it is my opinion that the 3<sup>rd</sup> grade team is the most seasoned group of educators yet experiences the most difficulty implementing innovative and creative technologies. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I see all 3rd grade classes in the computer lab and I have worked closely with the 3rd grade team of teachers. The 3rd grade team will be my learners for this project. They are a seasoned group of teachers who do not have iPads or iPhones at home. They are capable and willing to try something new, however, they find it most difficult of all the teams to implement technology in the classroom.<br />
<br />
It is the vision of Gulliver Academy's principals and technology integrationist, that the iPads will be used to create technological projects rather than drill and practice activities. I will focus my report on using 3 different educational apps that will yield 3 different types of projects. Gulliver Schools offers technology training twice a month as a part of their professional development plan. The teachers will already understand the basics of the iPad (how to turn it on, email work, etc), therefore, they will be ready to learn how to use these apps in the classroom.</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt;"></span></div></td> </tr>

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">When beginning the search for my scholarly articles relating to different models of instructional design I first went to Google Scholar at the suggestion of a coworker and UF Educational Technology alumnus. I also explored the UF Library distance portal and I found a few articles that interested me but ultimately, Google Scholar won the fight due to straightforwardness and ease of use. I started by simply searching, “instructional design model.” I am very new to the instructional design field so I assumed that it would be best to report on two articles that explain different types of models of instructional design rather than the stages of instructional design. I know very little about the subject so getting a feel for two different models seemed like the best route to take.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">After I decided upon my search topic, I resolved to only search of current articles. I made sure that I used articles that were published within the last 10 to 12 years. During my undergraduate career I studied psychology. During those years, I wrote many research papers and article reviews. I was instructed to always look for the most current, up-to-date work. The first article I decided to use was “Towards an instructional design model based on learning,” by Laverde, Cifuentes, and Rodriguez (2007). It should be noted that when I was searching for my articles, I was at work and in a bit of a rush before my next class was scheduled to arrive. I scanned the abstract and keywords and decided that this would suffice for this project. This was in hindsight, a great mistake on my part. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"> I found “Towards an instructional design model based on learning objects,” (Cifuentes, Laverde, & Rodriguez, 2007) to be vague and redundant. This article was based around the reform of the policies of Higher Education in Colombia. Perhaps it is the translation of the article, or maybe it is my lack of experience in instructional technology, but this article made very little sense to me. According to the authors, the Columbian Government and the Columbian Universities, in recent years have resolved to formulate a long-term vision for higher education. The committee seeks to base its policy improvements around five axes: quality improvement, the improvement of the coverage for all Higher Education subsystems, modifications to the financial scheme on behalf of the state, the improvement of internal procedures within institutions, and internalization of Higher Education (Cifuentes, Laverde, & Rodriguez, 2007). </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">Essentially, the authors’ main focus is to improve education in Columbia through a process of creating quality contents with instructional design utilizing learning objects. What are learning objects you ask? Well, I asked the same question because I kept reading this article completely baffled by what learning objects may or may not be. I did a little side research myself and discovered that a learning object is, “<span class="restitle">any entity, digital or non-digital, that may be used for learning, education or training," (Beck, 2009). Learning objects are also a way </span>to break educational content down into small chunks that can be reused in other learning environments (Beck, 2009).</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">The authors of “Toward an instructional design model based on learning objects,” (2007) concede that the definitions of learning objects are “rather wide and ambiguous” therefore; it is convenient to say that anyone can use learning objects in the classroom. “A learning object, as a proper definition presented in this article, is a digital, self-contained, reusable entity with a clear learning aim that contains at least three changing elements: content, instructional activities, and context elements,” (Cifuentes, Laverde, & Rodriguez, 2007). The authors believe that there are four reasons why learning objects should be used to establish a hopeful path of Columbian Higher Education. First, they believe that learning objects have become a complex institutional process that go beyond an individual production is led by a teachers enthusiastic motivation. Secondly, learning objects should be stored in repositories that allow for public use. Thirdly, learning objects permit easy application as a study material for independent work, self-study, or as a compliment to traditional, distance, virtual or blended learning processes. Finally, the authors believe that learning objects are multidimensional tools that are not only applicable to study materials, but also as a teaching strategy (Cifuentes, Laverde, & Rodriguez, 2007).</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">After reading this article and coming to a better understanding of learning objects, I can see that this model of instructional design would compliment many learning environments. The University of Florida distance education program I am currently enrolled in utilizes some aspects of the learning objects. We have message boards, articles accessible through the Internet in PDF form, and weekly units that are “chunked” into small easy to digest segments. I also agree with the authors when they state that learning objects should be accessible to all for this model to be affective. Technological equity is not something that we often think of when speaking about higher education because generally we think that every college student has a laptop, iPod, smart phone, etc. However, this is not the case for many learners who have to use a college computer lab late into the night. As stated by the authors, learning objects are ambiguous in theory but I may have been using them in my classroom without ever putting a label to these methods. “Toward an instructional design model based on learning objects,” (2007) was honest and straightforward in its approach to instructional design. However, I believe that I was seeking a design model that was more concrete than conceptual to put into practice in my own classroom.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">The second article I discovered in my search is essentially the polar opposite of the first article. “Non-linear instructional design model: eternal, synergistic design and development,” (2004) by Caroline Crawford explains the purpose of the instructional design process and a more holistic overview of the design process. The author states, “Instructional design models have been developed to fit into numerous theoretical models and philosophical expectations so as to appropriately fit the needs, desires, and expectations of the instructional designer,” (Crawford, 2004). The first ID model I studied implements learning objects as a tool of instructional design with all phases falling within specific time parameters and learning expectations; this article works backward in a non-linear fashion. “Often a glimmer of an idea is developed to give the core of an instruction situation,” (Crawford, 2004). Personally, I feel that this “glimmer of an idea” is what creating effective instruction is all about. It is my belief that teaching should be inspired rather than regimented and stiff.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">Crawford speaks of a less restrictive instructional design model, as traditional linear models did not fit her nature. I have to agree that often when I am planning instruction I think about the final goal of what I want my students achieve rather than starting from the rigid phases of the ADDIE model. “I began generating a model in the back of my mind that more appropriately met the need of my own developmental needs and my philosophical conceptual framework of the instructional design process,” (Crawford, 2004). From this need came the Eternal, Synergistic Design Model, which offers a continual growth process with a strong emphasis on evaluation. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">Crawford speaks of the synergistic growth and refinement of the final product. However, there will never be a final product because each time the plan is implemented, it can be improved and developed further. “Implementation of the product most appropriately occurs at numerous points through the instructional design process so as to ensure formative evaluation ad feedback in obtained throughout the design and development processes. I feel that in reality, this model holds true. No matter how well you plan and design instruction, the end product will always change because you cannot account for the unexpected, human influence. As teachers, we must always be flexible and willing to accommodate our students, hence changing our lessons if something is amiss in delivery. Crawford’s emphasis on constant evaluation and feedback enhances the design and development within the model, which creates a superior product (Crawford, 2004).</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">The Eternal, Synergistic Design Model shares some roots with the constructivist model of learning. “The Eternal, Synergistic Design Model offered herein further supports the real-world focus upon the end user or customer,” (Crawford, 2004). As an elementary teacher, I can identify with this model because it can also be applied to project-based learning as well. Crawford’s model is based in reality as it is clear yet flexible. Of the two models I studied for this report, the Eternal, Synergistic Design Model would be applied to my instructional designs in a very natural and simple way. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">References</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br />
