idk how to fix the map! lol but i think the problem is it works on Firefox but not Internet Explorer.. at least that's what happened on my computer. if you guys want to try to fix it you can.. if not we can just try to use firefox there if that's the problem.

i tried redoing the map. let me know if it works or not..

hey, i just found it on the blog on when i clicked on it, it took me to the site.  i logged out of my account and then looked at the site and i could still see it, so it's weird that it's not showing up.  i added picture sources by putting the website links directly on the pictures (not the google images web address) and then i just added a little sentence at the bottom that said "click on the pictures for a direct link to web sources." i hope that's okay for the sources.  i did it for my two pages and the main page.  anything else we're missing?

Google

The google map is not showing up.. where did you get it and I will try to upload it again.

google

i added the google map and document to "teaching others." idk if that's a good place.. let me know if it needs to be moved. also, you can change/add to the description because i wasn't sure what to put. lol

i have a few more things to do i on my pages so we have to cite our pics on the bottom of our page.

:)

the website's coming together nicely. thanks for adding that. i just put the links on the pictures, so when you click on them it goes to the website. does that count as citing it? i could add them to the bottom too if we need to. did anyone add the google map/document thing? do we just have to have the map and document added like on the blog or was there a lesson plan to go with it? i can't remember..

What else needs to be done

I don't know where to get the google maps or google document assignment. Can someone upload this. Also at the bottom of my pages I put

Resources: Images provided by __________ and linked the website. I saw this is how one of the example groups did it.

So far I have:

• Added my three lessons
• my movie
• Did Cost and Procedures and Activities
• Added a starting sentence
• added one picture per page and sited them at the bottom of the page
• I added "Last updated December 2010" at the bottom of every page because one of the rubrics said to and I didn't want to miss points for something that silly

What else needs to be done? I am going to add more information from the book in my starting sentences to incorporate more project based learning info.

Website

Hey, I have updated all of my stuff and just keep adding and adding to the website. I keep going over the rubric to make sure we aren't missing something simple. I added "last updated" to each of the pages because that is in the rubric. It also says we needed to site were we got the pictures from for each page. Where did you guys put your sitations? Should I just add mine to the bottom of the page?? Let me know! :)

What's done..

Here's what's done so far:

Blog and Podcast - Home page

Standards - You can add/take out any. I just picked some I thought worked.

Inspiration

WMU link



We still need to add:

Google Maps lesson and Google document

Each page needs a description on how it's incorporated in the unit I think..

And every page needs something new on it and a picture.

All lessons/links/videos etc.



I have all my lessons, 6 links, and video on there. I think I just need links to add sources on my pics.  Anything else I missed let me know.

Sorry there are like 10 posts. Just wanted to try to organize things so I don't forget anything. :)

Have a good weekend.

one more thing..

Sorry, another post.. we also have to have 3 new websites on there along with the 3 we evaluated! 

Hey.

Hey, the last post was from me, I was still logged in as Stephanie from working on the site.


I wanted to add don't forget to put links to your websites that you evaluated and a short description.  Make sure they go with the page. You don't have to put the actual evaluations though.

Almost done..

Hey,
Maryann and I were at the lab today..
I'm almost done with both of my pages.
We each only have to do one real lesson and then the other thing is just writing about another lesson idea.
I forgot where we wanted to post the podcast, so I'm doing it on the homepage.
If you guys want to move it you can.

lisa and I will be there also

Website

So for the website I am working on cost and procedures and activities. For the cost and procedures I am going to get information from the local recycling plant and for activities I am going to create a character out of recycled materials.

One week!

One week until the website is due! We'll have to do a lot today :) I think I'll work on my part at home too because I don't think I'll finish it all today in class.. See you tonight!

Sorry!

Hey! Sorry I missed class! I am going to work on the website this week and go in for the open lab this Friday from 1-4 in hopes to get this thing DONE! Let me know if you need anything from me before next Monday.

Almost there!

Let's get this website done! YAY!

Hey girls keep up ther good work

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Holidays Group! I hope to get a jump start on the website before I see you all on Monday but we will see how that goes. Hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday!

Hello!

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend! I'll see you guys next week to work on the website!

Website

Hey Group! Here are some of my ideas for the website.
Our big picture: Creating a recycling program for a school.
Tabs:

• Learning about what can and can not be recycled
• Students can go to a recycling plant
• Informing other classrooms the importance of recycling and teaching others how to recycle properly.

Let me know about your ideas!

Website

I am excited to start our website! Hopefully we can get a good start today!

So group our overall project will be making a school recycling community

Podcast!

I'm excited that we are finishing our podcast today! Great job group!

Website

How about we brainstorm about how we want the website to be set up. Then we will set up the website and then each work on it! Let me know if anyone else has any other ideas.

Dont forget that we have to submit podcast by friday

Podcast

Hello Recycling Friends!
When would you guys like to finish the podcast? So far we have the music and all of the talking, so now all we need to do is make the music quieter when we talk!! Hope your Monday is going well!!

Podcast!

Good job today guys! Can't wait to finish Monday.

music for podcast

Hello Group,
For the podcast I stayed with music that wouldn't be too distracting when we had to talk over it. It is an acoustic guitar with some other instruments in it. It sounds pretty. Hope you like it. It is only 4.14 minutes long so I hope that is long enough!
Can't wait to start "taping"! :)

Podcast

For my part of the podcast, I am going to write my script about the concept map, web evaluations and hot links, and lastly my lesson plan 2 dealing with Excel.

I will be working on the blog, movie maker, research and data, and also one conept from the book. Bring script for next week and be ready to record.

Podcast

Okay, so for the Podcast I am going to focus on:

• What project based learning is
• a lesson that we did that has collaborative learning.

I should cover two things from the book but it would be good if you guys looked through the book and used some PBL terminology as well. Let me know what you think!

I like our concept map and all the things that we added

Digital Story!

I am done with my digital story on the pros of recycling! I hope yours are going well! See you Monday :)

Concept Map Update 2!

Concept Map

We decided to add a section on classroom ideas. We chose to do this because of our discussion on lesson plans and data collection!

I will do the third map for my lesson 2 i will be comparing the recycling weight to non recycled weight at home and at school and see if they are decreasing and increasing through time

Lesson Plan 2

Hello!

I am going to do my data collection on how much the class recycles. They'll have to collect data everyday for a few weeks and figure out the total that they recycled over time. I'm thinking they may weigh the bins they recycle in and record how heavy the bins are to determine how much they collected for the day.

Thanks!
Lisa

Lesson Plan 2

What are you guys thinking of doing for your data lesson plan 2??

2nd concept map

Hey group! Our second concept map is due Friday, October 29. I did the first concept map and it says a new group member will do the second concept map. Who is going to do this? Let me know!

Thanks!

Lesson Plan

Hey group! I finished my lesson plan! I had students research categories of recycling - glass, metal, plastic, and paper. And then I had them create a poster with pictures of different materials to go with each category. I hope your lesson plans are going well! See you Monday!

I will be doing the way we can help to recycle. Cant wait

Con's

Hello Group!!
I am focusing on the Con's for my movie. I think I am going to add humor along with facts about the cons of not recycling. I know I will be able to locate a lot of facts about how long it takes certain materials to break down which I think will be interesting. Do you have any suggestions on music that can go along with recycling?

Movie Maker!

Hello,
I'm going to do my movie on the PROS of recycling!!

lesson plan idea

My lesson plan idea is have the students have a scavebger hunt then they have to create something with what they find. of course this is just a rough idea i will elaborate more on.

Google Maps

Here is our map to go with assignment 4. We chose to draw a line connecting the students in Kalamazoo, Michigan and Sydney, Australia who were doing a project on recycling.


View Recycle in a larger map

Lesson Plan Idea

My rough idea is to have the students do a project so they can learn what materials can be recycled and how they can help the environment through reuse, reduce, and recycle!

This is my idea for my lesson plan:

• Have the students research recycling, recycling programs and things that people can do in everyday life.
• Get into groups and have them brainstorm (based on their research) what we could do as a class to facilitate recycling.
• Present to the class their ideas with visuals
• Have the class vote on what program they would like to start in our class.
  
• Then work with the ideas and put it into effect into the classroom!

What do you think? When I write my lesson plan I'm going to expand on a lot of these ideas. This was just my thinking. Let me know if you have any feedback!

Google Document

Websites on recycling

These are the websites that I found

www.kapoleims.k12.hi.us

www.epa.gov

www.kidsrecycle.org

Websites on recycling

Here are the websites that I want to focus on:
http://mediapolicycenter.org
http://www.ourearth.org/education
http://www.kidsface.org/pages/sac.html

The last website focuses on the children getting involved. Part of the website says:
In conjunction with planning youth environmental activities and associating with Kids For A Clean Environment, we ask that your programs and activities include:
*Focus on solution, not problems, and without "pointing of fingers"
*Motivate participants to take positive actions
*Strive for ethnic/cultural, economic, age, gener, and physical ability diversity
*at NO time be used to influence local, regional, state, or national rules, policies, laws or government officials

This would be a good website for students to brainstorm what THEY can do to help. This would be a good community building activity for a classroom to participate in. Instead of just learning about recyling, they can learn what they can do.

3 Websites
