3 26 11

I accidentally posted to Melissa's Blog instead of mine.  This is what we accomplished on 3-26-11:
Today we reviewed "Site Hardware" such as:
  • Appliances and Servers
  • Telephone, Radio, and Emergency Equipment
  • Wires and Wireless
  • Switches and hubs-Switches are where up to 24 ports are available to hook into the Lan and manage the connection to the computers to the computers/devices attached. Also, certain IP's can be blocked from these such as adult sites, gaming, etc... held by Racks (tall cabinets that mount switches) Patch panels determine which ports you would like active.
  • Routers
  • Video and Videoconferencing
  • School Level Support

 5 important chapters/ideas from Using Technology with Classroom Instruction.

Dr. Thomas brought his C&I students into our class for a combined lesson.  We reviewed different types of Data collection systems, discussing the uses and reliability of this data for improving student learning/achievement.  Amanda Rider presented a piece on voicethreads, a presentation software/device that allows presenters to use photos, words, and actual voice to share information on the desired subject.
It was good to collaborate with our C&I counterparts and the discussion was very engaging.
