Video critiques
Video 8- Shows the teacher allowing the students to critique their own video projects using the same scoring the teacher would to show them how to improve their video making skills. The students seemed to really grasp the concept the teacher was trying to get across to them.
Video 3 - The teacher has the students reviewing an article that they read. She is discussing how necessary it is to bring the students into the computer lab to edit their writing and to create their graphic organizers. She also discusses the trasining and the skills teachers and students would need.
Video 15- This one discusses teaching children spelling using a computer software program which is interactive and keeps their attention and gives them clues to learn how to figure out their answers.
Website synopsis pg 79
Education World- Is a great website that has all kinds of helpful links and articles. it also has a section on integrating technology into your lesson planning and it also talks about school issues and many other topics.
English/language arts lesson plans and standards - This is also a wonderful site that has all the standards and has great book suggestions and resources and stores.
Teachers net - This was also another great website. It also contains lesson plan ideas, but more importantly it has news articles that are related to the field of education.
How Stuff Works Video Synopsis
How digital cameras work- The video that I looked at was about how to buy a digital camera. It had some god tips, but I felt like for me it wasn't super helpful. In defense of the video my mom does digital photography so I just ask her about whats good.
How Computers work- This was a much better video for me becuase I didn't know a lot about how computers work. I never really thought about it. I just figured I pushed the buttons and it did what I wanted. I never stopped to ask how it did that.

It is a practical guide to help you capitalize on effective instruction. The DID model stands for Dynamic Instructional Design. It is designed to allow flexibility and responsiveness in the instructional design process.
- What is the difference between formative and summative feedback?
Formative feedback is given during the process as everything is unfolding. Summative feedback is discussed at the end of the process.
- What is a performance objective and how does it differ from more generic objectives?
Performance objectives are specific skills or objectives a student will get from a lesson whereas generic objectives are non specific objectives they may or may not learn.

Level Three Application- This is where you apply what you have learned to everyday situations.
Level Four Analysis- This requires you to think outside the box and find the underlying meaning of what you have learned.
Level Five Synthesis- At this level you must create an original product based on what you learned.
Level Six Evaluation- At this level you should be forming your own opinions and judgments of what has been learned.
Pg. 126-127 Chapter review
1. Describe each of the four major components of the computing cycle.
First the computer takes in the data, meaning whatever you’re asking it to do or whatever you’re saving is the first step. Then it processes what you have told it. Then it saves the information. Lastly it sends information out to you.
2. What is the difference between hardware and software? Give an example of each.
Hardware is the physical touchable pieces of the computer like your keyboard. Software is the programs and applications you put on the computer like windows.
- What is the difference between memory and storage in a computer? Why are both necessary?
Computer memory is temporary space used by the computer to do short term tasks. Computer storage is a more permanent space where the computer saves data to use at a later time.
- Describe the role of the operating system. How does it help you interact with the computer?
The operating system is a collection of programs that tell it how to function and how to manage its own operations. It creates an interface between you and the computer so that you can tell the computer what you want it to do.
- What are the three different classes of application software? What different types of tasks does each perform?
There are utility programs which improve or monitor computer operations. There are administrative applications that are used like word-processing or grade book. Lastly there are academic applications such as tutorials and encyclopedias.
- What is the CPU and what is its role in the computer system?
The CPU is the central processing unit. Its role is to control all operations of the computer as well as process data as instructed by the user.
- Describe the difference between input and output devices. Give two examples of each.
Input devices are things you can use to enter data into the computer with such as the mouse or keyboard. Output devices are the pieces of hardware that move information out of the computer such as the monitor and the printer.
- What do you need to know about monitor resolution before purchasing a monitor? About printer resolution before buying a printer?
You need to know the resolution and pixels of your monitor as well as the monitor size and whether or not you want a normal monitor or an LCD. If you go with LCD then you need to know the DPI resolution or dots per square inch. When it comes to your printer you need to know if you want a laser, inkjet, or multi functional printer and the resolution of the printer.
- What is a computer virus and how is it transmitted? What can you do to protect your classroom?
A virus is a program written specifically to disrupt computer operations and/or destroy data. They are transmitted computer to computer by attaching themselves to normal files. You can protect your classroom by downloading antivirus programs.
- How do the following storage devices differ? Hard disk, floppy, removable disk, CD-Rom, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-RW.
Hard disk is magnetic storage on a hard disk with varying sizes and is permanently mounted into the computer and is known as the c drive. The floppy is a floppy Mylar disk that stores up to 1.44 megabytes and can be moved from computer to computer ad is placed on the A drive. A removable disk can be a USB flash drive or a removable hard drive they both normally plug into the USB port and are great for transferring large files and media. CD-ROM is an optical disk that has had information which has had microscopic pits burned into it and is read only. CD- R is burned onto once and read over and over again. CD-RW is rewritable and can be burned over and over again. A DVD is for media files such as movies and can be written once. A DVD-RW can record up to 2 hours.
- What is a network? What is the relationship between the server and workstations?
A network is a group of computers that share resources such as printers and internet. The server connects all of the workstations to the network.
- How are typical classrooms wired? What impact does this have on the learning environment?
They are wired like telephone cables and wires must be dropped into the classrooms through ceilings and walls which are very costly and therefore a classroom typically only has one station for the teacher and one for all the students. This affects the learning environment because you can’t effectively teach your students if they don’t all have access to the resources.
- How do bandwidth and transmission speed affect network communication?
The larger the bandwidth the more bits can go through the faster the speed and the faster you can transmit data.
- Describe the techniques used in networking to protect the privacy of an individual’s data and security of the network?
You must have a username and password and they also download firewalls to keep hackers out.
- Why is it advantageous for educators to share resources and programs on a network? What concerns are associated with program sharing?
It is good because it saves time and money the disadvantage is that if the network goes down none of them will have access.

Well a digital camera is instantaneous where as on a film camera you have to wait to develop your film to get your photos. With a digital camera it is very easy to transfer photos from one computer to another. I believe a digital camera is better because you can take photos and upload them right there in class.
