680 Artifact #2

Hello Class, For my second artifact I chose to display my Module 5 Assignment where I had to utilize a student engagement with technology feedback form that I made in a previous module.  It allowed me to visit two classrooms and learn how teachers I work with are using technology in their classrooms.  Not only did I learn about their use of tech, collaboration, and engagement strategies... but I also learned 2 new tech tools that I am going to use in class.  EdPuzzle is applicable to any classroom, and in my Anatomy class I can use the program Poke-a muscle next year! This project made me realize how valuable it is visiting other educators and how we can all grow as professionals if we put down the walls and learn from one another.  It also made me realize that although this tool will be useful to use as an educator, I never want to go in to administration.  This class as a whole helped me to finalize that decision!  I want to be in the classroom with...

Introductory Blog Post- Jim Nielsen

Hello class, My name is Jim Nielsen and I teach Biology and Anatomy at Waubonsie Valley High School. Teaching was a 3rd career change for me as I worked previously as a zookeeper at Brookfield Zoo, and did medical research at University of Chicago for 5 years as well.  I just completed my 11th year of teaching and truly get excited to come to work everyday and spend time talking about the study of Life with young adults.  The two courses I teach are extremely diverse in learning levels as I teach freshman co-taught biology and Senior Anatomy.  It really creates a fun challenge to create material that works for all learning levels.  Because of this challenge, and our districts move to 1:1 instruction next year, I decided to enroll in the Educational Technology courses at St. Francis. When students leave my classroom I want them to have a deeper appreciation for the natural world.  I also want them to understand that they are the caretakers of their one and on...

EEND 675 Module 3 Discussion

Hello Class, Wow, this week really made me think about how much I rely on technology not only to deliver my lessons, but also to organize my time here at school.  I thought about writing about my google site which houses all my lessons and a calendar for students to access but though everyone already knows about that tool.  I then thought about Mastery Manager which helps me not only deliver assessments but also helps me collect data and trends to reshape my future teaching but another student in our class covered that tool well.  I settled on a tool I use almost everyday in my class to communicate with my students called REMIND. Remind is an app/ website that does exactly what the name says.  It is a tool that gives the teacher the ability to "safely" contact all of their students, athletes, or even parents through kids most comfortable method of communication.... Text.  With remind, you are able to set up a class that students can join when given the pass ...
