Education at Drexel Takes Its Toll
Current mood:tired

Hey my peeps! I made a website and a video podcast multimedia project and posted them! It was a great experience to make a vodcast, and now I know how to make one ten times faster. This is good, because I desperately need sleep after staying up til 5am a few nights here and there. Now I'm tired and sad. Me needs a nappie!

My video podcast (vodcast) is up! I posted it at Teacher Tube.
It turned out pretty good. It will teach you about why astronomers look through telescopes and you'll learn about Galileo and the moons of Jupiter!!! Oh, I KNOW you're excited!!!!! As excited as I am!

I made a website project for a class too. It's very basic, but here it is if you want to take a look around. It's all about sunspots and how they can affect us humans on the Earth historically and currently.

(Sadly, geocities is no longer around. Maybe I'll have to find another way to post my materials that I had on this site. I think I still have the original files.)
IT'S NEVER FUNNY IN THE MORNING!!!

Danelle's Educational Podcast - Astronomy-heavy

In an assignment a few quarters back (about a year ago I'm realizing) I had to make an educational video podcast all by myself. In the class we focused on Constructivist Learning Theory, and we had to purchase the expensive and hefty Cambridge Handbook of the Learning Sciences. You may have noticed that I used it as a source in my previous post - Classroom wikis. I figured I paid enough darn $$$ for it that it might as well serve a purpose outside of that other class.

Anyway, making the podcast was really fun! It took a lot of time, but I know how to make one about five times faster, so that's always the bonus of learning how to use the technology... finding short-cuts and making things more efficient later.

My podcast is on authentic practice and using data sets to make conclusions. I used the wonderful CLEA software to get data on the rotational orbits of Jupiter's Moons. Good old Galileo. He first spotted the four largest moons - aptly called Galilean moons - and also noticed the "ears" (rings, actually) of Saturn.

Okay, enough intro, here's the link to the podcast. You can find it at Teachertube.com, like YouTube, for Teachers. "Ya know, for kids!" - Hudsucker Proxy
BEWARE! It is kinda lengthy, somewhere around 20 minutes.
