Wk4 Udutu Project - Collins_Tamara

Click here to go to my UDUTU.


I decided to create a writing course for 6th grade students. The UDUTU goes through the six steps of the writing process. You can click on the watermark to make it go away.

I really enjoyed this project because this is something I could truly use in the classroom. This year we have a ton of new teachers whom have never taught before, so I figured with a bit more tweaking I can modify it to make it completely fit our students. The new teachers can get an idea on how we teach the writing process.

Week 4 LMO Comments for Justin Kraky

"For my UDUTU lesson, I chose a project created in Musical Theory and Educational Applications. This lesson was designed for the Advanced Audio Production class at Keystone College, and teaches audio physics principles and terminology."

Justin,

Beautiful job on your UDUTU! It was clean, easy to follow and interesting. This is something I would love to your show some of our high school students. This is the type of lesson that can easily be shown as an opening to a Unit Plan.

Week 4 LMO - Collins, Tamara_Wimba Session Notes

First and foremost I want to say the LMO class has been incredibly beneficial to my Action Research project. It has given the information necessary to become familiar with online learning and its future.

Joe, in the Wimba session you said that we should be careful that we don't make the UDUTU or videos so long that the student becomes disengaged. That was exactly my thought. I was concerned about this because initially I thought I would create the UDUTU for the writing process as an additional resource to be used at home, but then I decided that it could be used in the computer lab as an opening lesson and an initial run through for them.

Another thing that stood out for me in the Wimba session was the point of completing the project in its entirety. You are correct in saying that if the project is not completely done I probably will not complete it later. I would say that I can see myself tweaking this to meet the needs of the students at my school, personalizing it for them to allow them to grasp the material.

Week 4 LMO Comments for Sharon Jones

"As we begin a new school year, it is my task train the new teachers on the use of our LMO, Edline and GradeQuickWeb. Due to some major cutbacks in staffing this year, everyone is covering more classes and extra curricular duties, making the scheduling of training very difficult."

Sharon,

I really like how detailed your UDUTU project is. You really give the learner all of the information necessary to be successful. I also like the assessment you used to see if the learner is grasping the content. My favorite of your UDUTU is the part where you ask the learner to place the steps of the GradeQuickPro in the proper order.

Very nice job!

Week 4 LMO Comments for Erica Culbreath

"I must admit, I have wanted to check out Udutu for at least a year. I remember stumbling upon it as I was googling open source applications. Of course, I sent the link to all of my instructional designer friends as I was so amped about this free tool. I figured we could work with Udutu during our free time. While no one I know seriously has free time, I was glad to come into month 10 to work with Udutu. Somehow I started with a very basic concept but ended with plenty of detail, as I continued to add more and more slides and ideas to the module."

Erica,

You did a very nice job on your UDUTU. It was very well put together and easy to follow. This is something I would most definitely recommend teachers use in the high school classroom.

It seems that many of us begin with a simple concept, but end up adding a lot of details the more into we get.

LMO Week 3 Comments for Joseph Andrieux

“The cost for the LMS can range from $250,000 to $1 million based on hardware being replaced and most importantly support and training to be provided to the school's staff and student body.”


Joseph,

The cost for LMS is staggering, but what I am most fascinated sometimes with is the fact that many times educational institutions do not provide the adequate training for staff and students. It’s always amazing how even in some schools where the money is a available for great technology administrators fail to hire the person who would keep abreast of new technology and trains the teacher in using the software and hardware effectively within their curriculum.
