Technology
(38 Uses) |
Other
(19 Uses) /
(8 Not Useful) |
-
Perhaps as a tool for customized training
- If
I ever teach any ESL Oral Communication classes again, I'll use
video in the classroom for self- and peer- evaluation work. (3)
- I
will consider adding image content to my ACC course websites.
- I
will create quizzes during the next semester to provide students
a way to better prepare themsevles
- Not
sure that Hot Potatoes will meet our department needs at this
time so not sure I will use it. Might use it for the quizzes and
crossword puzzle maker
- PTHA
1513 Syllabus, calendar and all powerpoint lecture notes to be
placed on Blackboard. Also would like to set up a discussion group
between students and faculty to assist with transference of learning
from lecture to lab.
- Interested
in streaming "how to's" and other tutorials.
- Use
digital stills for demo purposes for instructors/students.
- Would
like to stream video tutorials but would need content produced.
- Stills
for how to slide shows for instructors/students
- In
the Fall I wish to convert all of my study questions for Phlebotomy
to this format. They will submit the answers online then get immediate
feedback on what the correct answers are. I will not longer grade
theses assignments, they will be P/F.
- This
is actually the workshop that has prepared me to intiate individual
dialogue with my students ... not the media merger one ... For
that one I will have to work with making recordings and/or video
to make full use of the new technology I have learned and I expect
that will take me some time.
- I
will (try to) use what I learned to put text on digital pictures
that I take of the children at the lab school.
- I
will use what I learned to initiate an individual "get to know
you" dialogue with each of my students at the beginning of the
semester. This will help me to decrease anxiety associated with
foreign language study while also assessing the techno -phobia
and/or -expertise of my students
- Provides
methodology for making information interesting for our students.
- Provides
additional venues for our students
- Will
put my PCM class onto Blackboard.
- Good
idea to make a button on the homepage for orientation. I will
add an announcment about how to get free email and make entering
email a graded activity to encourage students to do it.
- Showing
students in class how they can get information through the library
website.
- I
will add Flash to current class Web pages to stimulate learning.
- I
plan to add video to some current class Web pages to stimulate
the learning process.
- Answer
student questions re on line courses
- Use
Blackboard to supplement instruction, develop interactive exercises
and assessments for students
- I
will use references and URL's provided in the development of a
technology skills self-assessment tool and links to online tutorials
for Distance Learning students in the Fall 2004 semester.
update my web site
- I
will include references and web sites discussed in workshop hile
developing a technology skills self-assessment tool linked to
online tutorials for Distance Learning students during the Fall
2004 semester.
- update
my web site (4)
-
Assessment with blackboard course and surveys
-
Add a different type of assessment activity to blackboard course
-
I will use this information to create video vingettes of the lab
school
- add
streaming video to my on-line class
- I
will share what I learned with students
- I
will place syllabi and schedule of one course and include several
learning activies for that course.
- I
will creat my own Black Board so that I can use the knowledge
acquired here.
- will
help students locate electronic materials for research projects
- help
students locate materials on the internet
- I
will incorporate digital photos into 2 course lectures.
- Learned
much more about the underlying digital information of pixels,
displays and formats. I use cameras all the time in documenting
children at work and at play.
- I
will experiment with the Hot Potatoes program to create interactive
language practice for Spanish students. Eventually I plan to put
my "creations" on a Blackboard site, or find another way to make
these exercises available to my students.
- i
will contact ids directly to get more detailed info about how
to start developing my ideas. i must have example before i can
ask my department to let me pilot a hybid course.
- I
can access new research to include in lectures
- I
will adopt the three-step process in designing a project for my
economics students. I did not realize how much planning goes into
a 10 min video presentation. I appreciate your presentation a
lot.
- I
will shoot some videos at the the next Economics conference and
use them as clips in my class.
- help
students use library resources
- Learning
about Flash is another tool to use to help students learn.
- I
am going to conduct a hybrid course in the fall.
- To
create interactive quizzing -- using the template for multiple
choice that staff is creating.
- I
don't know for sure. From my stand point these things need to
be looked at very carefuly with only improved student learning
as the ONLY objective. I owe it to my students, my department
and myself to keep looking at the advances made in integrating
electronic communication techniques into teaching. I intend to
survey my students this semester to gauge their interest into
web-based teaching tools. I am not sure about any plans to integrate
this into my teaching this year.
- I
will utilize the skills I learned to update web pages and create
interactive exercises. For example, in Immunohematology or Serology
I will take pictures of tubes or slides with reactions, the student
will mouse over the tubes to get the correct interpretation using
the "hot spots". For my Phlebotomy course I can have a picture
of an arm with the veins visible, the student can mouse over the
veins to see the names.

me understand how to use a particular tool to do something I had
been doing by hand.
- Gave
me shortcut to coding a new type of resource I can employ.
- Will
shorten the time I currently spend coding certain elements into
my web pages.
- I
will visit the media lab for more guidance this fall and I will
enroll in a similar course to enhance my uderstanding of digital
cameras.
- I
had already heard about Hot Potatoes software and had downloaded
and looked at it. The software will not do all I need it to do,
but I thought maybe a newer version might be better.Continue learning
Dreamweaver
- This
will help me to apply my own software tools to edit pictures at
work.
- This
was a fact finding class for me. I am an Admin. Assist. This class
was presented for teacher/pupil settings; however, I learned something
from the information the was shared. Thank you for the class.
|
- I
will probably use this program to create a survey to be filled

was interesting. I don't think I will be able to utilize this
product in my job, but I can certainly use the web site as a resource
for examples that I can apply to my own forms and surveys.
- I
will (with more review) use this class.
- to
critic IVC courses

will need to have more information and practice to utilize this
information.
- I
was in the session to observe other participants interaction with
the material and to get ideas for improvement to navigation to
the materials.
- Brought
new insight to something I have been doing a short while
- I
will register for additional workshops in this field in the fall
- I
will register for a class or owrkshop with the presenter this
fall

| Suggestions
relating to this session |
- Repeat
popular sessions more often. Convert to online format as much as possible.
You are doing a fabulous job!!!
- What is
offered is wonderful! And I really appreciate the follow-up support
of the presenters with whom I have worked when I get to the implementation
phase after taking a workshop! THANKS!!!Very helpful.
- S/He is
not a good public speaker.
- Too short
for the amount of info. Glad to know that we have cameras for checkout.
- Final
Cut Pro or Final Cut Express video hands on editing.
- Digital
video could definitely be a longer session.
- Could
be a hair longer.
- Mention
the cross platform nature of most of this equipment. Mac/Win etc.
- The session
was too short for the amount of material covered; it would have been
helpful to have more time (1.5 hours?)
- The session
was very informative, as all attendees were able to address their concerns
and questions.
- It was
extremely helpful to be able to discuss these topics with other Blackboard
users as well as with staff. I'd suggest offering these round table
discussions on a regular basis out at the campuses with the instructional
designers to provide a structure for on-going topics to be addressed,
as well as to keep informed on new developments.
- Clarify
the description in the workshop database.
- S/He did
a superb job, as always. S/He is an extremely gifted teacher & superb
instructional design profesional. The session was most informative and
beneficial. Keep up the great work!
- I wish
there could of been more instructors, I think it would of been very
useful to hear what was said and give their own issues with the IVC.
- This was
good, S/He gave us lots of examples and let us look through them and
try to come up with what we liked or disliked about them. The various
examples also showed all the kinds of ways streaming media can be used,
I don't think all the instructors even realized how much can be done
with it.
- The woman
next to me (not sure if anyone else had issues) kept getting lost and
confused. I am unsure if she had ever used Dreamweaver before. Perhaps
staff could of asked if people were caught up.
- I almost
didn't go to this one because I had already learned how to make forms
in Dreamweaver.
- No time
for activity. We were shown lots of amazing creations, but barely saw
any created by ACC. Would ACC be able to create sites like the the ones
s/he showed us? S/he probably needed to go over, more in-depth, of how
an instuctor can get something like that started, who they would contact
and the amount of work it takes to create something like that.
- Perhaps
suggest why the premade Flash buttons aren't always the best thing to
use and show how you can get an effect using a rollover (as a button).
Show some of the innovative ways others have used simple image maps
or rollover other than to make their site pretty...like with the rollover
- have a picture that poses a question and the answer appears when you
roll over it.
- The flash
pages we looked at were great and evidently took teams of people to
create. That discourages me from pursuing flash. I need more simple
community college examples.
- S/He had
a lot of good ideas. It was useful.
- Room
too cold. Didn't finish on time.
- Room was
too cold. Started on time, but didn't stop on time. Need a break between
sessions.
- More
time for training
- Handouts
could be substantially improved so that participants would at least
have reference materials for later review
- Suggest
types of additional training in this area that might be helpful
- I'd like
to see this class offered in a 3 hour mode instead of 50 minutes.
- I misunderstood
that I can take this workshop anytime Friday to Sunday. It turned out
that I cannot do everything in one day.
- this
presentation was well assembled and presented.
- Not under
our control but the room was not conducive to having an assistant help
slower learners while the instructor continued with the rest of the
class.
- None.
An excellent presenter
- None.
S/He demonstrated s/he is not only an expert in his filed but also an
excellent teacher/presenter.
- Well presented.
The presenter allowed us to experience the cameras and ask responded
to individual questions very well
- Need more
time to be exposed to more techniques
- Need more
time to let each particpant plan and design a project in his /her discipline
- The workshop
should be an hour and a half so as to let the participants try their
hands at shooting a
- video
- finish
on time
- prepare
ahead of time
- stay on
topic
- Better
presentation equipment because the screen was impossible to read--it
had purple spots all over it.
- The session
was well run and informative. It lacked the the evidence that this style
of teaching is effective. This could be due to the fact that it is new
and few people are using it.
- text in
presentation and leaflet was too small and hard to read.
- None.
Whenever you do a workshop with "live" technology glitches will occur.
I've been around long enough that I don't hold it against the presenter.
Without the hands-on experience utilized in this workshop the session
would have been very ineffective.
- I would
like to use this information but the session went way too fast and I
was lost. The instructor kept saying s/he would help lost people catch
up, but s/he did not.
- There
were way too many people in the class and some had to sit at the back
of the room. There was only limited opportunity to examine the college
cameras, and those who owned cameras (as I do) never really got a chance
to understand the functions -- all was geared towards the ACC check-out
cameras.
- The sessions
could be a little longer due to the massive amount of info involved.
- You are
doing a good job now.
- Too tired
to think of any right now, these sessions were GREAT! Offer them again
and give more advanced warning. I do not recall seeing anything about
these offerings until last week.
- I keep
my eye on the offered workshops. When something is offered that is useful
to me, I attend it. One problem is many of these are offered on weekedays
when I have classes.
- I have
no suggestions. I already wish I had more time to take more of what
is currently offered!
- It would
be nice to have this set up as an online experience.
- It would
be nice for something like this to be available as an online training
experience.
- More of
the same (x4)
- More of
these one day interrelated workshops are convenient for faculty members
who are unable to attend during the regular semester (x6)
- More online
classes
