Meme: Passion Quilt
February 13, 2008 | | Leave a Comment
Thanks to my friend the looneyhiker@twitter for tagging me this cool Passion Quilt meme.
Linking Other Cultures to the Flat World We Reside
I found this picture in Flickr and wondered about their life and their histories. I like to use my imagination when looking at pictures out of context and try to imagine a story. I think this is a good practice with students to imagine and then to ask questions. These questions get lead to great research project, great discussions, and passionate writing. What a project to use in Voice Threads have student to blog their thoughts about the picture using a microphone. We need to find ways to create students passions to learn, think, and imagine. Pictures have many stories depending on the viewers and creator’s perspective. Learning is fun and we need to show our students this. These side pedagogy tools are awesome!

Bill, right now I am passionate about teaching my teachers and mainly get to test students- so I will have to pass on the quilt thing- but I did find your jan, podcast test, and am wondering what tools you may have used- I am wanting to try this with a teacher but with video, maybe a simple webcam to try it out- I am thinking I will need to save it and then upload it- I have no clue about “hosting sites” and think for my purposes this will do. There are so many security issues with kids that it is laborious to post anything that shows the students without someone pushing the panic button- but I won’t give up!

Dear Paula,
I am still not totally comfortable with podcasting. I use audacity and a microphone. For the podcast in a recent blog I use my Ipod to record and transfered to my computer and edited with Audacity. The hard part was getting it to my website. There had to be an easier way. I uploaded through the back door to this website. It was cumbersome. When I have some more time,I am will research it and I will let you know what I discover.
I have been experimenting with a web cam and using it with Skype and UStream TV. Are you on Skype yet? I would like to set up an online tech conference. Last Sunday night Pat the LooneyHiker had a great chat. We hope to do it again soon.
Thanks for following me.
