EDTECH537 – End Of Course

Eight weeks ago I posted an entry entitled EDTECH537 – Blogging In The Classroom that described a course I have been teaching for the Department of Educational Technology at Boise State University this summer semester. During that time I have posted weekly messages to describe what I was asking the students to do and the readings I had assigned.

• Week 1
• Week 2
• Week 3
• Week 4
• Week 5
• Week 6
• Week 7

I have also posted entries for all of the activities I have asked of the students:

• Introductory Entry
• About Michael Barbour Page
• About VSM Page
• Blogroll
• Disclosure
• Blogging Plan

I have also posted sample blog entries for each of the different types of entries that I have asked of the students.

• Links Entry: Funding Virtual Schools – California Edition
• List Entry: What Makes Effective Professional Development?
• Discussion Entry: Are Virtual Schools Really An Answer?
• Commentary Entry: Marketing Cyber Schooling
• Guest Blog Entry: Why Teachers NEED Twitter
• Image Entry: Infographic – Growth of K-12 Online Education
• Audio Entry: Virtual Schools Bring Real Concerns About Quality
• Video Entry: What I Really Do At Virtual School
• Poll Entry: Would You Send Your Child To Virtual School?
• Commentary Entry: What Theory Fits A Comparison Of Virtual And F2F Learning Enviroments?
• Image Entry: Ten Things Everyone Should Know About K-12 Students’ Digital Learning

Finally, during Week 5 I asked the students to participate in blogging in three different formats (and posted a sample entry for one of those):

• Examining Generational Differences
• Generational Differences Entry
• Potential Hazards Of Blogging
• Impressions of Russell Street School

This year I also made a point of highlighting things in the monthly statistics entries for my EDTECH537 students.

• Statistics for July 2015

I always post this summary message for those folks who haven’t been following along for the past seven weeks, as I suspect this will be the closest I ever get to one of those # days to a better blog series.
