Embedding a edu.glogster.com poster into your wikispaces.com wiki
The instructions for embedding a edu.glogster.com poster into your wiki in wikispaces.com follow.

You will first need to get the "embed" code from your edu.glogster.com poster.

To get the code do the following:

1.  Sign in to edu.glogster.com.

2.  From your Dashboard, click on "View My Profile" and view your poster by clicking on the link directly under the smaller version of the poster.  Once you click on the link you should see a full version of the poster.

3. Click on the "edit your glog" link on the upper right-hand side of your screen and then press the "Save and Publish" button on the upper left-hand side of the screen (this is simply done to get to the screen that has the embed code).  Then press the "Save" button on the lower left-hand side of the save window.

4.  At this point, you should see an "Embed Code" field towards the bottom of the "What Next" window.  Click on the text in the "Embed Code" field.  This will select all the text and copy the code to the memory of the computer--once the code is copied to the computer's memory you will see the word "copied" on the screen in a yellow textbox.  This indicates that the code has been copied. 

(Note: the Embed Code will create a link between your wiki and the page where your edu.glogsger.com poster is posted).  This code, once pasted into your wiki, will allow the edu.glogster.com poster to be viewed within your wiki...it actually works really well. 

I know this sounds complicated, but you will get the hang of it once you try it.

Once you get the Embed Code for your poster, then all you need to do within your wiki is the following:

1.  Sign into your wikispace account (http://wikispaces.com).

2.  Navigate to the page where you want to embed the code

3.  Click the edit tab (to edit the page).

4.  With your mouse, click on the location where you want your poster to be embedded in your wiki.  Then, click the Widget button on the Editor iconbar.

5.  Click on the "Other HTML" link on the bottom of the widgets menubar.

6.  Paste the embed code into the field.

7.  Click "Save" to exit the Widget part of the editor system.

9.  Click "Preview" to see how the poser looks and make sure that it is placed in the appropriate location. Either click "Continue Editing" to continue working on the wiki or click "Save" to complete the editing process.

Week 3

Everyone lived through the first 2 weeks! We had a few "bugs" to work out. Some had a problem with submitting files on the assignment page. We were able to find a solution in every case and will continue to solve problems. I hope that you will find the reading in Chapters 3 and 4 fascinating. Keep in mind that you will be using the same learning theories with a different delivery method. Integrating technology will provide "more tools in the toolbox". In the long run, mastering these strategies will make your job easier and your students more successful.

Week 2

Through the years, I have taught History and Philosophy of Education. Chapter 2 provides an excellent overview of the theories underlying inquiry-based technology integration strategies. You are familiar with these theories, and I encourage you to
"think outside the box" in considering how technology encompasses these theories. Certainly, technology can be applied to differentiated instruction as children learn from a variety of methods. The application of technology is certainly a way to reach a child who has difficulty learning from traditional instruction.

Week 1

I know that many of you have experienced apprehension and some frustration with this class. However, I think that you are doing very well. As you have read through Chapter 1, I
am certain that you realize that technology for educators is not the "wave of the future"; it is
now! We are riding the waves and have the choice of "surfin" or drowning. Many of you commented that you wanted to "keep up with your students". These comments came from first grade teachers through high school. Jump in! The water if fine.
