Additional Information:
Jeff Sale:
A mashup, according to Google, is "a Web site that combines content
data from more than one source to create a new user experience". This
session will introduce mashups to K-12 educators focusing on
collaborative approaches to mashup creation in a variety of disciplines
including science, politics, society, art, and history. We will
demonstrate how students from different parts of the world can work
together to create mashups that help them learn about other communities
and cultures, with an emphasis on map-based mashups that are very
accessible to teachers and their students. The process by which
students can work together to create a group-based geo-referenced image
mashup with be shown in detail. More sophisticated and even some
entertaining mashups as well as mashup authoring tools will be
introduced, and links to a fuller introduction to these tools will be
provided. Applications to be demonstrated include Google Earth, the
Google Mashups Editor, and Microsoft Popfly. Participants will attain a
basic understanding of mashup development technologies, examples of
mashups useful in education, collaborative tools used to support mashup
creation, and they will be provided with an account on the SDSC
Discover Data Portal, a collaborative education portal built with
Moodle, to continue their mashup explorations following the workshop.
Bonnie Thurber: Cyber Learning for All Students in the iCollaboratory.
Bonnie will show examples of a variety of student work including
stories, essays, poetry, voice-messages and videos using a variety of
internet based tools that are linked together and shared in the
iCollaboratory. She will also talk about the participants and
participations and how audience members can be involved. Students in
these projects are from all over and have a wide variety of skills from
ADD, BD, ESL and gifted and they are all sharing what they can write,
say via voice or video.
Aaron Doering (presenter in national and international conferences):
will speak about online adventure learning environments, online
scaffolding environments, and online community-building environments.
