Glogs

I’m not teaching any classes but these are three glogs I thought might come in handy... media type="custom" key="13195258" The glog above focuses on plagiarism. It is obviously something that should be covered in all classes. I think that the content and links I included will be useful for older students. I was happy to see several videos on SchoolTube! I have several videos from Films On Demand that I wanted to link to but didn’t know if they would show up. I honestly feel like I covered my bases here. I technically defined plagiarism, connected to a high school policy (hopefully I will be able to find one for the school I someday am hired to work at), and included links to citation creators. I definitely see myself having to tweak this glog in the future; the paraphrasing video was not my favorite.

I think teachers and students will find a glog like this useful. Like I said before, I would without a doubt need to tweak this, but I think that this would be a simple way of informing students and teachers of the dangers of plagiarizing. This is a concept that could be divided into many pathfinders, but in this format makes a “blah” subject easy to understand.

media type="custom" key="13195300" The second glog has a College Prep focus. I chose this because I thought it might be useful in to all students. Though I feel like I wanted to do more with it, I couldn’t bring myself to add anymore; I wanted to avoid clutter. I feel like any one of the sections I chose to link to could have been a pathfinder all on their own. I can see a glog like this being a perfect replacement for a pathfinder on the subject. I think students and teachers can use the information. In fact, in this format the information seems easy to understand. I think the problem is the Web sites I linked to; some government sites are bulky.

media type="custom" key="13195372" The third glog focuses on math games for 5th graders. I went with this topic because I had collected some information about the games included for a different assignment and thought this would be a great opportunity to transform those findings into something I could share will colleagues. I think that teachers might appreciate an interactive page where they can refer their students to through the library Web site instead of having them surf the web. If students, parents, and teachers can get to their favorite educational games through the library Web page, then they will most likely go there to find more… perhaps they will think their library is cool at a young age and turn to them first (before Wikipedia).
