Module 3
URL’s
URL’s can give
you information about the web page. The
last three letters in the URL will tell us what type of website it is. According
to Roblyer and Doering (2013) ”The most common designations are: .com
Commercial site, .Gov Government, .net Network, internet service providers,
.edu Higher education institutions, and .org non-commercial organizations.” (page
216). The optional subdomain will tell you what part of a large organization
you are visiting.
Search Engines
Search engines
can help my students find better information buy bringing a large number of
websites to one place. Students looking
for images of a swimming dolphin can type the key words in to Google and they
will find 6,390,000 results in one place.
Internet Tool
I believe that
e-portfolio would be a great addition to my classroom.
Roblyer and
Doering (2013) explain “e-Portfolios are
websites created by students to showcase their work and organize, revise, and
store digital assets they have created inside and outside the class room.”(page
224) This website would allow my students to store and explain the artwork they
create throughout the year. Students could showcase their portfolio to
perspective universities or employees on this site.
Web-Based Lesson
Electronic Publishing
I would use
Thinkquest to allow students to access their art history projects and document
their art history research. Students will document their artwork in multiple
stages. Allowing them to self evaluates
their work and identify positive and negative changes. Roblyer and Doering (2013) feel that, “Many sites provide
access to data, images that help students understand complex problems and guide
them in creating their own solution.”

Favorite Website
My favorite
website is The Louvre Museum Official Website. Roblyer and Doering (2013) explain, “Good visually design pages
are designed for good readability and aesthetics. “ (page 225) This website
delivers on both. It looks beautiful and is easy to navigate. Roblyer and Doering (2013) also believe “It should be very clear
how a user can find the content they are looking for on the website.” (page
225) This webpage is very clearly designed. At the top and just below the main image that
there are tabs. This site would benefit my class while studying art history. There are images of artwork as well as
informative videos of artwork that explain the art and its history.
This website is
one of my favorites because of its ease of use.
You can see your student’s grades at a glance. On page 254 of Integrating Educational Technology into Teaching,
Roblyer and Doering explain the importance of easy navigation. This web site has very clear tabs on the left
hand side. To make it even easier, they
created an app for RenWeb. Bradsaw
(2011) says, “Many universities; K-12 schools and institutions are selecting
the ipad and ipod touch as the platform of choice for face-to-face and distance
education classrooms.” (Page 229) Parents literally will have all class
information at there fingertips.

When I am looking for information Google is the first place I look. Google,Yahoo. Bing are some of the most popular searching engines according to search engine watch.(Roblyer Doering 219)
ReplyDeleteI found that I learned information about the URLs that I didn't know before. Some of it seems as though basic information but when discovering that every aspect of a URL stands for something specific it exemplifies that complexity of the world web. The URL identifies with the fact that it is a search online, what organization or person the site is about, and the domain designator of whom is operating such site (Roblyer, Doering 217).
ReplyDeleteFrom looking through the website, e-Portfolio.com looks more complicated than a blog. However, according to Roblyer and Doering (2012), e-Portfolio has a cleaner, more organized and professional design, as well as in the nature of the content. How would you compare the two?
ReplyDeleteI think the best thing I learned in this chapter was about the URL's. You pointed it out in your blog post that you can gain so much information about a website through the URL. Like our book suggest if you can learn to locate URL's and read them, you will become much more successfull in finding valuable information on the internet (Roblyer and Doering, 2013, p. 217).
ReplyDeleteThe Louver Museum Official Website was very enjoyable. I felt the website was an excellent example of simplicity and easy navigation (Roblyn, 225). Renweb seems like a very easily accessed site for student’s grades and also easily navigable (Roblyn, 225). My old high school gives every student Ipads at the beginning of each school year so without a doubt it’s definitely becoming a key part of education.
ReplyDeleteE-portfolios would be great for an art classroom. You should also look into photo-sharing sites where students can share images of their work. Roblyer & Doering (2013) say, “Online viewers can comment on the videos and photos, tag (i.e., provide keywords) the content for increased searchability, and rate the quality of content or artistic vision of the user-generated media” (p. 225).
