Google Reader.
You have already set up a Google Reader and added everyone's blogs to it. I STRONGLY suggest either setting up the google reader as your home page. Directions here. OR you could create an iGoogle page. iGoogle will allow you to have your google reader as well as other apps such a time, facebook, joke of the day, calendar reminders and weather all on the same page which can be set as your homepage. Directions here.

There is a discussion tab for this week. Please share your ideas, opinions and comments about the above video, article and graphic.
Vodcasts
Some students are very familiar with vodcasting and need very little assistance. Others have never used the programs and need LOTS of help. It is your responsibility to let me know if you need help. I would be happy to help you.
Your first Vodcast assignment is to research a specific intelligences and share with the class what you learned. Below is a list of who is assigned what intelligence. Of course, I have tried to match you up with a weakness you may have as an intelligence. If you did not complete your quiz on time, you may not have your weakest intelligence.
Ruby Overview of the Multiple Intelligences
Vicki Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"):
Amy Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number smart")
Mara Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
Martha Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
David Musical intelligence ("music smart")
John-Henry Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
Cecilia Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
Kristan Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")
Jesus Overview of Bloom's Taxonomy
I am assuming everyone is comfortable with the movie making software on their computers to begin. You have Windows Movie Maker on a PC and iMovie on a Mac.
If I am wrong, please let me know. Please feel free to ask for help when needed.
Your assignment is to create a vodcast to teach the class about the particular intelligence you have been assigned. To begin, research your intelligence. The internet has plenty of information. I need a definition and skills related to this intelligence, examples of teaching and learning best suited for this intelligence, examples of technology that could be used to address this intelligence. You could also include famous people who represented this kind of intelligence or possible careers suited to this intelligence. As you read and research, also include anything you find interesting that you would like to share.
Once you have gathered you information, create a script. It is helpful to record you voice in sections where you believe you will have a picture change.
Collect photos and/or videos as well as music for your vodcast (a vodcast is really just a super impressive slideshow! )
When your vodcast is complete, you can post it on your website/blog. If you have used weebly’s free version as I do, you will need to post your vodcast to YouTube and then link the YouTube video to your page. It is very simple to create a YouTube account, but call me if you need help. Please post it to your website/blog no later than Saturday, December 4th by midnight. Once your video is posted on your blog, everyone should have access to it using Google Reader. Next week, we will need to watch and comment on a video from each intelligence. Please be aware ... if you do not complete your assignment in a timely manner, others will not be able to watch and comment next week.
Please remember YouTube will not accept a video with copyrighted materials. If you need help finding music and pictures you can use, please look to the following sites.
Music which is legal to use is available from these sites:

> http://incompetech.com/
> http://freepd.com/
> http://www.jamendo.com/
Pictures

> http://classroomclipart.com/
> http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/
Please feel free to view any of the videos on our facebook page from previous classes. I would suggest you take a look at a few of them and not just the one related to your assignment to compare quality. (Not every video received an A)
Upcoming Assignments
Due Dec 18– Bloom/Gardner Grid
Template and Sample can be found on last week's blog. Choose a unit of study that is broad enough to think of many activities to teach. If you have already decided on a capstone, use that topic. Fill in the squares using an activity that meets both the multiple intelligence and the level of Bloom’s Taxonomy in which it intersects. A sample has been provided on last week's blog. I expect 90% or more of the grid to be completed. It should be saved as "Grid Your Name Fall2”. You will post it on your blog and email it to me by Dec. 18th (midnight).
