Are you getting comfortable with embedding code?
Before working on 23 Things I had never even noticed embedding codes or used them in any way so that has been a great learning experience.
Do you belong to other online communities? Are relationships formed online as meaningful as face-to-face relationships?
I do belong to other online communities but mainly in order to keep in touch with friends and family. So those relationships were not formed online but are sometimes maintained online. I think that online relationships, depending upon their nature, can be as meaningful as those that are face-to-face. For example, students sharing with a class in another country, people sharing recipes or other cooking tips, discussing sports topics, etc. can be very interesting and fun ways to engage students or adults. I suppose more serious or intimate relationships could be initiated online but not maintained in a healthy way.

But look! You already have viewers from the Southwestern US, and southeast Asia! Embed code is awesome! We love it in Moodle for adding content to online courses. Your Wildlife Widget is a great choice. Everytime I visit a page on your site there is a different animal highlighted. Students will love this!
ReplyDeleteI do think students would really dig this widget (I sound like a complete dork after writing that!). But, really, it would be cool for students to have a connection with other classrooms around the world and then get to see that visually on a map. That might make our classroom not seem quite so out of touch with the real, global community that we live in now.
