Mobile Learning

Advantages

Instructors can incorporate multimedia
demonstrations in their lecturers and
receive real-time feedback from their
students using quizzes or surveys

Learning can be done anytime and
anywhere.
Supports continuous learning.
Able to collaborate with instructor’s notebook during class.

Disavantages

Small screens limit the amount and type of information that can be displayed.
There are limited storage capacities for mobiles and PDAs.
Bandwidth may degrade with large number
of users.
PDA’s and mobile phones are less robust than desktops.

Yes I feel that this website would be reliable, credible source of information.
This is a good website for the children. Its very knowledgable its accurate and the purpose is fulfilled. Teaches children how to tell time.I feel that this is a good website for the unit plan.

Delicous Account

Setting up my delious account was pretty easy. I had one before, the only thing I am having trouble with is I added 3 bookmarks the assignment saids we had to do 5. Why it is only allowing me to do 3 I have no idea. When I began to tag it EDU271, it has a "x" there and it want let me save it. I dont know what the proble with that is but I did 3.

Stages of the Instructional Cycle

1.) Fetch the instruction from memory.
2.) "Decode" the instruction.
3.) "Read the effective address" from memory if the instruction has an indirect address.
4.) "Execute" the instruction.

Three Components of Good Assessment

Name three components of a good assessment:


I found five at     www.sedl.org

• Clear and Appropriate Learning Targets
• Clearly Focused and Appropriate Purpose
• Appropriate Match among Targets, Purposes, and Method of Assessment
• Sufficient Sampling of Student Work to Make Sound Inferences about Learning
• Fairness and Freedom from Biases that Distort the Picture of Learning

Contents of Standard & Benchmark

What are the Content Standard and Benchmark and how are they used?

Content Standard

Expectations about what the child should know and be able to do in different subjects and grade levels; defines expected student skills and knowledge and what schools should teach.

Benchmark

Levels of academic performance used as checkpoints to monitor progress toward performance goals and/or academic standards.

In computing, a benchmark is the act of running a computer program, a set of programs, or other operations, in order to assess the relative performance of an object, normally by running a number of standard tests and trials against it. The term 'benchmark' is also mostly utilized for the purposes of elaborately-designed benchmarking programs themselves.

Benchmarking is usually associated with assessing performance characteristics of computer hardware, for example, the floating point operation performance of a CPU, but there are circumstances when the technique is also applicable to software. Software benchmarks are, for example, run against compilers or database management systems.

How are they used?

A benchmark test used to compare performance of hardware and/or software. Many trade magazines have developed their own benchmark tests, which they use when reviewing a class of products. When comparing benchmark results, it is important to know exactly what the benchmarks are designed to test. A benchmark that tests graphics speed, for example, may be irrelevant to you if the type of graphical applications you use are different from those used in the test.

Content Standard  are broad statements that identify the knowledge and skills that students should acquire and they remain constant throughout k-12.

GROUP COLLABORATION AND PROBLEM-SOLVING

What did you enjoy most/least about getting to know your group members? 
What I enjoyed was finding out the difference in everyone. Sound like every one is in the group assignment ready to work and get the group work done.

What are some problem-solving techniques you learned this week related to working with your group members? Just working together and not pulling apart.
Group Collaboration Work is all about team work and pulling together. Everyone has a specfic part that they play in the group activity, it just takes hard work and commitment in doing the assignment.

 How did you learn them?
By associating with the group.
