Week 3 Comment on Colette Ishizaki's Blog Entry

Colette,

I am also working on digital filmmaking in my action research. I have been well received not only by students, but staff as well. I have begun collaborating with other teachers and subjects creating short films within the school. It's truly been a great experience. I'm curious to see the stories created by your fifth grade students and how they differ from those made by my high school students!

2. My lesson will will involve art students in the 11th and 12th grade on a lesson in digital story telling.

3. This is from a lesson in Kathy Craven's class in May of 2010 called, Too Many Stories, modified in September, 2010.

4. After looking at the example of my digital story featuring their peers, students will learn about the basic principles of digital storytelling, ultimately creating digital stories of their own.

LMS-Week 2 Comment #2

Response to Eric Hanson's post on What to CMS/LMS cost?

Thanks for clarifying the sometimes hazy difference between CMS and LMS. I think where both of these systems are falling short, my guess is that is where learning content management systems or (LCMS) are starting to fill in. Well written and clear summary of the article.

The eye-catching blue background really drew me into your post as well as your last quote and question, "Is this really meeting the learner's needs?" Thank you so much for breaking this article down into Cliff note form, you really know your stuff!

Week 2-Cavazzi Aimee Training Professionals Gain Agility and Power from LCMS Technology

Many large corporations and agencies have invested in learning content management systems (LCMS) to train and educate their employees. Many of these buyers are mentioned in Bill Perry's article; the Canadian Air Force, the US Nuclear Power Industry, and the Challenger Corporation (has the largest online training library for clinical training) have implemented LCMS into their training repertoire.

Bill Perry describes some of the many benefits of LCMS, the most notable one being the personalization of the teaching modules used by trainees. The system records the training, tracks the progress, and allows for collaboration. It is also easy to maintain content as well as make quick adjustments to vast amounts of information and data. The content delivered is media rich, as well as ready on demand for learners. Managers and administrators boast of the decrease in training time, and money being saved on course development and training. According to, Internet Time Group, LCMS comes with built in authoring systems, which allow experts in the field to build content, bypassing the need for a programmers.

“Simply put, learning content management systems have enabled training departments to become a strategic weapon for employers.” (Perry, 2010) Training on a LCMS has become a powerful and effective way to keep track of training and keep employees on the cutting edge of current trends within their specific industries.

Wimba Session 3

The thorough review of CMS LMS and CLMS was helpful to my understanding of the acronyms. Hearing descriptions from classmates was also particularly helpful in fully grasping the sometimes-ambiguous differences between CMS and LMS, specifically in education. I’m also glad to hear the assignments (UDUTU) broken down and explained in detail. I’m less daunted by the assignment now.
