- School Projects June 15, 2009I had a different blog post in mind, but after an arduous weekend that included tears and frustration of helping my first grader do a school project on Giant Pandas, I decided to change my plans. Last weekend I learned that in one week we had to write a paper, do an art project illustrating their animal, and be prepared to present information to the class. I […]noreply@blogger.com (Karen Kaemmerling)
- Memorial Day May 31, 2009Memorial Day is not just a long weekend for great sales at the stores. More important it is a day to honor soldiers who have fallen serving our nation. Congress declared the last Monday in May a national holiday in 1971. However, the celebration of Memorial Day dates back to Decoration Day, first widely observed on May 30, 1868 by General Orders No. 11 wr […]noreply@blogger.com (Karen Kaemmerling)
- Geo-mashups May 18, 2009One of my favorite presentations at the eLCC conference was a about educational use of Mashups. What’s a mashup? Wikipedia defines mash-ups as “a web application that combines data from one or more sources into a single integrated tool. The term Mashup implies easy, fast integration, frequently done by access to open APIs and data sources to produce results […]noreply@blogger.com (Karen Kaemmerling)
- Questions to Ponder May 5, 2009In April, I attended the eLCC conference and presented with Alice Bedard-Voorhees on New Designs for Assessment. Alice is the person I credit most for giving me an opportunity to teach online and for inspiring me to try innovative teaching tools and concepts. At the conference, I am pleased to share that Alice won the eLCC Faculty of the Year award. You […]noreply@blogger.com (Karen Kaemmerling)
- Progress versus Historical Preservation April 26, 2009This month we reviewed the history behind environment preservation, and today I conclude this brief look at conservation with a call for communities to preserve their history. It may not surprise you to know that my family picked its hometown due to the historic and small hometown feel of Mainstreet. Ten years later Mainstreet remains, but it has changed in […]noreply@blogger.com (Karen Kaemmerling)
- Topic of the Month: Earth Day- Wednesday April 22, 2009 April 19, 2009After several years of trying to draw attention to the deterioration of the environment, Senator Gaylord Nelson called for grassroots demonstrations and support for the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. The first Earth Day permanently forced the deterioration of the environment and the dissipation of resources to the political arenas. The same year, Ric […]noreply@blogger.com (Karen Kaemmerling)
- Environment April 12, 2009The environment and different sources of energy were major topics of the election in 2008, and yet recently this important issue has earned less media attention. Maybe this is because the economy has become the focus of President Obama’s first hundred days and maybe this is because he and other politicians are getting less pressure due to lower prices at the […]noreply@blogger.com (Karen Kaemmerling)
- Assignment Feedback April 5, 2009This spring I shared several assignments (timelines, webliography, movie review and more) that encourage student originality, creativity, and allow them to select topics that are most interesting and relevant to them. These flexible assignments still meet the Colorado Common Course Outcomes. When designing a course, I start by creating a course map that a […]noreply@blogger.com (Karen Kaemmerling)
- Topic of the Month: Immigration History March 29, 2009Every March many Americans celebrate St. Patrick’s Day whether they have Irish ancestry or not. This blending of many cultural traditions from the immigration of various groups to this continent is one of the wonderful qualities I appreciate about the United States. March’s special topic of the month is Immigration History. Immigration history is a broad top […]noreply@blogger.com (Karen Kaemmerling)
- Historical Narrative Assignment March 22, 2009Students often evaluate historical events and the people who lived ages ago by today’s standards and what we know now about the outcome. Sometimes this hindsight makes it difficult for students to empathize with people in the past. In this historical narrative writing assignment, students imagine what it would have been like to live in another time. Then […]noreply@blogger.com (Karen Kaemmerling)
