Today,
we began by discussing the application (rather than document) centric nature of
applications for notebooks such as the iPod as well as the use of Object
Oriented Programming to create these apps. During this discussion of apps, we
evaluated DuoLingo for foreign language students, ProLoquo for those requiring speech
assistive software, and Quizlet for those desiring to create digital flash
cards. I discovered a set of theological terminology flashcards on Quizlet which
may be useful to my students: https://quizlet.com/86304526/grudem-systematic-theology-terms-flash-cards/
Subsequently,
we learned about the Sokal affair which highlights the ever present tension between
the life/physical sciences and the social sciences. We also learned to create Smart
Art (for concept maps and flow diagrams) within MS Word as well as the
procedure for creating a Table of Contents with heading styles from the
References, Insert, Table of Contents feature: https://youtu.be/EMVv-Pnil3M Likewise,
we reviewed the process for linking tables and page numbers to auto update with
the cross-reference feature, the text analog of link objects for graphics: https://youtu.be/JtC8liqxOyU Finally,
we discussed the review-compare option which allows users to compare
differences in revised papers and reviewed the process for creating links with
in Power Point for multi-page presentations. The pipe key which appears above
the enter key is used to create separations between previous, first, and next last
links in such presentations.
We also
created dual track radio dramas with Audacity; I was reminded of multi-track
audio-visual performances: https://youtu.be/L0wTDn2X5tg
On Day Five, Sheila Porter's group used Today's Meet, an invitation-only chat room for students to post questions and comments during lectures: https://todaysmeet.com/
