As we enter our final week of classes I would ask you to do the following with your wikispace:


 * Off of your main page (what we have called your hub), create a link to a new page called "Gallery Walk". This is to serve as a center for all of your coursework projects and activities for this class. Organize and place the various topics we have studied and individual and collaborative projects created. Ultimately, you will just be connection and linking to this work between wikipages. Please go back and review the previous assignments in blackboard to make sure that you have all that is necessary to populate this page. Once established, please provide a link to your classmates' gallery page as well.
 * Provide a separate section or page for resource material. Link to webpages, articles or videos that you used or referenced in your projects and position papers.
 * On the gallery walk page, provide or link to a narrative reflection on what understandings you have gained from your work in this course. Include your thoughts on the use of the various web 2.0 tools we explored, along with your feelings about the overall use of technology in the 21st century classroom. Include thoughts on the use of screencasting in the design of flipped classroom instruction.
 * Take a tour of your classmates' galleries. Read and respond to the reflection provided.
