Week 4 - April 7, 2012

Welcome to class. Here is this week's agenda:
 * Recap of Week 3
 * Continuation of Multimedia in the Classroom
 * Continuation ofWeb 2.0 Tools


 * Our Work:**

Be sure to take a look at our Blackboard site and view the video of our week 3 recap. Here are a few items we need to reflect on:
 * Last Week....**


 * 1) Review your position papers (1&2) and the comments I have made on them. I will be emailing you these papers shortly.
 * 2) On your blog, please create a post about your use of Google Reader. Who are you following (I gave you a starter list) and who have you added since then? You can use the "Blog Roll" function on Blogger to add a list of those you are following directly onto your page. Further, reflect on how you find using Reader and connect via hyperlink to anything you found useful to you. This will help us work together on building shared knowledge. Find your classmates blog links on our week 3 site to read and respond to what they have to say.
 * 3) Continue collaborating on your week 3 wiki page on the ways in which multimedia is being used in the classroom. This is a work in progress.


 * For this week...**


 * 1) Finish Richardson book chapters 5-9
 * 2) Create your own wiki similar to that of our collaborative page from week 3. Your page should focus specifically on how are using (or plan to use) web 2.0 tools in your specific content area. Be sure to tell us what that content area is. You should reference specific ideas and tools that were outlined in Richardson including Blogs, Wikis, RSS (like Google Reader) Social Bookmarking, Flickr, Podcasts and Screencasts.
 * 3) On your wiki, create a discussion post about "what it all means", similar to Richardson's chapter 9. Share your thoughts and feelings about what "new literacies" and web 2.0 technologies can offer and how they will continue to shape education and learning in the future.
 * 4) Go to each of your classmates wikis and review what they have posted. Request access to join their wiki and edit their work with information that you think might be useful. Be sure to read the discussion post on their page and respond to them. A list of our individual wikis can be found on the week 1 page.
