Week 5 - April 14, 2012

Welcome to class. Here is this week's agenda:
 * Recap of Week 4
 * Multimedia in the Classroom - practical application
 * Web 2.0 Tools in action!


 * Our Work:**

Last class session we were working the creation of our own personal wikispaces that outlined our ideas for how we are (or would) using the web 2.0 tools we read about in Richardson for our own content areas. Please place a link to that wiki on the table below. Remember to view your classmates' work and comment or edit the pages if applicable. If your page is "public" anyone can do this. If your page is private or semi-private, you will need to request to join the page in a similar fashion to how you joined my wiki in week 1. Be sure your page has a discussion tab that talks about "what it all means" to you. Please be sure to go to each of your classmates' pages and read what they have to say and provide feedback.

 * This week...**

Now that we have a better understanding of the web 2.0 tools discussed in Richardson and have worked individually and collaboratively on how we could use them, it is your turn to apply this knowledge. Your charge is to create a unit of study on a topic that is relevant to what you teach using these web 2.0 tools. This unit of study should take place over the course of 5 class periods. Provide me a summary of each of the 5 days and what the students would be expected to do, along with the web 2.0 tools that you will embed in your lessons. These summaries can be brief, but clear enough to give the reader an understanding of what your students will be doing on each day of the week. Next, choose one day from the five that you would like to design a "flipped" a lesson. For this day's lesson, I would like you to design a complete lesson plan along with a supporting activity. This lesson should be flipped so that the students will view a screencast demonstration you create and then a description of the work they will be expected to complete when they come into the next class session. You should complete this task on your wikispace, with the day by day summaries and flipped lesson on the page. You should embed your video onto the wiki (like you did for your profile screencast) and link to any web-based documents or websites that support your lesson. This flipped lesson should be something that anyone could readily use in a classroom setting.

By now, your wiki should be growing. How you choose to build your wiki is up to you. I like to make the main wiki page a hub or center for information. That hub should then link to the different pages you have been asked to create. This will give you a comprehensive wiki site once we complete our work together. If you are not sure how to create pages, link to pages or web-based information or embed video onto your page, please let me know.
