The class was started off by talking about what we were to have done before class and if anyone had a problem finding or doing what needed to be done.
Make sure you get your surveys done!!!
We checked to make sure everyone can access the class PBwiki and answering questions about setting it up. If you have any more questions, make sure to contact her or post a question on Blackboard under assignment discussion.
We talked about Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 and what they are about. You can watch a YouTube video on PowerPoint found on BlackBoard. We also covered how far the internet has come and what kinds of things you can do. We have come from writing HTML code and now we can create are own and interact with others. Web 2.0 is personal, flexible, and sociable. Then we compared Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 and discussed which ones are better and why. We also covered how to make all this mean something to me and you such as PB wiki, Flickr, and Blogger. How do you make it all managable? This is called RSS feed so insdead of you going out there and getting things it brings it to you. This can be done with just about anything.
We discussed Social Writings/Digital writings-- What is a blog? Just to name a few, its personal, reverse chronological structure, along with other great things. We talked about what some educational uses could be like storytelling, live records of learning, questions, links and resources. We talked about wikis and thier educational uses as well.
We discussed the organizational database assingment due on Feb. 12. What is social bookmarking and what's important? If you find something on the internet that you find interesting, you can bookmark it into a collection which you can share with others. You can store, describe, and share. Some educational uses would be team projects and you track students progress. All of this is in more detail in the articles she has posted. The one Dr. LaPrairie found most helpful for social bookmarking is Diigo.
Go to Go2Web20.net and find four weblink tools that you think are interesting that you can use in your classroom. Once you do that, you will then put these onto your Diigo, and describe why and how you find this helpful for your classroom.
Most of this information can be found on BlackBoard.
Make sure to READ the articles assigned for each class.
Don't forget that Assignment #1 (Class Webpage) is due Next Thursday Jan 29th.
