EDM 310 Class for 2/4/09

Class,

First, thank you for your understanding about Monday and my duties with Founder's Day.

Second, today we will do the following.

1. We will talk about the Google articles.

2. We will work on the Google presentations in class. I have decided to do the presentations in reverse alphabetically order. These students will present on Monday Feb. 9th. The remainder of the class will present on Wednesday Feb 11th.

Jones, Thelma E.
Lamar, Kayland T.
Lambert, Rennard G.
McAuliffe, Kathy J.
Pearman, Heather G.
Roe, Julia W.
Scott, Caleb M.
Smith, Tyler T.
Williams, Jennifer L.

3. I will also come around and check off the iGoogle assignment today.

4. The blog assignment for next week is the following.

1. Search the web for at least two examples in the United States of schools or teachers using blogs in K-12 classrooms. Review at least two sites that you find and write a paragraph on each that gives the other students a sense of how blogs are being used in the examples that you find. For example, if you find a school in Minnesota that is using blogs, summarize their use in five or six sentences. Do the same for another example. Include in your post links that work to the sites that you find. Also post a picture (of the school, teacher, or some picture used on the site) for each example about which you write. ATQS (3)(c) 1.(iii); (3)(c) 4.(i); (3)(c) 4.(ii)

2. Search the web for at least two INTERNATIONAL schools or teachers using blogs in K-12 classrooms. Write a summary for each site in the same manner that you used for June 19. Include in your post links that work to the sites that you find. Also post a picture (of the school, teacher, or some picture used on the site) for each example about which you write.

There will be no blog assignment on Monday Feb 9th due to the Google Presentations. I will assign another blog assignment on Wednesday Feb. 11th.
