Journal 7

Web 2.0

Don't forget to follow the instructions from webCT:

I would like you to pick a TOOL from the Classroom 2.0 website (see link on blog), choose a link from the tools (not content area) list on the right hand column for a technology that interests you, and follow a discussion or two that relates to your technology. In the title bar, put journal title followed by the technology you have chosen. (For example: Journal 7: Microblogging). In the journal, I would like you to define the technology and then report out on what you learned from the tool discussion (follow at least one-two threaded discussions) and read and comment on at least three peers who have chosen a different tool. You reporting out should contain the 200-250 word minimum, but you do not need to ask and answer questions. In the assignments section, you will submit your peers names.

For Submission: you will only have to submit your tool (e.g. microblogging) and the peers whose blogs you commented on with their tool (john - collaborative documents). You can simply type the names into the html creator!

Each software review will have its own post, Inspiration will be Journal 6A and iMovie will be Journal 6B. Include the artifact (Inspiration jpg and iMovie) in the post. Answer the questions in detail for each piece of software!

Remember to answer the following questions (answer all 3 questions for both Inspiration and iMovie):

Discuss:

1. how you liked the program (ease of use of program for you, how you think students would like it, etc.). Discuss the interface of the software, the ability to navigate through the program and the cost, if available for either the program or one like it.

2. how you could incorporate this software in your classroom (what projects could you see your students complete, etc.), and

3. how you liked learning via Atomic Learning (or the concept of video self-tutorial in general). Answer this only if you used Atomic Learning for either program!! If you did not use it for Inspiration, explain how you learned the program and/or learn technology software in general.
