Web 2.0? Isn't web 1.0 good enough for me?

Updating your website
In class we'll all work together to add our delicious site to our website. On Friday, we'll get all caught up, and also work to get rid of all the extra "fluff" around the edges of our layout, so it's clean and professional.
Digital Immigrants vs. Digital Natives – Which one are you?
Good teachers know their students. Better teachers understand their students. One path to knowing your students is to understand their generation.
On the front of your index card describe how you learn new things. On the back of your index card, describe how you think your parents and professors learn.
Students you will teach (and any of you born after 1982) are sometimes called “digital natives” a phrase coined by Marc Prensky. Most of the teachers you’ve had are considered “digital immigrants.” Let’s look at this quick presentation to find out what that means.
Homework for Wednesday:
Based on the presentation, class discussion, and your personal opinion – respond to the following questions in a new Google Doc (http://docs.google.com) – use the same login you use for Google Sites.
