We'll start out with a little news story about the dangers of Facebook addiction.
Finishing up your website
What questions do you have about your website? Please keep in mind that we will be working on these websites all semester – so there is always time to make changes and improvements.
Please fill out this form so I’ll be able to access your website.
That smells delicious...
You’ll use your portfolio almost every day this semester. You’ll also encounter a multitude of teaching and learning resources that you’ll need to keep organized. In order to keep it all together – you’ll want to create a delicious account: http://www.delicious.com (Ahh, the joys of propriatary companies...delicious is now owned by yahoo, so if you have a yahoo email address you can use it to log in, otherwise you will have to create one. I recommend using the same login and password as your Google account so you can remember it).
What can you do with a delicious account? View this video and view our class delicious account: http://www.delicious.com/edit2000.fall2010
As part of your homework, you will add a minimum of 3 resources to your new delicious account. These should be related to tonight’s reading. Make sure the 3 resources have brief descriptions and appropriate tags. You might also want to add links to our course resources (the blog, the syllabus, etc.) but this is not required.
And don't forget...
Another online tool you may be interested in is livebinders. This is like an online 3-ring binder, where you can collect websites, pdfs, documents, etc. around a common theme. Explore this tool a bit, and think of how you can use it in your classrooms.
By Wednesday
- Add 3 resources to your delicious site
- Read Chapter 1 – complete the Chapter 1 reading guide. (You are required to complete 4 of the 6 reading guides over the course of the semester.) All page numbers in the guide refer to the numbers at the bottom of the page. If you have not gotten your text yet, you can access a pdf of Chapter 1 here.
