EDIM510+ASSIGNMENTS

media type="custom" key="4590350" =Topic 1: Intro to Web 2.0= 1. Email the instructor your Google account email address. (kathy@kathyschrock.net) To sign up for a Google account, you do not have to get a Gmail address. You can use any email address you have to use as your log-in to Google Docs. It is imperative that you do this as soon as possible, since you cannot get access to the class wiki without sending me your Google Account log-in email nor can you be invited to respond to the other class members' wikis or create your own Google Docs wiki. Go to [|this address] to create an account. And don't forget to send the Google Account log-in email you use to me via email.

=Wikis: Assigments= Using the class collaboration wiki ([|a Google doc located here]), provide ideas on how the wiki format of collaboration could be used either in your classroom or with your colleagues as a professional development tool. Include your name and a brief introduction to yourself in your wiki post.

Create your own Google doc (wiki), post an educationally-relevant question and choose to collaborate with all class members (and me!) so they can comment on your question. (I will post the Google Account info for each student in the WIKI URL Forum as I receive the info from the students.) Post the URL of your document on the discussion forum in Moodle called WIKI URL. Each member of the class is required to respond to 5 other student’s wikis.

Visit Wikipedia ([]) and Google’s Knol ([]). On the WIKPEDIA/KNOL discussion forum in Moodle, explain the differences between these two online information sources. Explain why or why not you would have students use either one.

Use the Posting Rubric for guidance for both of these assignments.
