Readings - remind students. Do the readings yourself. Incorporate readings into discussion. See below.
 * 1) Update your week - make sure your lab week that you designed during orientation is well prepared for your week
 * 2) During TTL hours - we still need some items for the course. Like an e-Portfolio screencast tutorial (preferably something we can post as a podcast), e-Portfolio rubrics.
 * 3) Cases - cases are coming up. Make sure yours are updated.
 * 4) Observations & Movie Night - videotaping and 10 minute showing. Anonymous feedback and later working sessions.
 * 5) Research in w200 - Any research, regardless whether previously approved needs to be re-approved by Dr. Bob and Dr. Leftwich. The same policy exists in w301/401.

=Some tips to ensure that all activities get done and we are not running short on time=

I sort of combined the worksheet discussion, the key points from the readings, and the survey tool thing into one activity to make time for the PDP and the e-portfolio shell. I had them work in groups of two for the first activity where they created google docs and commented on the key topics from the readings as well as their worksheet discussions (I will be grading this google doc). This activity was comfortably completed in 30 min. I then spent about 5 to 10mins talking about what an e-portfolio is and showing them what needs to be included in an e-portfolio. I also talked about the PDP and showed them some example PDPs avaliable online. They then spent 30 more mins individually working on their PDPs. Previous to the class, I had uploaded links to various sites that had example PDPs (you can conduct a quick google search for a sample PDPs---there are tone available), e-portfolios for them to access whenever they felt they needed to as well as the link to the survey that they took the first week to help them jog their memory regarding their knowledge of technology. I witnessed several students reference these links while they were working on their PDPs. Once that was done, we had plenty of time to create the e-portfolio shell as well as upload the PDP to their Artifacts page as well as copy the standrads from the NETS-T site on to their standard page.

I think, all we needed to do was crunch the smaller activities into one big one all the while making sure we have enough time for the PDPs and the E-portfolios. These two activities are definitely the most time consuming.
