F500+Week+7

=Week 7: W200 Labs=

Chip: In our lab this week...


 * The technology actually worked! 4 out of 7 days of working tech is not bad
 * Quick review of the lecture podcast, with students contributing to example tools and tool "categories"
 * We took about 15-20 minutes to revisit the ePortfolio, link in evidences, and set up the rest of the "Standards" page
 * I modified the Content Exploration Tools blog, present it to the class activity. I was getting "garbage" in blog postings, so I extended the deadline until this Friday, have intensified (more description, better comments on the tool) the expectations, and instead have had students exchange blog URLs. We are doing a modified version of the group activity where students are commenting (I gave specifics for them where they are to write a "thick" paragraph on how they would use another person's tool in their subject area).
 * We stepped (again) through the SNOWy process. Drafts I am getting are "the usual" but I am trying to help mitigate this.
 * They had about 25 minutes of worktime on blogs, ePortfolios and Artifact Proposal #1

Laurie (both sections):
 * We went over housekeeping.
 * I told the students to check their gradebook and contact me THIS WEEK with questions/concerns thus far.
 * We went over the digital story rubric and how the grades were posted.
 * I mentioned the e-pal extra credit assignment.
 * Talked about content exploration. The students got in their content area groups and discussed their content tool. They then presented the information to the rest of the class.
 * Talked about Proposal #1. Showed them the rubric and had them grade their Google Doc assignment from last week with the rubric.
 * Discussed the assignments for lecture and lab next week.
