Today, instead of just listening to me, you will be working on your laptops.  What will you be doing?  Something wikid of course - you'll be creating your own personal wiki.  This wiki will be used as an e-portfolio in which you can store the projects that you have already done as well as those you will be doing in the near future.  Since these wikis are not blocked you will also be able to share them with the students in your classes.

If you ever need to know which sites are blocked to students, sign in with this username and password:

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT

http://www.classtools.net/SMS/

Create a fake text conversation about something pertaining to technology or about one of the subjects you teach.  Once completed, embed this project into your wiki.  

 

 

When finished with this homework assignment, send the URL to your wiki so that your lead teacher can see your embedded text conversation.  If for some reason, you can't embed the fake text conversation, upload a second YouTube video pertaining to one of the subjects you teach and type a brief paragraph underneath explaining why you chose it.

As always, if you have difficulty with this assignment you may email me or call me for assistance.  Call 840-6400.
