EDU+221+Assignment--Block+1+Module+1

BLOCK 1 ASSIGNMENTS given during the first 2 weeks but due at the beginning of Module 1
 * 2/26/07**--Read the remaining chapters in "Fires in the Bathroom." Do a QR (quick response posting) on each chapter. Title each posting with Chapter #, label each one with both QR and Fires. Send an email to Dr. Theresa when you have finished the book so she can read your postings at that time.
 * 2/26/07**--Post your assigned definition, positive characteristics, and negative characteristics from your team. We did this in class on January 26, you just have to transfer it from your paper to the wiki, which is http://sp07class.wikispaces.com/block1teacherroles.

BLOCK 1 ASSIGNMENTS -- MODULE 1
 * 2/28/07**--computer survey, Middle Schoolers in the Middle
 * 3/5/07**--Snow Day make up assignment
 * Read this website: http://polaris.gseis.ucla.edu/pagre/how-to-help.html
 * The page is divided into 2 lists: "First you have to tell yourself some things," and "Having convinced yourself of these things, you are more likely to follow some important rules."
 * After reading the lists, make one quick blog entry titled "How to help someone use a computer" with 1 tag: QR. In your blog entry, list at least one "thing you have to tell yourself" and at least one "important rule" that you could particularly relate to and tell why those spoke to you. Then write one sentence (I'll accept 2 if you insist) telling how you can use that information in your team's presentation where you're going to be teaching us about a technology in the classroom.

2. Search for, evaluate, and select all the websites that you will use for resources in your WebQuest. Bring the URLs to class in an electronic format (in an email, in a Word document that's on your H: drive or attached to an email or on your pen drive . . .). You just need the actual URL (http://...) and not a printout of the page or electronic version of the website. 3. Make any modifications to your GRASPS model (Stage 2) that you need to in order to be ready to start building the WebQuest. 4. Make sure that your UMF website is activated (watch the list on eCampus). If your name doesn't show up by Saturday afternoon, visit the Computing Center and find out why. Get it taken care of by Sunday so that your site is activated before you get to class on Monday.
 * 3/7/07**--team presentations
 * 3/12/07**--1. Find (or make) the graphics that you want for your WebQuest and bring them to class in an electronic format, all in one folder (you can have them on your iPod, in an email, on your H: drive, on a pen drive, . . . ).
 * 3/14/07**--1. Have your WebQuest finished and uploaded. 2. Add your URL, title, grade level, and subject to the class wiki for your WebQuest. We will give each other feedback in class. We will look at wishlist items and see what resources we can find to accomplish those.
 * 3/16/07**--1. Have your final version of your WebQuest finished and uploaded.
 * 3/26/07**--1. Email your scenario to Dr. Theresa. 2. Blog your Formative Assessment. 3. Fill out the self-evaluation and essay question at the bottom of the WebQuest rubric and email it to Dr. Theresa.
