Week 2 - Introduction [Sept. 1, 2011, 4:29 a.m.]


Hi!  Welcome to Week 2.  This week we will continue to develop a vision for what it means to use Web 2.0 and Social Media effectively focusing on the following guiding question:


What does it mean to learn deeply with Web 2.0 / Social Media in the context of my classroom and school?

We will build a vision of what is possible with social media. Using this vision you will modify, enhance or build a lesson plan/project (to be taught during Week 3) that takes your use of social media to the next level. You will also join working groups (2-4 people/group) and begin discussing the whole class project (Kit).

Objectives, you will:

  • Learn more about your peers in the course and continue to build our class community.
  • Articulate what it means to use social media to learn deeply within the context of your own classroom.
  • Create a social media enhanced lesson plan (to be taught during Week 3).
  • Meet your working group.

  • Week 2 - Social Task
  • Week 2 - Reflective Task
  • Week 2 - Practical Task
  • Week 2 - Project Task <- Note: This is a social task. You will need to coordinate a time to meet with your group this week. You may want to email your team at the beginning of the week to set up a virtual meeting time. Click on the Project Task to learn what group you are in.
