PREREQUISITES

In order to start thing2, you should have successfully taken the two online quizzes listed below:

• Electronic Resources quiz at QuizStar
• Thing1 quiz at QuizStar

If  not, then please do not proceed to this thing.  In addition, make sure to update your progress in the Google Docs spreadsheet to reflect the completion of “thing1″.

INTRODUCTION

Web2.0 is the term given to the hundreds of new Internet technologies that make the Internet interactive.  Unfortunately, you can not use any of these either personally or professionally if you do not have a website.   Shortly, we will be building a website, but it is important to see a few of these Web2.0 technologies.

ASSIGNMENT

Navigate to “thing2″ and watch the three videos on the assignment page.  Jot down your brief thoughts about each video.  There are several tasks listed towards the bottom of the page.  You may even see some comments from teachers outside of KLHT.

• The Machine is Us
  • if this video is black, try a different website at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE
    
• Shift Happens
• Students are Changing video?

Also, think about how you teach now versus five years ago.  Do you think that you will be teaching the same way five years from now?

After reflecting, go to Quizstar and take “Thing2″ quiz.

Good Luck!
