Instructional Design with technology

To do by Sept 5

Find an exemplary personal web site (a web site created by a person to describe themselves).

Post in WebBoard its name, URL, short description, and why you think it is exemplary (support your argument). Put the WebBoard URL in C-Base.

Create an eportfolio web page for yourself, or if you already have such a web page, improve it based on the exemplars you and others in the class have found.

Post on webboard its URL and describe how and why you created or modified it. Post the WebBoard URL in C-Base.

To do by Sep 12

Read Bruce & Levin "Taxonomy of Education Uses of Technology"

Read Bruce & Levin "Roles for New Technologies in Language Arts: Inquiry, Communication, Construction, and Expression" (login as "guest" with password "guest")
Enter at least one comment on at least one part of this "interactive paper".
In WebBoard, respond to this paper, especially focusing on the potential of the taxonomy to provide guidance for generating innovative uses of technology (the section titled "Using the Taxonomy to Look Ahead". Are the kinds of uses generated there (Language Construction Set and Language Workbench) plausible? Can you generate other innovative uses using the taxonomy? Post the WebBoard URL of your reaction posting in C-Base.

Take the exemplary use of technology that you posted in WebBoard during week 1. Reply to your own posting, saying where that use fits in the Bruce & Levin taxonomy (it could fit more than once place), what learning goals it could be used to achieve and what technology resources it requires. Post the WebBoard URL of your reply in C-Base.

Respond to at least two other classmembers postings in the "Bruce & Levin" WebBoard conference.
