Movin' on...for the last time.

Your new (and last) assignment is posted. I LOVE RSS--lots of people have asked me how I have learned so many tools and have so many ideas on using them in classrooms. THAT'S EASY...I am a learned of SO many people through a large RSS feed. With budgets ever diminishing, this is an expensive, personalized and convenient option for professional development.

Make sure your assignment is in by Wednesday (as I have to bubble final grades). Although I'm not supposed to let you know your grade, check Engrade within a few days and your final course grade will be posted. there.

5/2 5:30 p.m.

With no Metro email, I have lost some hope! But we're working on this plan B of communication and it seems to be working

So, STILL MOVIN' ON!

Your new assignment is found here: http://drmcgregor.wikispaces.com/Final+Assignment

It holds significant weight in your course grade, so think on it deeply and write eloquently.

I have changed all the grades in ENGRADE that I cannot located to an "M". This will cause the program to calculate the cell as a "0". If this is INCORRECT, PLEASE let me know so that your grade fairly and accurately reflects your hard work. You can do this by sharing with me on your home page (temporarily) the information you need me to see. I so hope I am not out of line to share this as an example of how you could do this: http://denverdolphins.wikispaces.com/space.discussion.drmcgregor

ADDITIONALLY, your final wiki is due THURS and 5:00 p.m. I HIGHLY encourage you to open the link on the navigation bar (Final considerations for your wiki), READ THOROUGHLY and implement the instructions I share with you on that page. Remember, your final wiki grade is worth 20% of your final grade.

The teacher story-of-the-week is embedded in the assignment.

Hang in there, work hard this work! Although it is the last week of classes, there is one more assignment for finals week.

4/25 6:30 p.m.

Huh...still no Metro account so don't sent email to that account. I know, it's back up, but that can't quite figure out why some accounts are not accessible. I'm sure they get it rectified by the weekend. In the meantime, we should still be in contact through: edt3010@gmail.com.

So, MOVIN' ON!

Your new assignment (Google Tools) is found here: http://drmcgregor.wikispaces.com/Web2.0+Tools+Again

There is only one page, so don't look for others.

When you are done, please let me know EXACTLY where your two tools are located.

Other items: --PLEASE check Engrade and ensure that I have your wiki address recorded in the gradebook. Without the MSCD email, I can't look up your wiki.

MAKE SURE you do not make a fatal mistake of confusing a WIDGET witth a WEB2.0 tool. A widget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any web page without requiring additiona compliation of coding. Widgets often take the form of on-screen tools (clocks, event countdowns, auction-tickers, stock market tickers, flight arrival information, daily weather etc).

And, a story of the week:



4/17/10 9:30p.m.

MOVIN' ON!

I see on the MSCD page that email is supposed to be back to working (but I can't get into it, so I'll send this out via the wiki.

Your new assignment (Google Tools) is found here: http://drmcgregor.wikispaces.com/RM-GT

This is a bit of a challenging project. The hardest part of the assignment is in CREATING the lesson!

Other items: --PLEASE check Engrade and ensure that I have your wiki address recorded in the gradebook. Without the MSCD email, I can't look up your wiki. --As stated below (and according to the course assignment page), your digital story is not due until next Sunday (** 4/25 **) (along with the Google Tools assignment) as I have VERY high expectations for the project.

Looking forward: The light at the end of the tunnel is appearing. This is not the time to slow down, but the time to vamp up.

This week: Google Tools Next Week (4/25): Web2.0 revisted Final week of classes (5/2): Final reflectiion Finals week (5/9): RSS (due the by WED of the same week).

ALSO, please note that your FINAL wiki is due 5/5 (that's a SATURDAY) by 5:00 p.m. (more to come on that later).

Teacher Story of the week (and last week's also):



4/17/10: 3:30 p.m.

Since the photostory project is quite a big one, it always has TWO weeks to be completed (as stated in the assignment page). It isn't due until ** 4/25 **.

GLARGH! I called yesterday and Metro has no idea when email will be back up. So here's the plan!

1. Get busy on the digital story assignment, if you have no already begun.

2. PLEASE check Engrade as I am up-to-date on all grades IF you're wiki address is in the gradebook. If it is not, you need to send it to me ASAP. How do do that? Send me an email from your personal email account to: mcgregor.candy
