SECD+356,+Spring+2016

I've created a Wiki page for each of you. Your goal is to explore a website/tool/app that you could use to support learning in your subject area. By integrating technology, you also are supporting digital literacy, writing, and reading.

To get started, click on your name, go to your page. Explore "Editing" functions by clicking on "Edit" and adding content to your page. Wikis provide some formatting options and a capacity to add multimedia content.


 * REMEMBER TO SAVE often**! You also can cut-and-paste content from Word or a google doc, but you need to be aware that the formatting might need adjustment once you do.

After you have played a bit with the editing function, explore the website or digital tool on your page. Click on your tool link, explore what's it for and how it works, and return to your Wiki page to add details about the tool. Include the following:

1) How it works

2) Why you'd use it for student learning

3) Try to find examples within the site showing how it has been used for teaching and learning. Or, create an example. Add hyperlinks within your Wiki page to help readers of your page explore the features of your website/tool that you found interesting. **Be ready to introduce the site/resource to our class.**


 * To get started, click on your name and go to your page. You'll find these directions again, as well as a link to your website/tool: **
