Phorum Assignment: February 18, 2001

We have two Phorum assignments for the week, one for Strategies and the other for Staff Development.

Strategies: Web Authoring Practice.

At this point, most of you have had several successful experiences with uploading a web. We need to practice creating webs, so I have a mini-web assignment for you that will be due on February 28, 2001, when you will meet in Tapped In with me to project your work.

Below are three lessons.  The first demonstrates how to define webs in FrontPage and Dreamweaver. The second,  Lesson Two, takes you through the TILT Principles. This covers FrontPage, Dreamweaver, PageMill and Composer web authoring applications. Being able to TILT will take you to the intermediate level and beyond. It's, as you know, a ZoPed thing.  Lesson Three is your assignment for the week for the strategies course.

Staff Development:

1) Read the Action Research web below;

An Introduction to Action Research

2) As individuals, in a follow-up activity to the Phorum postings of the six synopses from last Thursday, pick one of the six group discussion statements from Thursday's Tapped In Agenda and discuss how you think the formative aspects of the action research process can contribute to new understandings in assessing the use and integration of technology in schools. Include in your discussion potential "areas of focus" in the action research process. You may also cite Internet or text references;

3) Post your response in the thread that corresponds to the discussion statement you chose to examine so that the people involved in the original discussion may locate your insightful comments easily;

4) This assignment is to be no less than four paragraphs each and posted by Sunday, February 25, 2001, so that the Tapped In assignment for the following Thursday is more meaningful.
