I have already "invited" you to join this wiki. However, if you don't have an account in wikispaces you will still need to create an account using a username (may I suggest your 1st initial and last name, just in case you forget to use your name for posting - you can change it later if you like) and password (may I suggest your HCC password) and an email address (may I suggest your HCC email address). You will NOT need a "space" name NOR do you need to make a space - it is not necessary to join my wikispace.

We will be creating a page with technological resources that will be made available to teachers. You will need to find examples of TEN technological "items" (see the left side navigation bar) and post your submissions under each of those pages NOT under this page.

The ten items are listed in your textbook and include a digital story, an educational blog, a virtual field trip, a web quest, an online tutorial, a news group, a simulation, and THREE helpful websites related to education. The specifics of each are explained on specific wikipages.

You will need to include your name, the title of the resource, a hyperlink to the web page where we can find the resource, a 100 word review of the resource (you should do this in Word and then cut and paste it into the wiki), and a line underneath your posting. You may use bullets if you so desire but it is not required. See the submission example page of how you are to do this. If you're not sure how to use a wiki or what the purpose of a wiki is, you might want to check out the how to use a wiki page.

YOU SHOULD ALSO LOOK AT OTHER PEOPLE'S POSTINGS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT REPEAT, unless you have my permission to do so, THE EXACT RESOURCE AS SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS POSTED.

You will present your findings in class at a later date. Please email me (traci.vanprooyen@heartland.edu) or call me (309-268-8576) if you have any questions.
