Are You Paying Attention - thanks to Lisa

Note: the ensuing discussion raised a lot of good issues including what happens in the workplace and the teacher management part of all these texts.. It also ilustrated how some people are reluctant to engage in 'live' discussions, but indicated that they would have particpated if it was online or they could ask their questions via text messaging.

Comments on marking - and making your wikis public? NOTE: Ari is already getting comments on his blog (not just from friends and relatives).

Important ideas

Video - the new essay or how to validate and assess the process?

Sample documentary on media. (roddy99) What are the elements? How is this an essay? Where are the references?

McLuhan Overview - roddy99 on YouTube

Marshall McLuhan (disinfodave on YouTube) - enhance, obsolesce, retrieve, reverse


Clarity

Examples

Lab

Difference between a blog and wiki and how to set up a wiki.

teacherandtech.pbwiki.com - see what has been posted by others.

Also - what do we know about our wiki and who has been visiting? The stats.

DEMO --- Curriculum Navigator ????
- http://www3.edu.gov.mb.ca/cn/index.jsp

Know who is providing the information on a web site
eg. Google --- Martin Luther King --- martinlutherking.org - a site produced by white supremacists.
Would not recommend showing this to students, but we need to educate them that there is a bias in every site. Some are just more obvious.

Attendance - be here.
