Tech Tac Toe RevisitedRequirements: Choose THREE DIFFERENT TOOLS (from our list)

1. Create a sample of the technology tool you have chosen. For example if you were showing “BibMe” you would create a sample bibliography. If you were showing “Prezi” you would create a sample Prezi.

2. Add a link to your sample (embed the sample) on your professional website. You may choose to have all three samples together on one page of the website or give each tool their own page

3. Create a separate blog post for each tech tool (a total of 3 blog posts). Give some background on what your sample is showing us. Reflect on the tool: was it easy to learn and use? Can you see it helping with student instruction? Would you use it in your classroom? Embed or place a link to your sample for us to see. Remember: the best blog posts should be written for total strangers!

Blog Post Reminders: Please remember that each post should be substantive. It should be evident that you took your time and gave serious thought to the blog prompt. Please reread; checking for spelling and grammar errors before you publish your post. A reminder that the best blog posts are not written as answers to assignments, but are written for someone who is not familiar with the content you will be blogging about. Finally, a reminder that the questions included in the prompt are guiding questions. Please feel free to add content of your own where appropriate.   Common Sense Media Webinar (everyone responds to this question): What are your thoughts on tonight’s webinar: tonight’s topic, pace, webinar format, etc.

Wednesday WebinarAssignment: Do NOT start until AFTER the webinar!

Part 2:Choose 1 of the following questions to respond to (in addition to the question above).

Please use the title provided as your blog post title: #1: Participatory Media and Today’s Youth:Tonight’s presenter stated, “Kids grow up in a participatory media culture where they are encouraged to participate, share their voice, and interact online.” Do you agree? If so, do you think this is a good thing? Do educators bare any responsibility (or liability) regarding this or is it a parental concern only? #2 Digital Footprints:Google your own name. What comes up? Does this surprise (or concern) you? Can you use this as a lesson for your students? #3 A Parent’s Point of View: Explore the Common Sense Media website as a parent. What features do you find most valuable? Is anything missing? Is there anything that stood out that you would use in the future with your children? #4 Scope and Sequence:View the Educator’s Scope and Sequence area on Common Sense Media’s website. Choose one lesson (please state the name of the lesson and the grade level) and read through the lesson and materials. Would you add anything to the lesson? Would you change it in anyway? Is there any content you would remove?
