IT tasks (for a great group of students:-D )

In keeping with our goal to become a "paperless" classroom, today's assignment is listed below.

1. Finish creating blog
2. Write a reflection about "the process of creating the blog" (was it difficult? was it easier than you thought it would be? Was it fun? Do you think your blog will be helpful?)
3. We will learn how to insert a picture into a blog.
4. INVESTIGATION - Use a search engine (like Google or Yahoo) to research "digital storytelling".

• What is digital storytelling?
• What programs can we use for digital storytelling?
• Are any of these tools open-source? (Open-source tools are are free! Another name is Freeware.)

Remember to keep all of the URL's for documentation purposes. (We will need this information when we are creating our design folder for assessment).

5. Begin the PhotoStory 3 tutorial. Click here to fly through cyberspace to a site with a FREE PhotoStory 3 tutorial.

Remember your blog has been created as an online "notebook". Please record all of your finding on your blog. Also before the end of each class, please write a reflection about what you did in class that day.

Our blogs have been created as a tool to help when we are completing our projects and evaluating our work at the end of the term.
