Summary of Personal Learning & Major Digital Sharing Project

In the course requirements for "Summary of Personal Learning" it reads:

You will produce an artifact (e.g., narrative, slideshow, audio, video, concept map, a wiki, etc.) that summarizes the learning experience in i3cs21. The artifact should reference particular course experiences (e.g., reflections, readings, media, networking, experimentation, etc.) that contributed to your emerging understanding of The Three Cs of 21st Century Teaching and Learning, educational technology and media. You will make the artifact available online on or before noon on the Saturday immediately preceding the last session of the course.

For the "Major Digital Sharing Project" it reads:

Students will develop a digital project on a significant topic related to 21st Century Teaching & Learning. This project is wide-open to possibilities. Some ideas: series of blog posts, a class wiki or blog, portion of an online course, an online unit, a digital video (e.g., presentation), educational (subject or interdisciplinary) resource wiki, etc. You will make the project available online on or before noon on the Saturday immediately preceding the last session of the course.

As it reads, you are free to decide how you will present your summary of personal learning and your digital project.

If you are looking for ways to tell the story of your learning and to present your digital project in addition to the ones mentioned above "(e.g., narrative, slideshow, audio, video, concept map, a wiki, etc.)" and "series of blog posts, a class wiki or blog, portion of an online course, an online unit, a digital video (e.g., presentation), educational (subject or interdisciplinary) resource wiki, etc" you can check out these resources that include many examples:

• If you want to watch the presentation as prepared for an audience, you have to install CoolIris although it may still be visible without that installation.
  
• Listen to the audio of the presentation at the same time for the full experience.

Wiki Page: Editing and Tagging Video Tutorial

On the i3 wiki I just posted a new video tutorial on editing and tagging a wikispaces page. You can link to it from the i3 wiki navigation bar by clicking "Tutorials." Here is the link for your convenience.

Posting to Blogger Video Tutorials

I just finished three video tutorials on how to post to Blogger and thought I'd post them for your use. I also added them to an i3 tutorials page, which I created and which you can link to anytime from the i3 wiki's navigation bar. Here is a direct link to the videos for your convenience.

What are Weekly Tasks for the Course?

Four weeks into the Sharon course, the weekly tasks involve an active participation and engagement in the following:

1. First, keep in mind this Essential Question: What is 21st Century communication?
2. Second, ask yourself, "At this point, how is my work in the course an answer to the following question: What am I communicating about and how?"
3. Third, ask yourself, "How am I developing my ePortfolio, especially my digital footprint, at this stage?" See 21st Century Teaching and Learning ePortfolio on the course requirements page here.
4. Fourth, there are many platforms from which to choose. I want you to be using all although I do not expect you to contribute to all each week. They include:

• Chatzy (Read often. Contribute too.)
• The Class Commons Blog (Read as directed.)
• Learning Commons Blog and Your Own Blog (Do posts and comments.)
• innovation3 Course Wiki (Explore, discover and share.)
• Learning Commons Wiki (Create your page and then add to it as you learn.)
• i3 Getting Started Tools (Use any and try all of the tools.)
• Ning (This is open as a platform if you want to use it - later in the course for all participants.)
