EDU 221 Technology Integration and Classroom Management Assignments
For Block 1 During Module 1


 * Due Date (by noon on this date) || Assignment ||
 * F 10/12 || # Read the handout that you received about Type I and Type II technologies.
 * 1) Create a blog entry where you define the difference between Type I and Type Usage of Technology in your own words and then give 3 examples of each. They can be examples from your own student experience, examples you've observed or heard about, or examples you just made up yourself. At the bottom of your entry, put a citation for the source of the article.
 * 2) Research your team's topic. Some links can be found under "UMFTeamPresentations at my del.icio.us site: http://del.icio.us/texastheresa ||
 * M 10/15 || # Work on your team's presentation
 * 1) How to Help Others Learn About the Computer:
 * Read this webpage: http://polaris.gseis.ucla.edu/pagre/how-to-help.html* The page is divided into 2 lists: "First you have to tell yourself some things," and "Having convinced yourself of these things, you are more likely to follow some important rules."
 * After reading the lists, make one blog entry titled "How to help someone use a computer". In your blog entry, list at least one "thing you have to tell yourself" and at least one "important rule" that you could particularly relate to from the reading and tell why those spoke to you. Be sure to make it obvious which one is which and if you quote it directly from the article, then put quotation marks around it.
 * Then start a new paragraph and write one sentence (I'll accept 2 if you insist) telling how you can use that information (what you learned from either of the two facts from the article or both) in your team's presentation where you're going to be teaching us about a technology in the classroom.
 * At the bottom of the blog post, put a citation for the website. ||
 * W 10/17 || # Team presentations will be made today
 * 1) Turn in your WebQuest evaluations (completed packet of 5)
 * 2) Make sure that your UMF website is activated (watch the list on eCampus). If your name doesn't show up by Sunday afternoon, visit the Computing Center and find out why. ||
 * F 10/19 || # Post your "using technology to address diverse needs of students" end product on artifacts page (you may need to convert it to .pdf or compress it to get it to be less than 10MB).
 * 1) Double check your UMF website again. If it's working, don't make any changes to it or it might stop working. If it's not working, go to the computing center help desk NOW and talk to them. It can take up to 48 hours to get it fixed and you need it before Friday's class at noon.
 * 2) Fill out the Team Presentation Rubric--the top, your self-evaluation, and the essay questions at the bottom. Print out your filled-in rubric and bring it to class. (The rubric is on the page that describes the team presentations.)
 * 3) Prepare graphics, resources, and your GRASPS for your WebQuest. ||
 * M 10/22 || # Read Chapters 3 and 4 in //Classroom Management//. ||
 * W 10/24 || # Do the Double Highlighter Reading of Chapter 2 in //Classroom Management//. Bring the highlighted pages to class.
