week 14 topics

• Progress Reports were emailed on Tuesday April 28. If you wish something to be rechecked, you must email me. Give me at least 24 hours to respond. If you do not hear after that, please email me again in case your first email got lost in cyberspace.
• Be sure to send me your new essay on your vision of an integrated technology learning environment. You did this at the beginning of the semester. Do not look at what you wrote at that time until after you write about your vision now. Please send me this second vision. Worth 2 points. Due by midnight on Thursday April 30.
• Tuesday's class is canceled today, due to flooding conditions in and around Houston. Instead, access Wikispaces discussion tab for an online presentation of your portfolios.
• The Online class is to access Wikispaces discussion tab for that class to participate in an online presentation of portfolios.

• Final Presentations for Thursday's class:

  We’ll end our semester with face-to-face final presentations scheduled for Thursday, April 30. In this way, you will leave the course not only with what you have learned and completed, but with many other ideas to store in your “technology toolkit.”

  You are required to prepare a 5-minute informal talk about the piece of your work that you choose – one of your technology supports or digital story that you liked or learned the most about or worked the hardest on. You’ll show it, tell us how you came up with the idea, tell us how you developed it, and share any thoughts about how you might use it.

  You must present from your working portfolio online, via your full URL, and so make certain that everything is there and that your links work and images show. Know your URL for your portfolio!

  Since all students in our class originally signed up for a face-to-face course at 4:00, the online students in our course are expected to be present. No make-up times will be provided for the portfolio presentation or symbols.

  This presentation is worth 5% of the semester grade.

   

• Portfolio development is worth 5 % of the semester grade. I will grade this on Friday, May 1. As reminded at the beginning of the semester, when naming files to place on the Internet, you should always use lower case letters, no spacing, and no punctuation. I will evaluate on that, as well as working links, and seeing that all images appear. In addition, I will evaluate based on the organization of your portfolio, as it pertains to CUIN 3112. Please let me know as you need assistance on this. Refer to the following link from Resources as a guide: http://www.coe.uh.edu/courses/cuin3112/portfolio/quest2/index.htm
