5 Assignment 1: WEBSITE EVALUATION [15 points] This assignment begins on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 and ends on Sunday, March 29, This assignment presents students with a real-life opportunity to help a specific school or other educational organization improve the quality of their website by acting as an evaluation consultant. For this assignment, students will fulfill two tasks: (1) reporting the results of a website evaluation (described below), and (2) revising a comprehensive evaluation report. Task #1 Reporting the Results of a Website Evaluation [10 points] During Week 1 (January 12, 2009 through January 18, 2009) students will be assigned a specific, real website to evaluate for a real client. Each website has been submitted by an educator who will use the students feedback to make actual changes and improvements to the website. In addition to performing in this role, students must also recruit two other individuals (adults that may or may not be in this class) to use specific instruments to evaluate the same website in order to avoid biased evaluation. The website evaluation will be conducted using two instruments: Small and Arnone s Website Motivational Analysis Checklist (WebMAC) Professional Version Arnone and Small s Content Validity Scale These instruments allow students to pinpoint both specific and more general areas in need of improvement regarding their assigned website. Both instruments are posted on LMS. Once students and their recruits have evaluated the assigned website using both instruments, students will synthesize the evaluation results from both instruments (separately) and write a comprehensive evaluation report (approximately 4-6 pages long) for the client. In this report, students will describe the instruments, their methods, the results, and offer constructive suggestions for improvement based on the evaluation results. The comprehensive evaluation report should be written professionally, and should be free of typographical, grammatical, and spelling errors. Points will be deducted for poor grammar and syntax. Students with weak writing skills are encouraged to seek help from a friend or family member who can act as an editor.

6 The comprehensive evaluation report should include the following sections: The Title and URL of Assigned Website; The Name, Title (Evaluation Consultant), and Address of the Student; Goals and Learning Objectives of the Project; A General Description of the Website; o What is the purpose of the website? o Who is its intended audience? o What content does the website contain? o Does the website have any special or unique features? A Brief Description of the Evaluation; o What criteria/method for evaluating the website was used? o What instruments were used? o Who evaluated the website? What are their titles? No names (other than that of the student in this course) should be used! o How was the data analyzed? Synthesis of Overall Findings; Recommendations/Suggestions for Improvement; Reflection on the Experience; and o Why is evaluating websites important? o What suggestions do students have for additional or alternative criteria for evaluating websites? References and Resources o Both website evaluation instruments. o Any additional resources used. The comprehensive evaluation report will first be submitted to the LMS Assignment Dropbox by Sunday, March 1, The instructor will review this submission and provide feedback and suggestions for revisions, where necessary. Task #2 -- Revising a Comprehensive Evaluation Report [5 points] Students will make necessary revisions and submit their revised comprehensive evaluation report to the LMS Assignment Dropbox by Sunday, March 29, At this time, the instructor will send students the address of the client so that students may send them the revised comprehensive report as well. Students must cc the instructor on this in order to receive full credit for this task. Assignment 2: COLLABORATIVE TECHNOLOGY PROJECT [35 points]

7 This assignment begins on Monday, January 26, 2009 and ends on Sunday, April 19, This assignment presents students with an opportunity to apply their newly-gained technology-related knowledge and skills to a real educational context. (Students are encouraged to combine this assignment with a fieldwork or practicum project whenever possible.) Students may work with up to three other students in this class and/or with one or more site-based practitioners (classroom teachers, school library media specialists, trainers, managers, administrators, etc.) to develop and implement technology solutions to an identified need in an educational setting. Students wishing to use their own educational workplace as the site of their collaborative technology project may do so. Where appropriate, students should incorporate visual images and/or sound into their final projects. Each collaborative team should meet very early in the semester in order to clarify the goal(s) and scope of the project, establish a timeline for completing the project, and assign team members specific project responsibilities. Students are encouraged to use LMS, , telephone, videoconferencing, face-to-face communication, synchronous chats, wikis, and/or any other communications methods available to collaborate. As responsible project managers, students are expected to share the goals, timeline, and responsibilities with their contact(s) at their educational site. For this semester-long assignment, students will fulfill two tasks: (1) post two progress reports to the appropriate class discussion boards (described below), and (2) post a final report describing, in detail, the completed project to the appropriate class discussion board and the LMS Assignment Dropbox. Task #1 Progress Reports [5 points each] Each team will post a progress report on the status of its collaborative technology project to the appropriate class discussion board (so that every student may read about projects being completed for this class) on the following dates: February 22, 2009 and March 22, Progress reports should be written professionally, and should be free of typographical, grammatical, and spelling errors. Points will be deducted for poor grammar and syntax. Students with weak writing skills are encouraged to seek help from a friend or family member who can act as an editor. In each progress report, the following information must be included: Title of Collaborative Technology Project;

9 A wiki, from the Hawaiian word for fast, is a simple website that allows any visitor to add, delete, or edit its contents, depending on the rights the wiki owner assigns. The power of a wiki is its ease of use - it s as simple as using a word processor. Wikis are commonly used to create a repository for group knowledge. In this class, students will use a wiki to collaboratively create a website of the educational applications of various Web 2.0 technologies for future reference. Students will work in assigned pairs to research Web 2.0 technologies. Student partners must submit a list of three choices of Web 2.0 tools from the posted list by Thursday, January 15 th, Instructors will do their best to match student partners with chosen Web2.0 technologies, but no two student-pairs will be assigned the same technology. Instructors will make Web 2.0 technology assignments by Sunday, January 18 th, This assignment consists of four tasks. (1) Students will describe and explain the technology. (2) Students will give specific curriculum examples of how this technology would support learning in an educational setting. (3) Students will create a tutorial to help others use this technology. (4) Students will compose personal reflections on the usefulness of this tool in education. Each task will first be submitted to the assignment dropbox for grading. Once students have received instructor feedback, they need to make necessary revisions and post to the class wiki within two weeks ( in order to receive credit. Deadlines below refer to the date each task must be submitted to the assignment dropbox. Task #1 Describe and explain a Web 2.0 technology [6 points] Each pair will submit a description of their Web 2.0 technology to the assignment dropbox by Sunday, January 25 th, This short (2 page) report should include the following sections: The Title and URL of the Assigned Technology; Description of Technology and explanation of what makes it a Web 2.0 technology Outline of the technology s strengths, weaknesses, and special features Links and Comparison to Similar Web 2.0 Tools The description should be written professionally, and should be free of typographical, grammatical, and spelling errors. Points will be deducted for poor grammar and syntax. Students with weak writing skills are encouraged to seek help from a friend or family member who can act as an editor.

10 Task #2 Link the technology to curriculum [6 points] By Sunday, February 1, 2009 each pair will submit a short (2 page) report outlining how their technology would support learning in an educational setting. Students will select two learning standards from the New York State Core Curriculum ( Learning standards can be taken from any subject area and any educational level (elementary, intermediate, and commencement), but the two standards selected should be from different subject areas and different educational levels. Students will then describe an activity in which teachers could use their Web 2.0 technology to help students meet that learning standard. Each activity should also meet at least one of the AASL Standards for a 21 st Century Learner and one of the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards as posted on the class LMS Website. NOTE: The instructors will be available to provide assistance with accessing and interpreting the New York State Learning Standards as well as the AASL and ISTE standards. School library media specialists are called upon to teach information skills in the context of helping students meet learning standards in any core curriculum area. This task will give students experience in conceptualizing such activities. Students are not expected to write up a formal lesson plan for these activities. However, the report should be written professionally, and should be free of typographical, grammatical, and spelling errors. Points will be deducted for poor grammar and syntax. Students with weak writing skills are encouraged to seek help from a friend or family member who can act as an editor. The report should include the following sections: The Title and URL of the Assigned Technology; Description of the first activity; o Role of Web 2.0 technology o New York State Learning Standard addressed Core Curriculum area Educational level o AASL Standard for the 21 st Century Learner addressed o ISTE National Educational Technology Standard addressed Description of the second activity; o Role of Web 2.0 technology o New York State Learning Standard addressed Core Curriculum area Educational level o AASL Standard for the 21 st Century Learner addressed

11 o ISTE National Educational Technology Standard addressed Conclusion discussing how Web 2.0 technology makes these standards easier to address or makes the activities more interesting/meaningful than do standard technologies Task #3 Creating a Tutorial [8 points] Students will create a tutorial showing others how to use their Web 2.0 technology. The tutorial must be downloaded to the assignment drop box by Sunday, February 15, The tutorial will be created with using a technology called Jing. Jing is a program available to download for free from Jing enables you quickly and easily capture any area of your screen as an image or video, add sound if you wish, and then share it with anybody. More information on how to use Jing will is available on the course LMS website. The tutorial should include enough detail to enable any user with standard computer skills to access and successfully use your Web 2.0 technology. At a minimum it should include the following information: How to access the Web 2.0 technology; An explanation of the purpose of the technology; A tour of the technology s features; Step-by-step instruction on how to utilize the technology. Task #4 Personal Reflection [10 points] Each student will use a Web 2.0 tool (not necessarily the tool they have been assigned) to compose a personal reflection on the usefulness of their assigned Web 2.0 technology in an educational setting. This reflection can be in written, audio, or visual form. The personal reflection must be downloaded to the assignment drop box by Sunday, March 8, The intent of this task is for each of the students to thoughtfully ponder Web 2.0 technology. In doing so, students should discuss their experience within the constraints of the given assignment. Students should also consider the utility their Web 2.0 technology for pre-service and current educators. The reflection should end with a bibliography of at least three current articles on the educational uses of their Web 2.0 tool. This reflection should include the following sections: What did I learn from this experience? How can this Web 2.0 tool help educators?

12 Bibliography. Assignment 4: TECHNOLOGY ISSUE DISCUSSION [20 points] This assignment begins on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 and ends on Sunday, April 26, For this semester-long assignment, students will fulfill two tasks: (1) guiding a group discussion (as described below), and (2) participating regularly in group discussions. Task #1 Guiding A Group Discussions [8 points] During Week 1 (January 12, 2009 through January 18, 2009) students will be assigned a Technology Issue Discussion Group and a group discussion to guide for a specified week in the semester following the guidelines presented below. Before the week begins, students must locate 2-3 relevant electronic resources (online journal articles, websites, etc.) that will help other students learn more about the topic (e.g. countering viewpoints, authentic examples). In this way students gain experience selecting key background materials to enhance an asynchronous online discussion. At the start of the discussion week students will provide a short annotated bibliography (i.e. one sentence dealing with the relevance of each electronic resource) as well as 2-3 essential questions to encourage meaningful discussion of the assigned topic. Essential questions do not have obvious correct answers and inspire higher-order thinking, such as analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating. As the week progresses, students will respond to questions and discussion posts as appropriate. In this way students gain experience managing an asynchronous online discussion. At the end of the week students will summarize the group s discussion and post 4-6 key points in a bulleted format on the Group Discussion Summaries discussion board. In this way students gain experience summarizing an asynchronous online discussion. Task #2 Participating Regularly in Group Discussions [12 points] Students are expected to participate regularly in weekly group discussions. In order to succeed in this class, students should plan to check the class discussion boards often during each week. Each discussion board will be open for one week only, after which it will be locked. During some weeks, there may be more than one group discussion topic. Students are

13 required to participate in all group discussions. Students are encouraged to keep up with the discussions each week. Participation will be assessed based on the student s substantive contribution to the discussion; i.e. quality not quantity of postings. Credit will not be given for short, perfunctory messages (i.e. Me, too, or I agree ). Neither will credit be given for long, rambling posts that go offtopic. Each week, students should contribute a minimum/maximum of one original posting and one response to a group member s posting per discussion topic. Students may include in their postings reflections on activities or presentations, critiques of assigned readings, and personal anecdotes of the impact of the discussion topic in an educational setting, etc. Postings should be limited to one or two paragraphs. NOTE: The course instructor will monitor all discussion and may occasionally participate by offering comments to correct any misinformation or false perceptions, provide relevant anecdotes, and/or give informative feedback.
