34. Let’s get
readyyyyy to
publish!!!!
I have a Weebly ePortfolio /
website… Now What?
Well, here comes the fun part now!!!!
Here are some things that you can do
with your new site
35. Collaborative projects
Collaboration teams post
•a detailed outline of their project
•a log of the conversation and decision-making that
went into constructing and executing the project
•a final presentation.
Each team should design its own assessment rubric
by editing a webpage to show all the features of an
excellent project.
36. Lexicon teams
* Each week, a team of students will edit a
page to collaboratively identify and define
key words and phrases from that week’s
readings and class discussion.
37. E-book teams
* Each week, a team of four students
works between meetings of class sessions
to update an enhanced e-book that
includes the notes, lexicon entries, and
mindmaps for that week, with graphics,
text, and live links.
* In addition, e-book teams develop a
webpage on best practices and
procedures.
38. Blog Reflections
* Students can be required to post a short (a few
sentences or a short paragraph) synopsis of each reading
in the student’s blog. Students can be requested to create
•a short dialog between the authors of each week’s texts
•list ways in which the subject of the texts could affect the
student’s life or society
•reflect on the implications of the texts for life online in the
future
•answer their own key questions from their own
perspective
39. Real-time note-taking
and backchannel
• Teams of four take notesto another team
note-taking handing off
using a real-time
every half hour, publishing their notes to
the class site after the end of the class
session.
• Students can use collaborative tools to
engage in parallel, relevant online
discussion in real time through the web,
Facebook, Twitter, or Facebook.
