EDCI 270 Project 2: Use of Web 2.

0 Apps Planning and Assessment Guide

Purpose of this project: In the information age that we are currently living within, there is more and more need to find applications that help us in our daily lives. For example, most of you will be familiar with Web 2.0 applications that focus on social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter). Many of you are also familiar with other Web 2.0 applications such as YouTube, Pinterest, or Google Docs. There are literally hundreds of these applications that are now available for all kinds of different tasks (for a review of many of these apps, go to http://www.web2insite.com). The purpose of this project is to help you become more knowledgeable and acquainted with one or more of these apps that have been found to be very helpful. (Example: http://lexiecosta.weebly.com/workout-7.html)
How will this project be completed?

Explore each these Web 2.0 applications: Glogster (www.edu.glogster.com)you can create interactive posters Jing (www.techsmith.com/jing)you can create videos of the computer screen Prezi (www.prezi.com)presentation software (like what PPT does, but in a different manner) Toondoo (www.toondoo.com)you can create cartoons to teach concepts PowToon (http://www.powtoon.com/)you can create animated videos and presentations Select a minimum of three of these applications and develop a short/small theme based instructional activity using those selected applications. For example, if your theme is art history then you may want to consider using Jing to create a short video that walks students through a section of the Musee du Louvres web site. Or you may want to create an interactive poster with Glogster that would describe and illustrate the works of specific artists of the 18th century. Or you may want to create a short Prezi presentation of the different brush techniques of the artists of the Renaissance. Or even a PowToon for two artists discussing the work of a different artist. NOTE: You can create three different instructional activities and use a different Web 2.0 app in each of the different activities or you can develop one instructional activity and present it 3 different times using a different app to show how that specific app would be used with that same activity. Post links to your Project 2 instructional activities on your Project 1 website and include a description of the context in which you would use each of the instructional activities that you created. On your blog page of your website (Project 1), make a minimum of two posts: 1) Your thoughts and ideas of how each of these five Web 2.0 applications could be used in your future classroom, training, or work environment and your opinion if you would ever really use such software. 2) A specific post about your experience of developing your instructional activity(ies) using each of your selected three different Web 2.0 apps

There are a total of 3 different apps being used (NOTE: either one instructional activity that is repeated with a different Web 2.0 app being integrated on each different use OR 3 different instructional activities were developed and each has a different Web 2.0 app integrated within it.) For each activity, you should provide the specific context that each instructional activity will be used. Specifically, along with a link to your activities, you should include the following information on your Project 1 website: Score____________

a description of the intended learners and environment for which the activity
was designed an explanation of how the activity will be used in a specific lesson specific standards that the activity addresses

_____ Linked to Project 1 (10 pts. possible) Each of the activities embedded/linked/attached to the Project 1 website. _____ Narrative blog posts (20 pts. possible) A minimum of two well written, clear posts were made on the Project 1 blog page that discussed the use of the 5 designated Web 2.0 applications and specifically what was created using three of those apps.
