Take-Home Assignment

Write a short essay (2-3 pages) on what you have learned from this session. Describe how you plan to
incorporate Web 2.0 into your classroom instruction with examples.

Please follow the assignment submission instructions given to you by your instructor. Some instructors
may ask you to email the assignment to them and others may prefer that you turn in a paper copy of
your work. Or, some instructors may ask you to submit your work via Beachboard. When in doubt, email
your instructor to ask how to submit your work.
