Week Three (due
February 2)
Your third assignment is like
the second one. We will continue reading journal articles while we
are waiting to find the text book "Failure
to Connect" by Jane Healy. Find
another article, read it and write
a review/reflection but not in
Moodle. Write this one in in APA
format (basically doubled 10-12 point Times with 1" margins
on standard letter size). A part of this assignment is to use maybe
some little used features of Word, such as setting margins and adding
a header for page numbers.
You have read the article, you have compiled your
thoughts about the article so it will be easy to do the second part
of this assignment. Using Word again put your thoughts on a document
that is more like a poster, a promotional flyer with variations of
fonts and colors, and using some images. Include large bold fonts
for titles, smaller fonts for subtitles, and regular size font for
the body. Use images from the Internet, one you have created or from
the clipart in Word.
Again: you should be able to access the WOU library
from your home and find an article online. After going to www.wou.edu/library,
choose ERIC in the pop up menu by Articles under Find Information.
Then enter the keywords and watch for an article that fits your interest
and you can read online. You don't have to use the online process,
but the journal should be a professional journal with professional
educators and not a commercial magazine off the news stands.
For a topic this time, choose something around
education and technology but try to focus on your specialty, the subject
you hope to teach. For example, if you are a language arts teacher
wannabe, do your search with keywords like: technology or computer,
education, and language arts.
How about sending these two documents as attachments
to me as an email by February 2.
Week Four (due
February 9)
Hopefully you have found a
copy of the text book "Failure to Connect"
by Jane Healy. Hopefully you have also
started to realize we can make it through this class without losing
all our hair.
Your assignment is simply read the first
three chapters. It's not hard reading. Go to Moodle
in Week Four (January 26-January 30) and write your thoughts about
what you read. Return to Moodle and this forum several times to read
your classmates' comments and add additional comments.
Try to write your first comments by February
9.
