Project 2
This project consisted of an assortment of parts. I first made a job aid on the purpose and the ulility of Blogger, particularly within education. The job aid has 2 lesson plans that incorporate using Blogger in the classroom setting. I had a group of students that collaborated to make a finalized job aid with 5 lesson plans on a wiki. The wiki also consists of many other job aids for other Web 2.0 applications. I had reviewed 2 of this applications and wrote blog posts about them. Lastly, I wrote a narrative about what I learned through this experience. Overall, this project was extensive but helped introduce me to the challenge of working in groups online and discovering the variety of Web 2.0 applications and their potential educational value.
