Multimedia Today!

As you can see... I am not here today.

That means today's participation is a quiz grade!
Part of it is based on the notes I receive when I get back, the rest is based on what you show me on your blog. If you don't blog today, the most you can get (even with a stellar report) is a 70.

Since I am not here today, we will have to wait to finish the presentations on Wednesday and Friday. So, what will you be doing today?

You have several tasks prepared for you.

1st- Take survey's from student's who presented last class if you haven't already (assuming you were here last class).

2nd- Using the illustration below, label each item (1-11) and whether it in input or output.


3rd- Web 2.0 Tool write up: We will be creating a database of web 2.0 tools for you and your peers. As you have had to research a Web 2.0 Tool and give a presentation of it, you should know yours pretty well. The main part of today's assignment is a write up on your Web 2.0 Tool. Structure of your write up into several sections, as shown below:

Name of Web 2.0 Tool
What: What is it?/What does it do?/What does it offer users? (include a screenshot)
Features: What's good about it? (include a screenshot)
Criticism: What issues or negatives are there?
Educational Use: How could this be useful to students, teachers, or in the classroom?
Link to Web 2.0 Tool.
Citations or Sources

You should have at least one paragraph per bolded section. So, at the very least, your write up should be four paragraphs. As always, use proper english. This means pay attention to your grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and etc.

4th- Cooliris
Check out Cooliris.
It can be used both on desktop machines like these, but also on mobile devices.
You can even put a Cooliris 3D Wall on your blog.


Play with Cooliris. Do you feel its just another search engine with a flashy appearance? Tell me what you think.

Try to post a Cooliris 3d Wall on your blog.
note: you will have to use an embed code just like with your surveys, and paste it into the 'edit html' tab of your blog.
