My goal for teaching the Internet in the Classroom class at
Penn State Great Valley is to motivate my students to "...think differently about their classrooms and the potentials of the technologies...in terms of pedagogy and curriculum" (p. viii, 2006,
Richardson), we will be discussing their classroom web portals this week. As I thought about what their classroom portals might look like (and some already have one), Web 2.0 is going to have a huge influence on the appearance, purpose, etc.
I will ask them 3 questions just to see the "sign of the times"
(Link to our Ning discussion.)1. Where is your web page hosted (include the URL and discuss if it is a district mandated issue)?
2. What is the purpose of your web page (or web site)?
3. How do you use your web page for instruction?
4. After this class, what changes will you make to your web page?
Here is the slideshare presentation that I will share with my students:

I was playing around with slideshare but wanted to have the kids go from ppt to podcast. I found this site authorstream which makes ppt into podcast or utube. They are doing sound Thursday and hopefully be done by Friday! So far, the authorstream(free) site has been really neat!!
I still really think the whole idea of slideshare is great. Have you used it often? Has there ever been any problems you have experienced with it? I am really considering putting all of my notes up on slideshare for my students to see at home, but I'm scared that they won't take any notes during class and not pay attention during class! Any suggestions?
