week/deadline #3

Whew...hopefully you all are starting to get into the swing of some of these crazy technologies. Of course, feel free to ask me questions. I'll be getting the podcast up by the end of today and hopefully grading done over the next couple of days. :-)

• listen to weekly podcast: you now have options, it is posted at Gabcast or on MCC's iTunes U (it does take a few extra days to get the iTunesU posted, I have to send it to Andrew in IT.)
• course build: Share document with entire class (Google Docs) of a complete draft of your course outline/schedule, comment on a least a couple classmates. Do try to be as detailed as possible. I shared with you all my draft of the course schedule. If you got into your Google Docs and check it, you'll notice that I've just continued to add detail as the course progresses (ie, as I build it just ahead of you!)
• blog entry: reflection on learning from week ("ahhs" "oohs" and "wows") and briefly discuss course content (a "scholarly" blog) you found
  
• wiki entry: add a new article about copyright and online learning (notice the new copyright page in the wiki)
• find course content: Find some "scholarly" blogs related to your course content. If you want to search for specific blogs about a topic, use these blog search tools:
  • Blogarama (http://www.blogarama.com/)
  • Feedster (http://feedster.com/)
  • Technorati (http://www.technorati.com/)
  • Google Blog Search (http://blogsearch.google.com/

iGoogle: Use iGoogle as an RSS aggregator, subscribe to the course podcast, the course blog, subscribe other blogs about distance learning, etc... Bad news :-( I have learned after the fact that I do not see your changes to your iGoogle pages. So, every week after you change your iGoogle page, you'll need to re-share it with me @ shelley.rodrigo@gmail.com. I'm sorry!

Check out this visual representation of a course curriculum! You could always make yours visual instead of outline; however, it might not allow for the level of detail that is helpful while you are building.
