Week 1 Missions

 

Mission 1, Get Started with Google+ Communities and Listly

 

1st.  Join our GooglePlus Community where you turn in tasks and the discussions take place. This is where our discussions will take place and where you will post your completed missions. Please read these COMMUNITY GUIDELINES. Short URL http://bit.ly/ebookevoguidelines 

 

2nd. Once you are approved, please post a hello message in the Welcome thread. Click here to go directly to that thread.

 

3rd. Register for a free Listly account. This is optional. However, this will be our e-portfolio and bookmarking tool. This is where we will pin our work, reflections, readings and resources throughout the session as well as where we will showcase your published ebook chapters. Listly is a social bookmarking tool.

 

Why Listly?

 

We use Listly to highlight content, good design, and books that we believe would be incredibly useful or refreshing. If you are on Listly, you can add to anyone's List of Bookmarks. We use Listly because it offers a way for YOU to add anything to our Lists.

 

 

You do not need to join this wiki. It is only a place where we post the tasks and tutorials.

 


 

Mission 2, Days 1-3: Post Your 3,2,1 Introduction

 

1st. Once you join the Google Community, please post your 321 Introduction in the thread titled 321 Introductions. Click here to go directly there. Use any of these tools, EbookEVO.pbworks.com/Webtools, to make a fun and interesting 321 Introduction.

2nd. Make sure to include in your presentation:

3  things we should know about you

2  of your favorite activities in the world

1  dream job you would have if you weren't in the field of education

 

3rd. Be Creative

Many learners respond to visuals and multimedia. Google Communities allow you to share video, images, and audio. You have a lot of freedom on how you would like to present the activity so be imaginative and creative. You could reuse this activity to introduce yourself to your students. We are looking forward to meeting you!

 

4th. Connect by Commenting

Mission 3, Jan. 5th to Day 2: Answer a Survey

 

Please fill out this survey so we can organize this session and also keep you updated. 

 


Mission 4, Days 3-5: Create a Creative Commons License for Your eTextbook

 

Our online textbooks will include material we have found on the Internet. We will include images, lesson ideas, articles, and materials created and shared by other individuals. Part of digital citizenship and literacy is that we have to responsibly use online materials. We want students to learn to respect copyright, and to identify where they found materials so we must model this. Creative Commons licensing has become a simple way for people to define how their images (and other works) can be used. In this task, we will learn about Creative Commons licenses and create one for our e-textbook. 

 

1st. Watch this slide show explaining Creative Commons. Generally, permission to use images ranges from pictures that are in the public domain (anyone can use them) to images that are copyright and require permission to use. Creative Commons licenses grant permission in advance. All Creative Commons licenses require attribution (meaning you have to credit the person who shared the image).

 

2nd. We can also use Creative Commons licenses to make it clear how our own work can be shared. For this task, create a Creative Commons License for your e-textbook:

 

3rd. Post which license you chose in the Wk 1 Creative Commons Discussion thread in the Google Community and respond to the following questions:

 

 

4th. Find Creative Commons images (stock as well), sounds, music, and video clips to include in your e-textbooks below. Feel free to contribute a resource we missed by adding it to our Creative Commons Listly Bookmarks


 

Mission 5, Days 4-6: Join a Peer Editing Group 

  

By the end of this session, you will have completed an outline for your e-textbook and Chapter 1. Throughout the process we will be receiving constructive peer feedback. We want to make sure the feedback is based on those who have experience with your age group and topic. Follow the steps below to join the right group.

 

1st. Create your "Hello" message

 

In your message, please include the following: 

 

2nd. Post your hello message in your group forum

 

Choose which of these groups to join and post your hello message there:
