Week 4- Summer of Learning 2.0- Final Countdown

Happy 4th of July.  Here's next week's blog post to get a head start on your final legs of the journey!

________________________________________________________________________

This week's topics are Formative Assessment and anytime/anywhere learning.  You're going to be taking an assessment via socrative, participating in a padlet and using Flubaroo.  You will also be choosing to attend the conference session of your choice while in your PJs!

Formative Assessment
There are many web tools out there, but we will dip our toes in the water by experimenting with three tools that are solidly in the lead (in my book, anyway)-  Google Forms and Flubaroo, Socrative and Padlet.

Professional Development in your PJs
The site featured on the wiki for this week is K12online.org, but there are additional resources online. You can google or youtube (yes, I just used both words as verbs) any topic, find conference handouts on the presenter's website, or follow a Twitter #hashtag. What sets the k12 online conference apart is that there are years of resources in one place. It's a "flipped" conference. 

Mark your calendars, the 2013 conference is taking place in October. Stay tuned! Also posted this week is your final assignment, a digital story reflecting your experience on this journey. Details are on the wiki. So, here is what's left of this course... 

1. Formative Assessment
2. Online conference
3. Digital story-due July 22 
4. Hot topics in EdTech 

All work must be completed by July 22, 2013.

Please continue to use your Twitter and Google+ professional learning networks.  If you post to Twitter, use #d113Learning20.  Make sure your Twitter profile is set to public so that your Tweets are searchable and visible to the group.

Week 7- Formative Assessment

This week is about Formative Assessment.  You're going to be taking a couple of quizzes, but they are formative, so they don't count as a "grade".

There are many web tools out there, but we will dip our toes in the water by experimenting with three tools that are solidly in the lead (in my book, anyway)-  Google Forms and Flubaroo, Socrative and Padlet.

The "wall" embedded in this post is a Padlet wall.  It was created in less than 3 minutes.  Padlet is a quick and easy tool for creating formative assessments.  A Padlet wall can be used as an exit slip, poll or whatever your imagination can dream up.  

Before moving on to this week's Activity, please click below and add your comments to this Padlet "wall".

2. Add your name and title of your post.
