Updated plan during reading days
2010
I just wanted to post a few reminders and an updated schedule for winding up unit one.
Turning in Posters and Copyright papers
According to my list, most of you are turning in either the poster or the copyright paper on Thursday. If you are turning an assignment in Thursday and have not let me know yet, please do so by the end of class today. You will turn your assignment in Thursday by 5:00 pm to the metal bin to the right of my office door (Eddy 330). At 5:00 pm I will collect all the papers and posters. If I am expecting an assignment from you and it is not there because it got lost somehow, I will email you immediately to let you know, and you must be able to successfully email me your assignment by 8:00 pm in order for it to be considered on time. This means that you must maintain an electronic copy of your poster and copyright paper! Even if you successfully submit a hard copy of your assignment, you will still need the electronic copy so that you can include it in your personal website, the unit two project.
Blogs grade reports and due dates
Everyone should have received a blog grade report and comments from me this morning via email. If you did not, please let me know ASAP so I can resend it. If you were waiting for your report before posting your fourth post (due Oct. 1), I will give you full credit for it as long as it is posted by the end of the day tomorrow, Wednesday, October 6. Remember that you have your fifth blog post due this Friday. Additionally, in some of the blog comments I indicated that I would regrade a post or about page if you revised. Those revisions are due Friday at noon along with your fifth post. Please email me to let me know if you make any of suggested revisions so I know to reread.
Web 2.0 research project
I am still grading annotations, and I apologize for taking so long with this. This is the first semester I have structured the annotation portion of this assignment this way, and it is taking much longer than I thought to get through them all. Now that all the presentations are done, I will tally up each student’s grade on the whole project and send it out in an individual email. You will still have a chance to revise annotations four and five and make any changes I suggested for the overall blog in the group comments you received last week. My plan is to get your scores to you by Friday so that you have the weekend to make any revisions. Exact revision due dates will accompany the grade sheets.
Web tutorials
Over reading days, your primary job is to work through the W3Schools HTML and CSS tutorials and write your summary of what you learned. We will spend time in class learning both of these coding languages, so don’t worry if you don’t understand everything. You also have one article to read for Tuesday, October 12, so see the daily schedule for the link.
Group evaluation forms
Please submit your group evaluation form for the presentation portion of the Web 2.0 project. You can email it to me by the end of the week. Your incentive for doing so is up to 5 bonus points on the project.
