"Digital Citizenship" Group # 3 Tech Trio - Meeting 4

Group 3 met on WIZIQ at 5:30 - 6:30 pm Monday 02/23/09 to wrap up our discussion on previous topics from week # 4 and to dive into our week # 5 discussion topics.

We discussed valid internet search requests, digital citizenship, copyright info. and doing right by the information obtained through an internet search. We also discussed the features of Web 2.0, and the benefits of classroom blogging for teachers, students, parents.

We continued to work on our group wiki page on the "lit" wiki site by adding our personal website links, wiki links, and blog links. We created our Group Teacher Tool Box and will continually (through out the semester) add resourceful teacher tools to this wiki page.

Our group also briefly discussed upcoming assignments and scheduling of our upcoming group meeting.

We are looking forward to moving forward in this class! Now we have to reflect in out blogs and get ready for our whole classroom discussion for tonight.

Week 2 - Literacy and Technology

Week 2 - was spent reviewing the class Moodle site, tutorials on site, and familiarizing with WIZIQ.
In our first group meeting we used WIZIQ and got use to the program. I did not have a microphone, but ordered a Web Cam. Hopefully, the Web Cam will come in soon! Dr. Smirnova joined our first group meeting and assisted with volume control as we had a lot of muffled/echoing background noise. It's all a learning experience and we have a lot more learning to do!

Our group is group # 3 "Tech Trio". Maureen and Heather are in my group and I know we will work well together. Scheduling time is always a challenge but I'm sure we will make it work.

Got to go for now....so much to do for this class and have to figure out my wiki?!
