Mid-Term Exam Information

Rationale

21st century learning expectations for students entering the work force include being a team player with information literacy skills that can be parlayed into presentation formats for global audiences. To that end, your mid-term ask you to continue to use the team-building skills you have been using in class and take them into the mid-term. For some sections of the mid-term, you may elect to work with 2--3 members of your team. For other sections, you are asked to work independently. The work that you create during the mid-term will eventually have a global audience of readers and listeners, and possibly even viewers. More to come about viewers in the .

Mid-Term Schedule / Timetable

Your exam is the second exam, from 9:35--10:55 on Wednesday, January 16. Your proctor is Miss Cotugno.
I recommend that you begin the preparation for your exam immediately. Why? Because all of these Web 2.0 tools take time to import/export. For some of them, you need to create a free account using your Gaggle email. Your work may be saved to the team's home page, if appropriate, or to one of your individual pages. The research component must be located on one of your individual pages. You may (and should) begin to:

• Survey: create an account with Freeonlinesurveys and begin drafting 5 questions for your survey [TEAM 2-3]
• Video: locate a video [possibly at home if you do not use DiscoveryStreaming] and convert it using Zamzarthen link to it [INDIVIDUAL]
• Research: research additional information, including 3 links and 1 image, about one of your pages/subtopics [INDIVIDUAL]
• Slide Show: locate 10 images that you insert into a slide show using Animoto, SlideShare, or PhotoStory [PhotoStory should be on computers in Lab 3 but if not, it's a fast download] [TEAM 2-3]

The work you begin during the exam period may be edited, revised, and/or completed at home, but all work for the mid-term must be completed by Thursday, 1-17, by 5 PM.
