Web 2.0: Finding a Web 2.0 Tool...In Class Assignment May 29
As we have been discussing, there are numerous Web 2.0 tools out there. Examples are: Google Docs, Blogs, Diigo, Wallwisher, Voki, Blabberize, Glogster, Live Binders and many many more!
Your task is to research Web 2.0 tools and how you would utilize the tool in specific academic content area. You can not choose Google Docs, Blogger, or Voki.
Here are 3 sites to begin your research:
Create a New Post on Your Blog with:
1) The Web 2.0 Tool, Subject & Teacher you will use it for
2) How you will use it specifically
3) How it will help you to learn the content/lesson/unit, and any other information you want to include.
You may have to use the tool 1st in order to decide if it's a good fit for you. I will know if you haven't and I will know if you copy and paste.

Web 2.0: All About Jing & Blog Tour Assignment
"Jing is a screencasting software launched in 2007 as Jing Project by the TechSmith Corporation. It is currently in version 2.1.9181 and is free to download and use. The software takes a picture or video of the user's computer screen and uploads it to the Web, FTP, computer or clipboard. A URL is automatically created and can be shared with others to view or access the uploaded file. Jing is compatible with Macintosh and Windows. Its simple format and the ability to upload screencasts in SWF format for viewing at screencast.com has made it useful for virtual reference in libraries."
If Jing is not installed on the laptop you are using, go to the Jing website and download the free Jing software. Install this software on your computer. You may also want to use your own computer for the final project so you can download it there too.
The Jing website provides a great deal of help in getting started. Here is a good overview of Jing.
Here are several YouTube videos about using Jing:
Please view all the instructions on the Jing website - and then contact Mr. Porfido if you still have questions about getting started.

Web 2.0: Social Bookmarking Project
Social Bookmarking
Organizing digital information is becoming a big challenge as people continue to use the World Wide Web in news ways. The ability to recall the locations of favorite web sites, digital pictures, or important documents and email messages is crucial as the amount of data stored on both personal computers and the WWW increases.
Storing photographs or documents in folders on your personal computers is one way to categorize and locate information. Under this scheme, you might organize your digital pictures on your personal computer in folders according to the years that you took them, and then store related photos in folders beneath each year.
What's another way we can organize your computers? What about email? Your Favorite Websites? Your Blog Posts? RSS Feeds? Reply to this post with specific ways, websites that can help you, and anything else you would want to add.
Assignment:
1) Set up an account on Diigo.
2) Go to: http://groups.diigo.com/group/porfido and apply to be a group member (on right)
3) Save at least 20 total specific websites on Diigo using whichever tags appear to be the most useful if you had to do 4 reports or research (5 from each topic you choose) each of the following topics:
- The NFL Bounties OR the NHL Playoffs
- The NBA Playoffs
- School Bullying Laws
- Same Sex Marriage (High School Only can choose this one topic)
- 2012 Presidential Race
- Facebook IPO
- Counterterrorism and Homeland Security
5) Then you must add the site to the group Porfido (after you have been accepted membership).
6) Feel free to add other bookmarks to be used for personal use and continue using Diigo!
If you do not have 20 bookmarks (with tags & a description) added to the group Porfido before class on 5/21/2012 you will not get credit.
