Objectives: Identify, explain, and begin using Web2.0 applications that will be used in HWC. Define history and the social sciences as they will be used in HWC.
Task: We're going to give our technology another try this morning and begin building our Web2.0 "toolbox." Today, each of you will join Diigo (http://www.diigo.com/) and the "SVHS HWC Fall 12" Diigo group. As a class, we'll tag and annotate our first source in the "SVHS HWC Fall 2012" Diigo group. Each of you will also set up a GoogleCalendar and a personalized GoogleReader to follow current events and this blog. I'll also show you how to use GoogleDocs and SlideRocket.
Finally, I'll be introducing your first collaborative project. Although GGS provides a common foundation for our understanding of history and culture, we need to establish a vocabulary from history and the social sciences to study world cultures. To do this, you'll participate in a jigsaw activity. To complete this project, you'll read and take notes on a chapter from A Civilization Primer and work with your group to create a unique, engaging presentation that explains the main ideas and vocabulary.
Homework:
- Study for GGS quiz
- Begin reading assigned section of A Civilization Primer (Reading notes, script, and storyboard (via GoogleDocs) due on Tuesday)
- Reading quiz on Chapter 1 of Globalization and Diversity on Friday, September 7
