Task: Throughout the course, you will need to use several different Web2.0 applications to complete assignments. As global citizens in the 21st century, we need to create a "toolbox" that promotes effective and timely engagement with information and each other. You've already begun using the district provided e-mail account and joined the class blog and the Moodle. Today, each of you will also set up a GoogleCalendar and a personalized GoogleReader to follow current events and this blog. You will also join Diigo (http://www.diigo.com/) and the "SVHS HWC '12-'13" Diigo group (http://groups.diigo.com/group/svhs-hwc-fall-2012). Diigo is a free social-bookmarking, research, and knowledge sharing tool that allows annotation and tagging.
As we begin our studies, it is important to develop habits of mind that promote critical thinking. We'll spend some time defining critical thinking.Finally, we'll spend the last portion of class discussing and reviewing Guns, Germs, & Steel in small groups and as a whole class. These conversations will help you to identify main ideas and clarify your understanding in preparation for Friday's quiz.
