HWC10.11 Day 38 - Italian Renaissance & Columbian Exchange

Objectives:  Post research to the NetGenEd Diigo group and begin contributing to the NetGenEd2013 wiki.  Evaluate the social, cultural, and political changes of Europe between 1450 and 1700.  Analyze the process and impact of overseas expansion.

Task:  As you come into class, please pick up your computer and log-on to work on the NetGenEd project for the first 15 minutes of class.  Today's goal is to make at least one addition to the wiki.  For each edit to the wiki, be sure to "save with comment" and explain your contribution in the discussion thread.  Remember, you should be checking the wiki at least twice a day, continue posting resources to the Diigo group, and edit the wiki (see e-mail with reminders).

After we set the computers and your class materials aside, we'll check your knowledge of the capitals of Europe.  Once we've finished reviewing the Italian Renaissance, we'll spend about 20 minutes of class watching a video clip about the economic shift in the modern era.  Finally, you'll spend the last portion of class examining the impact of the Columbian exchange on the "Old World."
