Task: As you come into class, please pick up the papers on the sideboard. We'll spend the first few minutes of class setting up your HWC notebook.
Then, we'll start creating a "toolbox" that promotes effective collection and organization of information. 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 joining the class blog and the Moodle. Today, each of you will set up your GoogleCalendar. You will also join Diigo (http://www.diigo.com/) and the "SVHS HWC '13-'14" Diigo group (https://groups.diigo.com/group/svhs-13_14). Diigo is a free social-bookmarking, research, and knowledge sharing tool that allows annotation and tagging.
As we begin our first collaborative project, we will take advantage of this opportunity to discuss the differences between collaboration, cooperation, and copying. Further, we'll spend some time discussing the ethics of learning.
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 tomorrow's quiz.
