Great interacive application that really promotes reflection. The ability to send it back to the 'expert' for comment could add a nice bit of learning in which the student group could further comment/refelct as a final task.
Great application! To add additional reflection if the 'expert' agrees, consider sending the group project to the expert for comment. The student group can then refelct on the comments to add greater meaning.
Students can share with the ETC community the different types of Web 2.0 tools that are available for them to use. There are so many tools out there that we are not aware of. Sharing this info with the ETC community will let them be aware of what is there and they will then decide what tool suits them the best.
The visuals I was referring to are images of the tools being used such as snapshots of the tools in use or maps on how they can be effective to student learning.
Students will fill Toobla folders with videos to use in group projects. Each student will pass a folder to a person in their group using the Group space in the wiki. The students will view the information in the videos and collaborate with one another using the discussion board of a wiki. By tweeting they will provide the group member with updates to their project.

Wouldn't Black Berry chat be syncrohous? I don't see it as a threaded discussion. I should add Learner-Content as well the chat is based on a specific learning task related to curriculum content.
Should this have been included in the Activity: Students participate in chat via a smart phone such as Black Berry or iPhone to compare notes while engaged in a field geography assignment in different locations at the same time.
They would be shared with the community of students. I just the ETC community as an example. I would hope that NLE implementation elsewhere involves a vital digital community of learners as well.
Can you elaborate? Am I missing strategies that need to be labeled? Or does my activity lack enough NLE strategies to be considered interactive? Thanks.
My thought is that the presentation would create an event where learners would need to present at the same moment. I was thinking that this is the differnce between synchronous and asynchronous but please let me know if I am wrong in that belief.
Suzy, I LOVE this idea. I have actually thought about having my kids create avatars as well. I think it would be neat to link it to a writing assignment where they have to describe their avatar. You could also have them post on VoiceThread and have other students make comments, etc.! Fun stuff! :)
