Hi,
Again, great usage of the space, detailed information about what the learners will use, learn, and create. I find this page, in reference to the requirements, quite informative. The objectives are aligned specifically with the assignments. There is also a purpose given which I feel is important for any course that wishes to engage its students.
Hi,
First of all, WOW. This appears to be an outstanding project. I must tell you that your introduction promises a journey of learning. It is well organized. It includes various tools such as a feed, blog, and social bookmarking. The graphics really speak for themselves. Outstanding!
Hi Dennis,
Although this assignment looks interesting, I would have probably like to have seen the website or as Susan mentioned, had a screenshot. Based on the information given, however, it appears that this assigment again places the students/learners in charge of their learning, introduces the various gadgets that are located on the web and through popular websites, etc. Based on further reading, it does appear to be iGoogle but I could be wrong. If so, iGoogle is the ultimate PLE that I have seen thus far. This is a great assignment that connects, collaborates, and teaches. Good job.
Hi Dennis,
In this lesson, you have indeed connected the learners and created opportunities for their learning to "snowball." Some students may be just instructed to use one form of Google docs alone, but in this lesson,you have instructed the students to collaborate and you have instructed them to share what they have with the workshop class, which could lead to more learning opportunities. Good job.

Hi Dennis,
It appears that this webpage is structured to support the usage of the various tools created and maintained by Google. It is imperative that individuals get the most of these tools because they do have such a great impact for productivity, communication, and collaboration. I see that you have incorporated videos, as well as step by-step instructions, which is great to accommodate the various learners. The assignments place the students at the center of their own learnng, fulfilling the Constructivist learning theory. Finally, as stated earlier, you are teaching tools that not only support the various needs of the user, but that also allow the user to share and collaborate important information. Good job.

Hi Dennis, I love the picture and simple yet inviting introduction. I like houses and websites that dont have clutter. You have a brief yet informative introduction and an immediate layout and navigation for your website. I love the picture. It really relates to the website. Good intro.

Hi are you referring to the tools that are present in Microsoft Word,etc? If so, I agree that it doesn't offer enough individual creations. There are some limitations in this tool. I personally feel that it will not replace the popular word processing programs unless it includes the tools that allow for individualized creation.
