Betsy, Your Unit on Lifelong Learning was great I like the way you set up the introduction. This clearly stated your goals and objectives for the unit, and what outcomes you hoped for. You incorporated Web 2.0 Tools into your unit, such as Citrix Go-To-Meeting (which I have never heard of, and plan to look into further), GoogleDocs, GoogleSpreadsheets, GoogleReader, Delicious, and Blogger. Your unit was very detailed, with many activities. In the first lesson, group presentation, assessment was conducted using a rubric, provided in advance for students to follow. In Lesson Three, you used self assessment. Collaboration was used as a focus in your unit in order to create a constructivist learning environment. I think your Unit was great, but I was slightly confused during it. ! One random thing I noticed is that Andy's Presentation did not state AM or PM for the time. There was also a lot on each page, and I almost felt overwhelmed. Otherwise, you did a great job! Melissa

Doug, I reviewed your first lesson in your Unit. I really like the way you incorporated the powerpoint into your presentation. It specifically detailed the goals of each activity in Lesson 1. Your lesson is on Web/Social Aggregators such as iGoogle. I like that you allow participants to log into your iGoogle, but I think they would benefit from creating one on their own. Your lesson also has three parts, of which only the first Activity seems to be detailed. Collaboration with others is mentioned, but never specifically detailed on how it will be conducted. The standards are detailed fully in your Unit Plan on task stream, but your implementation is confusing. I like your idea of teaching 21st century skills to teachers, but I think you could have incorporated more collaboration, web 2.0 tools, and assessment. I think you did a great job putting it all together, it just wasn't quite complete. Melissa

Adrianna, In your unit, you included many web 2.0 tools such as: Blogger, Diigo, Google Docs, iGoogle, Twitter, Voice Thread, and Webspiration. In Lesson One, you incorporated Twitter for discussions. Group Discussions help create a connectivist structure to learning by allowing students to collaborate. You also had students create an iGoogle account, which allows them to create a central location for all of the tools required in the unit. A group blogger was also incorporated into the lesson. Students are asked to share the blog with the instructor and reflect what they learned, but it seemed the reflections were more individual than group. Your content on Dental Materials was well formed and you provided a lot of information, in very nice powerpoint presentations. It showed you put a lot of work into your unit. I feel you could have provided more assessment, but personal reflection is always a good form of assessment. I am somewhat confused on the blogger assignment, as it says to create a group blog, but the questions are more personal than group oriented. Melissa
