Correct me if I misunderstand the assignment...

As a group we need up to 10 main classes and each individual needs to contribute their 10 websites then each of us will have our own categories and sub-categories.

For the objective at hand, I agree that student resources, teacher resources, and lesson resources are a bit broad as our main classes; if you want to include them, they can be your categories or sub-categories. I also agree that our essential elements vary too much from one another to include as main classes. My vote for our group classes that each of us will have our own categories and sub-categories for are as follows:
1. Audio
2. Video
3. Picture
4. Written/Informative
5. Web 2.0 (We all have AT LEAST one Web 2.0 tool in our systems)

They are broad but they are also specific enough for all of us to use efficiently and effectively. These classes can be branched off into student resources, teacher resources, lesson resources, essential elements, etc.

Thoughts? We need to get this done...

Thanks Carolyn

I can't open you classification system because you have a newer version of inspiration than the one I have. Can you convert it into a PDF?

I especially like your branches off the Instructional sites and Learning sites classes. I would be curious to see your sub-categories for the professional development categories...

Videos, websites, and design are easily understood but I'm not quite sure what you mean by problems. I also have videos as one of my topics/categories/sub-categories...

I am clicking the link you provided but I am getting the following message:

I thought it was interesting how you divided instructional into three helper categories. I was glad to see you had a section for communication. Technology seems a bit broad; what do you have in mind?

I started very broad with my classification system and funneled it down into smaller, specific topics. I figured the broader I start, the more hits I will get when I conduct an internet search for my resources; the broader tags are more common among fellow taggers than specific tags. I broke my classification system into two main sections: Instructional and Learning…

The instructional branch will be the resources that help me teach while the learning branch will be resources tat help my students learn. The instructional sites are broken down into four categories: essential elements, content, web 2.0 tools, and collaboration. The essential elements are broken down into five of the essential elements I include in most of my lessons. The essential elements I included were activating strategies, tasks, formative assessments, informative, and summarizing assessments. Content includes the six units I teach my ninth-grade students which are Culture, Africa, Middle East, India, China, and Japan. Web 2.0 tools is broken down into audio, video, picture, and written, which are the main forms of web 2.0 tools I implement into my lessons. I broke down Collaboration into the six sub-categories of collaboration I can use to teach, starting at the local level and ending at the world level.

I broke learning down into the three main groups students use to learn in my class: individual, partner, or group. Each of those categories was broken down into the same four sub-categories: audio, video, picture, and written. The main categories share the same sub-categories because some sources could be utilized in a group task or partner task while other sources may be able to be used in either an individual task or partner task. The overlap allows me to be flexible from class-to-class or from year-to-year.

Please let me know if you CAN'T open my classification system...
