Content: Your content is very well organized and appropriately meets the needs of your audience of faculty members. You have provided an online network learning environment. NLE Instructional Strategies: You integrated numerous NLE strategies such as Linkage Design, UGC, Agg, Mashup, Social Content Sharing, RSS, Par, Folk, and Network. This allows your faculty members to effectively interact and learn from one another. NLE Technologies: Your Web 2.0 tools were nicely integrated into your unit. You included Twitter, VoiceThread, Blogger, Delicious, RSS feeds, and Facebook. Evaluations: The way your unit was designed it does not appear that traditional lessons are available as they would not appropriately meet the needs of your audience. In your goals you included a checklist of expectations for participants as a means for evaluation. This should be a very effective method, but I did not find it on your site. Was it there or is the checklist something faculty members would receive ahead of time? Also, you might want to include a survey to evaluate your instructional strategies and technologies. Great job Jinnette! Your unit was very cohesive, and it appears that it will work effectively as a way for faculty members to communicate with each other. Thanks for sharing!

The content presented about careers and future education options is very appropriate for the intended audience of high school seniors. NLE instructional strategies are present through Par, UGC, and CC. These strategies work together to support student learning. Many NLE technologies such as Delicious, Google Documents, Google Calendar, blogging, and Twitter are implemented in this unit. These Web 2.0 tools create a learning environment for students to work successfully. The use of peer review for lesson 1's product as well as the feedback in lesson 2 allows students to collaborate with one another and extend their ideas. The rubric for lesson 1 provides students the opportunity to be aware of expectations ahead of time, and then it effectively evaluates the final product. I did not see an instrument of evaluation for lesson 2 or 3. Be sure to include an instrument to measure the instructional strategies and technologies you are using. Overall, great job! The topic is very relevant and important to your target audience. If you plan on using this in the future, I would add more details as well as additional evaluation methods for the other lessons. Thanks for sharing!

Esther, This sounds like a great way to communicate with another class. Would students be assigned to blog at certain times, or would you work on it as a whole class? Would you give them topics to write about, or will you let them choose?

This activity will allow students to learn about different cultures in our own country. I am curious how students will react.
