Planning an Online Reading Class - Week 1 |
| Designed by Lucy MacDonald - http://www.lucyonline.com |
Note: Numbered items indicate which must be produced first. So although the students must say "Hello" in the discussion area, they need first to have the directions on how to do this on the web page. A similar matrix may help students to understand the integration of online and offlline activities.
The survey in the textbook (#7) has odd numbered answers in the textbook. Although initially I put the even numbered answers up online, students pleaded to have all the information in one place. Students liked the interactivity on the survey online. They can review the questions in their textbook and then get online, read the same questions and be able to post all their answers in one place and receive instant feedback.
