Once you have logged into the wiki, please complete the following items: Work on the social media handout.

August 18, 2011
We will take up the social media pages that we did last class.

Why do we have a class wiki?

Then, we will log in together and work on creating a profile page on the wiki. 1. Make a new page for yourself by clicking on the New Page link at the top of the wiki (look to the left!) 2. The Page Name is your name. Don't add any tags. Click Create. 3. On this page, add the following information: Name, age, nationality, and your hobbies. Feel free to write more things about yourself as well. Note that the class will be able to access these pages. 4. Click Save. To access your page, you will need to Search in the Search box on the left side of the screen.

While you are waiting for your classmates to finish the tasks, please work on your typing. If you are a beginning typist, you should visit this website again and start at Stage 1. Work through the lessons in order to learn how to type properly.

After everyone is onto the wiki and has made a page, we will discuss social networking etiquette!

In the next class, we will reflect on the discussion about social networking. Be thinking about your opinion on social networking and its implications on people.

August 26, 2011
Today you will have the opportunity to finish up your profile page, if you have not had a chance to do so. Then, we will be talking about social networking etiquette.

Create a Word document to answer the following questions. (Start > Programs > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Word 2007) 1. What is social networking? Use the internet to find this answer if you are unsure. 2. What are some of the advantages of using social networking sites? 3. What are some of the dangers of using social networking sites? 4. What are some other considerations while you are using social networking sites?

When you have completed this, please save the file to your folder on the T: drive. If you can not access the T: drive, please save it on the H: drive.

We will then discuss this as a class, and you will have an opportunity to comment on it. While you are waiting, check out this website: []

**August 30, 2011**
We will go over some guidelines for our Google Docs accounts. Be aware that these guidelines will change and that misuse of your account may result in the loss of your account.

We will then log into our accounts at Google Documents Your account is the same as your username for the school network followed by @students.logoscambodia.org For example, Miss Hines' account would be lhines@logoscambodia.org (where lhines is her username for the school network).

After you have logged in, you may explore, if you have never used Google Documents. After you have explored for 2-3 minutes, you need to create a New Document (can you figure out how to do this?) and answer the questions from last class in this document. Hint: if you saved your answers in the last class, you don't have to re-write them! Give this document an appropriate name and share it with Miss Hines (can you figure out how to do this?) Miss Hines' email is lhines@logoscambodia.org

Once you have done this, you need to create a New Drawing. Share your drawing with a classmate who is also finished and see what happens when you both try to make changes to the drawing at the same time. What would this be useful for?

September 1, 2011
Log in to your Google Docs account. If your username is cseng, come and talk to Miss Hines.

Make a New Drawing. In this drawing, you need to make a personal logo. See Miss Hines' for an example. When you are done, you need to need to find two friends and the three of you will share your logos with You need to look at each others logos and make comments on the logos on Google Docs (on the drawing - use text boxes outside of the logo to do this). Remember to be positive while doing it, but feel free to give suggestions.
 * each other
 * Miss Hines

When you have done this, you may explore your account, including the email (remember that this is a privilege) and calendar sections and the other Google Documents possibilities. Please DO NOT create a website in the Sites section.

September 6, 2011
Log in to your Google Docs account. Some of you may need to see Miss Hines if your password was reset! Finish your logo and make sure that it is shared with the two other people in your group AND Miss Hines. Comment on the logos of the other people in your group (remember to keep it positive and encouraging).

Then you need to create a new document that will be shared with the other people in your group. In this document, you need to work together to write a story which will be illustrated with your logos. Note that you can all work on the story at one time, but some planning might be necessary to know where you're going!

September 13, 2011
You need to work on (finish!) your collaborative stories. Don't have a group? Come and talk to Miss Hines. Computer not working? Put up your hand and wait for Miss Hines. Can't get Google Docs to work? See if your neighbour can help you and if not, ask Miss Hines. It may be a problem that is difficult to solve. Forgotten your password? Ha! You're out of luck. No, actually, you'll need to be patient, but Miss Hines can help you with that too!

Here's what I'm looking for in your story: 1. You need to have shared it amongst 3 people (minimum - you can have more than 3 people) and Miss Hines (4 marks) 2. You must use the Logos as the illustrations for the story. (6 marks) Check this out for more details on how to do this: @http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=179708 3. Each person must have contributed to the story from their account (I can see this through Revision History). If you are sharing a computer, make sure you switch users part way through. (6 marks) 4. Your story must actually make sense. To get 4 marks here, you need to have a memorable story. To get 3 marks, it needs to be a good story. To get 2 marks, it needs to make sense, and if you made a story, I'll give you 1 mark. Total: /20 (each group member gets the same mark, since it is a collaborative assignment and you all have access to it!)

September 15, 2011
You need to aim to be finished your story by the end of today. It must be shared with at least 3 people and Miss Hines, and each person must have contributed from their own account. Read the guidelines for marking from the last class.

When you have finished this, we are going to start a project on Cyberbullying. Answer the following questions in a new Google Document called "Cyberbullying - name." (Put your name where it says name.) Share this document with Ms. Hines. Use the websites: @http://www.stopcyberbullying.org/ and @http://www.brainpop.com/technology/computersandinternet/cyberbullying/qanda.weml 1. What is cyberbullying? 2. Why do people cyberbully? 3. When is cyberbullying ok? 4. What are some things that you can do if you are being cyberbullied? 5. What is the best way to prove that you are being cyberbullied?

Then, try taking one of the quizzes found here: @http://www.brainpop.com/technology/computersandinternet/cyberbullying/quiz/

November 1, 2011
You need to have something to show Miss Hines by the end of this class, for your plan. It needs to be on paper. Once Miss Hines has approved your plan, you may start making pages using the main bubbles off of your topic.

When this is complete, make sure you have put sources at the bottom of every page, to say where you got that information from. When this is done, complete Task 5 on the website: []

November 22, 2011
We will start with a few minutes of typing practice: [|http://www.typingweb.com] Then we will continue to work on our websites. If you are finished your website, you may fill out a self-evaluation checklist to ensure that you have completed everything that is required. If you finish this, you may fill out a critique of someone else's website. You will be required to have two critiques completed by the end of the website portion of the course.

November 29, 2011 Your priorities for today: 1. Finish your website. 2. Fill out a self-assessment checklist for yourself. 3. Fill out two peer critiques for other people, and ensure that two peer critiques are done for your website. Give your peer critiques to Miss Hines. 4.

Miss Hines will provide you with account details later. If you are looking at the gallery, keep in mind that this is a non-Christian website and that not all of the videos are appropriate - in fact, looking at the gallery is not recommended.
