Dear SCICU class,
I have just caught up with grading, mostly Lessons 4, 5, and 6, but did go through each portfolio and graded a few late postings for Lesson 2 and 3 as well. You may access your grades as usual in the comments for each lesson post on your e-portfolio. I am sorry that I fell behind on grading, I need to do better.
A couple Lesson 6 posts were incomplete, missing the graph of survey results. Yet, I do know that those particular students did complete the graph in their spreadsheet. In this case, I am confused why it was not included in the post for Lesson 6.
Tomorrow may be our last class. However, I am looking forward to learning more about Zotero tomorrow, when you are teaching.
Best, Owen.
1. If you could start posting work and other kinds of information to your GDS Inbox by email, what kinds of information might you send? What purposes could this serve for you?
Click 'Upload' button to find your GDS email address. Add your GDS inbox to your list of contacts.
2. Tracking activity. If you could keep up to date on changes that collaborators make to shared documents, by adding the RSS of the documents to your GReader, what kinds of documents might you want to track? What purposes could this serve for you?
To see a document's RSS feed, open a document and click the Collaborate tab. Then, click "View RSS feed of document changes" (on the right side).
3. Personal knowledge database. Your Web research, as well as when you create documents in GDS, publish them to the WWW, tag them, and save them to Delicious is one way to map the knowledge centers of your brain. Each tag can represent a node of understanding and your tags visualise what you know, for yourself, and for others. In what different ways might a map of your brain be useful?
Please see Wikipedia "Tag Cloud". Click to make your own Delicious tag cloud. My Delicious 'brain' is shown in the post above.
