Summative? Other?)<br/>6. What aspects of your students do you consider in planning for technology use? Gender, technical ability, <br/> access, etc.?<br/>7. What aspects of your students do you consider in planning for OSM use? Gender, technical ability, <br/> access, etc.?<br/>8.

I have started using discussion boards using Sharepoint to have online literature circles. Students were placed into small groups, and I set up a discussion board for each group, a "book talk" group that only that particular group (and myself) could access and contribute to. I found many of the students provided much deeper reflections online than they did in the live classroom discussions, which they also engaged in. It was very interesting to me, because many of the students were much more willing to share details about their lives within the online forum, and draw connections to the novel. Why do you think this might be?<div><br/></div>
<div>I'm also interested to hear other ways teachers are using discussion boards in their classrooms... this experience has made me eager to try other uses for the technology.</div> Bryant & Stratton Online Certificate Program Webinartag:www.classroom20.com,2010-03-02:649749:Topic:4419392010-03-02T23:33:17.065ZCTCSGhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/CrystalThomas

<br />
For those of you who are still trying to figure out what all of this means let me explain...<br />
Supercool School just opened up its platform in an effort to allow everyone to create their own next generation online school.<br />
We want to do for education what blogging has done for publishing - democratize and decentralize it! Check out some examples of how people use Supercool School:<br />
<br />
- <b>StartupSchool</b> - A global entrepreneurship school that allows founders to teach other founders<br />
- <b>Nachhilfe 2.0</b> - A tutoring school that aims to bring down the cost for test prep tutoring in Germany<br />
- <b>Howard Rheingold's School</b> - The famous Howard Rheingold is going to be using Supercool School in the classes he teaches in Berkley & Stanford<br />
- <b>Business Cum Academia</b> - An invite only global campus-based student initiative<br />
<br />
There are already over 30 online schools that run on our platform and we're excited to see more innovative use of our technology.<br />
There are a million different online schools that could launch in the next years and we're looking forward to each and every one of them :))!<br />
<br />
<p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1798928130?profile=original" alt=""/></p>
<br />
<br />
So here's what you can do to be part of this movement:<br />
- Spread the word (blog about us, tweet, share the link on facebook etc)<br />
- Start your own online school Click <a href="http://supercoolschool.com/Chooseplan.php" target="_blank">here</a> to get started or <a href="http://supercoolschool.com/Tour.php" target="_blank">Take The Tour</a><br />
- Give us feedback and let us know what you think about this new idea in online education :)<br />
<br />
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions ...<br />

Seeing a presentation planned about an online resource "All About Explorers" on this site for Wed. evening, I perused the site to see if it met the needs of my students with "world explorers" type topics.

Seeing a presentation planned about an online resource "All About Explorers" on this site for Wed. evening, I perused the site to see if it met the needs of my students with "world explorers" type topics. The front page is lovely and the subtopics seemed on point, although sourcing was absent on the pages I saw. The "copyright notice" page made a generic claim that all the content was the authors' own, although I am not familiar with any webmasters who traveled with Jacques Cartier, Christopher Columbus, et al., so I'm interested in hearing how this content was obtained without reference to any research records.<br />
When I turned to the "Site Authors" page, the names, degrees, and areas of expertise cited for the authors has caused me to revise my original plans for this resource. The "for teachers" page conveniently provides a "Web Site Evaluation" form that approaches some of the concerns raised on this site. Thus, if I use this site with my students, it will be as an exemplar of sites unsuitable for academic study.<br />
As a newbie on Classroom 2.0 (although not with academic research and internet tools), I'm looking forward to other presentations and discussions on this site. Based on the "Real Story" biographies of the site authors, I expect that future revisions of this site will add the elements needed to demonstrate basic source attribution (i.e. citations, bibliography, etc.) which we should be modeling for the "digital natives" we are teaching. Few realize that information that is paraphrased from another's work isn't "original" and still requires acknowledgment; and it's all too common to find online images, maps, and text copied and pasted as is.<br />
I hope that our discussions can incorporate ideas for conveying respect for intellectual property and the value of scholarly research standards (leaving a "breadcrumb trail" to show our readers how we built up our final project).

Hello! I will be working on a new professional development program that will offer CE courses for online instructors. I would love to get some input from other online instructors about what they think is important in the training of new online teachers and topics that would be of interest to more experienced online teachers. Does anyone have some ideas?
