As discussed throughout the quest, collecting or curating learning objects, resources, and learning material enriches the e-learning environment. Research and identify three tools that can be used to aggregate and present learning material, other than the two mentioned in the lesson. Post findings in your blog and include a brief description and the associated costs.
Tool 1: One of my favorite writing strategies that has been referenced in previous posts is the RAFT strategy. Students really seem to enjoy this writing format and when combined with a web 2.0 project, could result in some interesting pieces of work. Comic master is an excellent tool that allows students to enhance their creativity and writing abilities. Here is a project that would be appropriate for this tool.
Using Comic Master (http://www.comicmaster.org.uk/) complete the following assignment:
Role=Children's story writer
Audience=Little ones all over the world.
Format=Comic strip utilizing a minimum of 7 cells.
Task=Using the background of your favorite fairy tale, explain the concepts of reapportionment and redistricting to your audience.
Tool 2: Utilizing Block Posters (http://www.blockposters.com/), students will complete the following activity:
Role: FBI Agent
Audience: A concerned populace
Format: Wanted Poster
Task: Create a wanted poster for the concept Gerrymandering. Your poster should include a picture of the suspect and identifying characteristics.
Tool 3: Using Blogger (https://www.blogger.com/home), complete the following assignment:
Role: Political Blogger
Audience: The American Public
Format: Blog posting
Task: Create a blog in which you identify the leading Presidential candidates and begin a dialogue on the most qualified candidate.
