Class+Logistics



You will have the option for one of two forms of credit for this class: PDU or Recertification Credit. Recertification credit is provided at no cost. Please let us know which type of credit you are taking the course for. You can do one but not more than one. We are in the process of working through the logistics for Graduate level credit but at this time it is not yet available. Our goal will be to have this as an option before the end of the course.
 * Class Credit**

All participants will be choosing one of the above mentioned forms of credit for this class. The following items are expected:
 * EXPECTATIONS!!!!!**
 * Attendance at introductory and conclusion meetings
 * Completion of all assignments
 * Participation in online class blog discussions

Select the **Progress Chart** on the Navigation Bar (left) under Class Information. This will show you a spreadsheet ( 4 pages - so please make sure you select the correct page that includes the letter of your last name.. to find yourself). After you email one of the instructors to review your work on a Topic, we will then go into the spreadsheet and update it by filling in the space below your name and next to the assignment(s) you have completed.

The Web 2.0 tools that we will be exploring are always being updated/improved. Therefore the handouts/directions we have posted for you may be slightly different from the tool you are exploring if they have updated it. Have confidence in yourself to be able to troubleshoot the changes and/or use the discussion tab to ask questions.
 * Nature of the Web**

Each Module will be divided into specific sections. These sections are there to help guide your experience. ** INTRODUCTION: ** - Contains videos, basic descriptions of the web 2.0 tool - Expectations and requirements for the topics - Reminders of important information for the topic ** EXAMPLES: ** - Additional Links to explore to deepen your understanding of the topic - Respond to the Course __**Blog Post**__ - Record / save your username and password in a location you will remember. - Email the Lead Instructor once you have completed a module/topic, so we can review your work. - Use the Discussion Tab above if you get stuck or have questions that an instructor or fellow student in this class can help you answer - we are all part of your Personal Learning Community (PLC).
