Research+Paper-Project+Responsiblities

Jennifer- I think we have decided to focus on Blogging and Podcasting in English since those two lend themselves nicely to our subjcet, correct?

I will take researh on blogging, and I believe you want to focus on podcasting. I will add anything I come across on podcasting for you to view.

Kim--Thanks. There is one particular article that I added that focuses on blogs, wikis and podcasts so I posted that as well. I think we have more than enough resources to get our paper finished.

Thanks. I am going to try to get started on my portion today. I'd like to have a few pages done by the end of Sunday. What are you thinking?

Also, Do you want to write this in Google Docs or on this Wiki? We also have to use Diigo (I'd like to use that since we already have one) for some resources. Not sure about that since we already have them here...

I'd like to write my portion about Blogging in education to begin with, with an emphasis on how blogging influences writing. Since we teach English, I though it would be a good angle. Is that ok?

Kim, I started writing my half in Google Docs, but then cut and pasted it to Word because I was able to work faster in Word. I will convert it to a Google Document tomorrow to share with you.

Also, as far as Diigo. I know that I probably saved some bookmarks about podcasting on Diigo, but i'm not sure what we exactly have to do about using it.

My half of the paper starts with a general introduction about how both education and technology are constantly changing and evolving and how educators have to keep themselves current (I refer to digital natives and digital immigrants, etc.)

I get into the general reasons why podcasts can be useful and then specific cite a few ways university professors are utlizing podcasts in their courses and how I can and would apply this to my own classroom. (this is about a page and a half -perhaps more).

In the next part I discuss the benefits of having students create podcasts. That's probably going to take me until the end.

Sound okay?
 * Update: 11.15.11**

Kim, I sent my portion of the paper to you via Google Docs. I know there are changes I probably need to make to have it fit with your half. Let me know what you think and we can talk soon. in
 * 11.17.11**

Kim, I shard the title page with you via Google Docs. I created a title--let me know what you think of it (if you want to change it, not a problem). If there is anything else you would like me to do (Resources page, etc.) Please let me know.

11-17 Jennifer, I got the title page. It's great. I finished my citations to match yours and the APA format. I think the paper is ready to be combined. Let me know what you think. I thought your half looked great. We have the same basic style!

11-18 Kim, Thanks for matching up the citations. I completed the resources page and double spaced everything. Good job partner!
