The process of building my digital story will require that I complete a storyboard and script as prewriting activities, incorporate digital images, record narration, add a soundtrack, and link my 2-4 minute movie to my Wiki. I will register for a blog with Edublogs. There will be several required blog entries. Be mindful of language, content, and any media that is used in the blog. The first entry will address my experience with technology.

**Reading Presentation: due date: Weekly** Each week, one person will lead the discussion on the readings as well as present a short ppt of the reading to the class, followed by a whole class discussion.

**Reading Discussions: due date: Weekly** In the textbook, before each chapter, there are questions to help with guided reading. After reading the chapter I will come to class prepared to be able to answer questions with the class.

**Digital Library: due date: 4/22** Using a tool called Delicious, I will create a digital library. The advantage to using Delicious: creating a collection of resources that can be used in a classroom and an ability to share resources with other teachers. I am expected to make 2-3 entries a week and should have at least 30 entries when this is due. These will be time stamped so I am unable to wait until the last minute.

I will have a fully developed Wiki with a homepage, assignment page, and two page of my choice. This will all be completed by the end of the semester.
