toc =Web 2.0 Unit Resources= Unit Resources using Web 2.0 ED 505 OL

For this assignment, choose a unit that you would teach in your classroom. Please have this topic approved by your professor BEFORE you begin this assignment. You will use this topic and its related topics or subtopics to create different resources using Web 2.0 tools. J. Ray--I am a little unclear on this assignment. Just so that I understand, they will be using these tools to create parts of their portfolio docs? Fowler--I have them do this early in the course so they have ideas beyond PPT, Word, Excel, and Publisher for their first Technology Lesson Plan which is due at midterm. I can certainly change this or delete it and just add these resources as things to review as part of the Technology Lesson Plan.

Concept Map of Unit
Go to either [|__https://bubbl.us/__] or [|__http://www.mywebspiration.com/__] and register for a FREE account. J. Ray--Unfortunately, mywebsirpation is no longer free. We might want to take this one off.

Using one of the mapping sites above, create a concept map of a topic you would teach to your students. The topic should be one from your course of study. (Alabama Courses of Study are located at ALEX [|__http://alex.state.al.us__] ) The map should have at least 5 subtopics and the subtopics should have at least one additional related concept.

Save the map as an image and submit it through Blackboard Assignments.
