Webliography Week 2 Assignment 1) Research three entries you might include. Each entry will include a brief description discussing: a) how such access may benefit student learning through local, on the ground services and b) the ways the website could be enhanced. You will select one website at the national level and two at the local level. Do not use any website that is already used in our course. 2) Submit a two or three page summarized document with references and websites, including a brief description for each website. In discussion with a parent or guardian, explain what kind of situation would you recommend these resources? This assignment should to be typewritten in MS Word. If you do not have MS Word, please convert to a PDF. When saving your files please follow this naming protocol: Last Name_Assignment_Date: (Smith_Chapter1_Jan8). All assignments should have a title page which inform the reader of your full name, assignment name, title (if applicable), class, date, and professor’s name. 3) Pick your best entry that you think contributes to our professional dialog and post it in the designated Discussion Forum called Webliography Sharing. Here are Frequently Asked Questions about the Webliography: What kinds of websites should I be looking for? They should be community or governmental agencies or have direct links to available community or local services, that are available at physical locations in the community. “Virtual-only” services, including blogs, social networking, informational websites, online teacher tools, lesson plan banks, etc are not the best choices and will likely not receive full credit. Also not so desirable are links to local paid businesses like tutoring services. What am I supposed to look for in the websites? Ask yourself: are there direct services available “on the ground” to students and their families that may enhance student learning in a diverse community? How? And: How might the website be improved to facilitate such access to community services or learning tools? Do I need to use APA for the references in my webliography? See the FAQ that was provided to the class in the Week 1 Important Information and also sent by email. APA is highly encouraged, but not required. Are there examples for me to look at? Yes, as usual! Look in the Important Information folder for this week. Required Text
