September 10 & 11, 2007
[Third Meeting]

Objectives: Use online search engines. Develop a familiarity with library research tools. Create personalized virtual spaces.

Classwork: Dr. Valenza will meet with us and instruct us with search engines, iGoogle and EduBlogs. I will create an iGoogle page and EduBlog. I am then to e-mail the address of my Blog to Mr. Alexander. Next, I have to create a section in my blog entitled //Assignments//, where I will upload each of my previous homework assignments.

Since I have been introduced to academic search engines, resource acquisition vehicles, iGoogle and EduBlogs; I am able to do a more thorough search. After executing a more thorough search, I am to refine the prompt: Identify the problem/conflict that I would care to investigate, for each of the five courses I have selected. On the Word document, //Topic Selection: College Courses 2,// I am to change the color of the prompt to the color red.

Homework: Assignment #3: The title of the assignment = //Topic Selection: College Courses 3// Due: before 7:45am the next school day. Assignment #4: Prioritize the top two topics/courses on which I have worked by coloring them orange in the Word document, //Topic Selection: College Courses 3.// The title of the assignment = //Topic Selection: College Courses 4// Due: the fourth class meeting.
