Sponge Activity: Mid-Course Evaluation and Preparing Technology (5 minutes)
Students will
begin by completing a two-minute
mid-course evaluation. Next, they will access their NetStorage
spaces. Each will create a file within their
home directory titled "public_html." Additionally, show students how to
access the class NetStorage
space so they may retrieve files.

Announce daily outline and objectives.
Student Lesson Plan II Presentations
(20 minutes)
Have all students
move to the front of the room. If they are presenting, they should
bring the materials they will need for the presentation and a writing
utensil. If not, they will need only a writing utensil. As they do
this,
prepare the digital video camera.
Hand out evaluation forms (have each student take three forms) and review the evaluation process. All students will evaluate every presentation except their own. They must include at least one strength and one recommended area for improvement for each presenter. After the presentations, assign one student to pass around a basket and have all students drop in their forms. Have the assigned student write the student’s name who presented on an envelope, place all the evaluations in the envelope, seal it, and give it to the student who presented.
Have students present in the order students signed-up to present. Each student will have 5 minutes to present his/her lesson and related materials. Use the timer to ensure they do not go too long.
After each student presents, encourage all remaining students to clap and allow about one minute to ask and answer questions and write comments. After all signed-up students complete their presentations, move to the front of the room and ask students:

- What have you liked/disliked about these lessons?
- What do you think the presenters did well and what could they improve?
- What elements of the lessons do you think would most motivate students and why?
Demonstration: Blog-Based Web Authoring and
Publishing
(30 minutes)
Review web
authoring using Blogger by
creating a simple wesbite. Then,
demonstrate web
publishing using NetStorage.
If time permits, have students begin developing their e-Portfolio template
If time permits, have students begin developing their e-Portfolio template
Closing (5 minutes)
- Review daily outline and objectives.
- Tell students about reading and quiz for next session.
- Review the lesson plan and lecture slides and procure a copy of the lecture notes from a classmate. Be sure to view all associated examples and videos.
- Prepare your e-Portfolio template.
- Review videos of lesson plans from four of your classmates who presented on this day (available in NetStorage under the class group account).
