Golden Standard for Evaluating Websites

I am looking at your videos and grading them. I am looking for use of your golden standard and that the video includes attribution for the work of others.

Midterm

Well done! I have added the grading criteria to the bottom of your essays and will work on grading them over the next few days.

When you have time, please write a reflection of the exam...

How do you feel it went? How was the technology helpful?

How was the technology a barrier to showing what you have learnt?

How did the format of the exam and the question reflect what you have learnt over the semester?

To Cite or not to Cite, that is the Question

When do you need to cite? Make a blog post about the citation rules we covered in class today. Include your personal observations and examples that are meaningful to you.

10 marks for the rules.
20 marks for your personal observations and examples.

Due by next lesson.

Top 5 Google Tricks You Should Know...

Sharing our Google Know How

In groups, create a display for the bulletin boards in the PC Lab, the MAC Lab, Room 212 and the SLMC about how to use Google more efficiently by incorporating the techniques and strategies you have been trying out.

Remember to include when these techniques would be useful, how they are useful and how to use them.

The grading criteria for this are:

• Accurate description of the technique/strategy (5)
• Example of technique/strategy (5)
• Comparison of the Google results obtained using the technique/strategy to the Google results when doing a simple search (5)
• Description of when and why this technique/strategy would be useful in real life (5)

This is for each tip and  you need to include FIVE on your bulletin board.

Then, reflect on your blog about what you've learnt by making and embedding a VOKI!

Logical Fallacy Practice (and formative assessment)

 Over the Eid break please complete the following work:

(A) Choose one of the two unused topics on the Google Spreadsheet and create arguments for or against the topic that include at least one example of each of the 5 fallacies that we have explored in class.

Submit your work through a post on your blog. Each argument is worth 5 marks, the majority of these marks will be awarded for your construction of the fallacy, the remainder will be for your ability to write them well.

(B) Give your classmates feedback on their use of logical fallacies by leaving a comment on the blogposts (for this assignment) of two of your classmates.

Logical Fallacies

We are investigating 5 logical fallacies:

Ad Hominem (Personal Attack)
Appeal to Irrelevant Authority
Appeal to Pity
Hasty Generalisation
False Dilemma

Make copies of the following documents on the shared drive and annotate your copy with your answers to the problems:

Logical Fallacy Practice
Logical Fallacy Analysis

We will have a quiz about the 5 logical fallacies next class and spend some time coming up with our own.

The topics for your Logical Fallacy presentations are available on the shared drive along with the rubric. You will be presenting individually on October 13th.

Embedding your Voki

Your Voki should look like this, not a link!
