Turning in assignments LATE, the consequences!

LATE WORK: Work is expected to be submitted on or before the due date. Points will be deducted for late work as follows........Think about it.....are you going to expect assignments to be submitted to you on time when you are a teacher?

NOTE: if not submitted on time, a ZERO is automatically entered in the grade book until the assignment is submitted., Yes, I will accept if late, however, points will be deducted.

If the assignment is worth.......

25 points……...….5 points deducted
50 points………..10 points deducted
100 points………20 points deducted
200 points………40 points deducted
More than one week late, the assignment will be worth 1/2 points automatically.

5 Digital Literacy Skills All Modern Learners Should Have

“Digital literacy involves more than the mere ability to use software or operate a digital device; it includes a large variety of complex cognitive, motor, sociological, and emotional skills, which users need in order to function effectively in digital environments … for example, ‘reading’ instructions from graphical displays in user interfaces; using digital reproduction to create new, meaningful materials from existing ones … evaluating the quality and validity of information and have a mature and realistic understanding of the ‘rules’ that prevail in the cyberspace.”
Professor Yoram Eshet, a leader in digital literacy research from the Open University of Israel

Week 2 begins August 28
If you do not have an iPad of your own, you will need to check one out from the College of Education during one of the SIX (6) check out sessions. There is no charge, this is a loaner, not a rental. You should have received this information several times already via email and at your enrollment.

Fall 2017: DED 318 On-Campus AND Online Classes
- An iPad is required for this course and your ALL your courses in the College of Education.
- You are encouraged to use your own iPad or you may check one out from the COE. There is no charge.
- If you need to check out an iPad, please plan to attend ONE of the sessions below
- Please make sure you know your K-State eiD and Apple ID login & passwords when you come to check out your iPad, and for class.
- If you do not already have an Apple ID, please create one BEFORE coming to the iPad checkout time: https://appleid.apple.com/account#!&page=create
- You will not be able to check out an iPad if you don’t have this information.
- If you cannot attend one the SIX session options, you will need to go to the Catalyst (Bluemont 016) as soon as possible and make an appointment to check out your iPad. You will need your iPad in DED318 immediately as well as in your other education classes. This must be done ASAP.

The tasks below can be completed on your iPad
or any computer!!

So You Know-1.png

_____________________________________________________

1. Add a selfie and an introduction (BIO) to your Canvas Profile
Make sure it is a picture of YOU only and it should be a head & shoulders close-up selfie (like a school picture)!! This photo will be visible for ALL your instructors/classes in Canvas, not just DED 318.

A good App to take CLEAN selfies with is Sticky-Al. It is actually an iPhone app but works on your iPad as well.

FACT: all iPhone apps work on your iPad. Here is a direct link to installing the FREE Sticky-Al app for taking your selfie.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sticky-ai/id1234178923?mt=8

Remember, a head & shoulders picture of YOU and only YOU!!

Additionally, write an introduction to who you are. What would you tell your students if you were introducing yourself to them? What do your instructors need and want to know about who you are?

Add your photo and Introduction via Canvas on the WEB.
https://k-state.instructure.com/
Login to Canvas with your eID & password.
Just update your profile, I will award the points AFTER the due date.
This should only take you about 5-10 minutes to complete! 10 points.

How-to update your profile & add the new picture you just took.

2. Join Remind

10 points - will take a couple minutes at most.
The Invite REMIND PDF contains the step-by-step instructions for how to join.

invite REMIND.pdf

Remind is something classroom teachers, coaches, activity sponsors, etc. are using and we will use it during the semester as a quick way for your instructor to communicate and to help you discover how Remind could be used in your own classroom!!
There is nothing to submit in Canvas, just join using the instructions in the Remind Invite PDF above. Remind gives me a list of names of those who have joined......so nothing to submit in Canvas.

_________________________________________________________

3. Join Pinterest

Yes, I really did say PINTEREST......10 points for joining NOW, however, there will be 250 points for 250 educational resources at the END of the semester! For now, just create your account and submit your Pinterest URL in Canvas.

It will take you about 5 minutes to set up your account and add at least one pin. First, take a few minutes and look at my Pinterest to get some ideas and likely discover some resources you could repin to your own boards. http://pinerest.com/cyndidk.

Your Pinterest URL will be similar to mine and this http://pinterest.com/yourusername

You will need 250 educational pins/resources by the END of the semester. End of the semester is Week 15! This means you should add approximately 15 educational pins/resources each week. You will get plenty of practice and should find mastering Pinterest easy.

If you are already using Pinterest, as I am sure many of you are....you may continue to use that same account or you may want to create a new one just for your professional things. (the choice is yours, but I will tell you, I find it challenging to have 2 accounts!) However, if you do choose to use the same account, please try to rearrange your boards, here is a link to how https://help.pinterest.com/en/articles/add-edit-or-delete-board#Web. Move your Education/Professional boards to the top and move personal boards down below. You want other educators or future employers to see your education boards first rather than your personal stuff.

Don't worry about doing anything more than getting your account set-up and adding one pin/resource, we will talk more about this in class Week 2. When you get your iPad, add the Pinterest App to your iPad and login to your account. Stay logged in. The 250 Points or resources will not be awarded until Week 15. 250 points for 250 pins.

Suggestions for Pinterest boards for your Professional Pinterest account:

Apps
Teacher Blogs/Websites
Lesson Ideas
Add a variety of Content Area Boards (science, social studies, math...), etc. Take a look at my Pinterest to get some ideas for the boards you could.should have.
Putting everything on ONE board is not an organized way to collect resources. Think of Pinterest as a file cabinet, only digital, would you really put everything in one file folder. Each board is like a file folder.

ADD your Pinterest URL to the assignment in Canvas. Your Pinterest URL will look similar to mine: http://pinerest.com/cyndidk

4. Join Twitter

10 points for joining and you will TWEET using our class hashtag (#DED318) each assignment and thing you add to your website/Pinterest/etc. We will talk more about this in class next week, but get your account created and start following me on twitter. https://twitter.com/cyndidannerkuhn.

I get a notification when someone follows me, so Yes, I will know.

There will be points involved for tweeting using our class hashtag (#ded318).

ADD your Twitter URL to the assignment spot in Canvas. It will look similar to mine. https://twitter.com/cyndidannerkuhn

When you get your iPad, add the Twitter App to your iPad. You will be using our Class Hashtag #ded318. Follow me on twitter @cyndidannerkuhn. Your Twitter URL will look similar to mine. https://twitter.com/cyndidannerkuhn.

5. Create your Weebly Account

Yes, you will be learning to create a website. All the assignments and projects we do in class will be added to your website. It is not as difficult as you might be thinking, so open your mind, relax and let's grow your skills together.

http://www.weebly.com The Easiest Way to Make a Website. It's surprisingly easy to create your own website/blog. And as a teacher, you need to know how!! So, we will learn together through this semester.

Step-by-step instructions for creating your account are in the PDF below.

WEEBLY Create account.pdf

Just get your account set up and URL created. Don't worry about anything much but setting up your account, although feel free to choose a theme.

Weebly URL, login, password .png

I suggest using your first & last name for your URL. Foexamplele my Weebly site is http://cyndikuhn.info.

Now understand, I pay money for my domain name (cyndikuhn.info). If I did not pay for it, my URL would be cyndikuhn.weebly.com. Yours will be similar. It is not necessary for you to pay for a domain name, just use the FREE account.

Keep in mind this is a professional education site for you, so crazy URL's are not a good idea, Your first & last name is the best bet.

Screenshot 2017-01-15 16.05.06.png Add the app to your iPad
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weebly/id511158309?mt=8

Make sure you write down the login & password and your URL, you will need it every time you add artifacts to your site, which will be weekly at the very least.

35 points for adding your Weebly URL to Canvas. Make sure it is a complete URL and works!! To get your URL, you must PUBLISH!!
