 * Sharing**
 * Visit the Edmodo group, review the shared links and comment on as many that interest you. What concepts or topics would you like to share in class?


 * Reading**
 * For today, you read //Chapter 2// (//Crap Detection//). For the chapter, share 1 topic, passage or resource. We'll do this in pairs and then as a whole group.
 * What are some of the strategies outlined in this chapter for developing "crap detection" skills?


 * New Technology**
 * Twitter - we set up Twitter accounts

** Next Meeting: Tuesday, May 22 - 5:00-8:00 PM**
 * Assignments for Tuesday, May 22**
 * Two (2) general sharing items posted to Edmodo.
 * Chapter 3 in //Net Smarts//. Posting "added value" items to Edmodo.
 * Your RSS reader will be the core of your personal learning network. Collect a minimum dozen (12) feeds in your Google Reader that are personal to you.
 * Continue to expand your network using your Twitter account to search for people and organizations (@medu603) and topics (#edchat).
 * Post to your blog describing what you have discovered through your reader and Twitter related to your personal and professional interests. Describe any new learning that has occurred (possibly including ideas from //Net Smarts//) and how your new learning might change or enrich something about your learning passions. Here is a [[file:medu600/blogging_rubric-4.pdf| rubric ]] you can use as a guide. REFLECTION is key. Good writing is important, too. Length is whatever works best for you and the story you want to tell. Visit the blogs of your classmates and post comments or critiques similar to how you are using Edmodo. You may approach this assignment through the lens that Rheingold shares in Chapter 3: blogger as //filter, connector, critic// or //advocate.// Reflect on which approach you choose.
