  4. I have list some criteria for judging a website, and a website rubric from the University of Wisconsin.

    We can take some ideas from here, add them to rubric ideas that you have, and come up with our own for the GROUP rubric.

  5. On the Google Docs that Deb made a few weeks ago, we have two complete rubrics. Everyone has put input on the GoogleDocs page. I think now the only thing left to do is to decide if we want to use one of them, the both of them, or if any changes need to be made. Has everyone had a chance to look at them? Perhaps this could be the starting point for our conference call on Tuesday (providing everyone can make it).
    Dawn, your list is of important components is very comprehensive. It think we have included all of those points on the rubrics which were designed. Is there anything we forgot to mention in the two that we completed already?

  6. Hi all,

    To answer a few questions:

    I used Camtasia 6 to create the video on my blog. It can be configured to auto-focus on screen areas, or you can focus manually on scrtain aspects after your done recording a screen capture video. I didn't use a seperate microphone, just the internal mic in my lappy.

    I like ZoomIt and Playlist, great-free tools.

    Dawn, to insert video from file is a different process, but video from youtube is easy. When you are viewing a video on youtube, on the right of the youtube page will be a URL and an Embed Code. Copy the entire embed code from there, and then paste it into your blog post. I think you have to be in HTML edit mode within the blog post, which you can toggle above on one of the tabs. I can walk you through it if you get stuck.
