Notes for Tuesday, April 13, 2010

In today's class we'll finish our demo of the use of Second Life as a CALL tool. By now everyone should have an avatar and be able to log on and explore SL in class. We'll be using "SLurl's" to jump to places of interest.

The list of SLurl's we'll be exploring can be found at http://slurl.wikispaces.com/

In addition, I'll be giving a demo of how to use Blackboard from an instructor's point of view. All students in this class are listed as instructors in the "Ling 487 CALL Practice Site" Blackboard site and will be required to log on and modify at least one element of the site as an instructor in today's class.

Class on Thursday, April 15, is an open lab session. No additional readings or homework is due (beyond your weekly blog post) for Thursday so you can use the class time to work on your final project and your e-portfolio. For details on these assignments, go to our class Blackboard site and click on the "Assignments" tab.
