Module Seven
"It is no coincidence that kids show an affinity for multimedia technology.   The reason: its visual, playful way of presenting information imitates the preschool way of learning. Babies learn to talk without curriculum or formal lessons. Social behavior is picked up through other than classroom instruction; with their emphasis on action and interaction, computers reclaim some of the fun that is inherent in early learning."
Seymour Papert (professor, M.I.T.( the children's Machine, 1993
Overview
Welcome to Mod seven

In this mod, we wil not be doing the regular readings and surfings. There will be some things to look at, but no essays are due.  We will use the Forum for the first time.  It is our goal for our workshop participants to have some interaction with their colleagues during all of our workshops, and the Forum is how we will do it in this online class.

You can access the
Forum by clicking on the link here, or on the Forum button on the home page of this workshop, or by typing in www.voy.com/172033/    You DO need the sladsh at the end.  Check your e-mail before boign to the Forum. In the welcome to the class I have given you a password for the Forum.  You will need that to get in. If you do not have it, email me.  When you get into the Forum, you will type in the password and our class page will come up.  You will see an introduction to Mod 7 from me.  Then you can click on the reply that I posted to my own message.  This is what your assignment willbe in this mod.  Youj will create an introduction to yourself and post it on the Forum.  After you read the reply posted to the first message, click the back arrow at the top of the page to get back to the original page of the Forum, or relink back to it from here. (Do not starta new message or a new "thread." just reply)  Then, you will be takekn to a "fill in the blank" area where you will tell us a little about yourslef, just like I did in my reply.
Type an introduction to yourself on the Forum, following the directions above in Overview.  Yours can be similar to mine (the one posted in the Forum) or you can also give us insight into how you are currently using computers in your classroom and what you hope to learn in this class to help you use thenm more effectively.
