Assignments for Tuesday, October 2, 2012:

**Assignment 3 (October 2):** Watch Jamey's story from the Today Show. After watching the video, express your feelings on what you viewed by creating a [|Wordle]. Make sure you use SAFARI to create the Wordle. You may also want to type up your words in a word document or a sticky note to make sure you don't lose your hard work. Please include at least 20 words/phrases in your Wordle. REMEMBER YOU CANNOT HAVE SPACES BETWEEN WORDS. When you are finished, customize your Wordle and then take a screen shot (command + shift + 4). Rename the screen shot your username and place the wordle in my hand in folder.

If you are having trouble with Wordle, go up to SAFARI, select PREFERENCES, select SECURITY, and make sure enable Java and enable JavaScript are both checked.

Assignment 4 (October 2): Create a post on your blog titled "Cyberbullying Videos." As you watch the videos, please write the following:

1. What is the main idea of all of these videos? (What is the lesson to be learned?) (FCA-10 points) 2. Explain why this is the main idea using at least 3 supporting details from the videos you watched. (FCA-15 points, 5 for each specific detail to support) Use the "Blogging Links" page to access other blogs. You must comment on 3 other classmates' blogs. Please choose someone whose blog you haven't commented on yet.

If you finish both assignments before the end of the period, please check your online grades and make-up any missing or pending assignments. Then, go to your Google Reader or one of the approved finished early sites.

Assignment 5 (October 3): Go to my delicious page and select one article from the cyberbullying_articles tag. Read the article thoroughly.

Assignment 6 (October 3): Choose one of the iPad applications listed on the front board. First, open the application and figure out how to use it! Second, using the application you selected, make a creation that demonstrates your understanding of the article you read and cyberbullying. Make sure your understanding encompasses both in order to receive full credit. When you are finished, show me what you created.

​Assignment 7 (October 4): 1. Go to the Brain Pop site. Take the Cyberbullying Quiz. Choose the "review quiz." Take your time. 2. Click "watch the video" at the end of the quiz. When you finish, write one point about cyberbullying on the side white board. Put your initials next to your contribution.

Preparing for the cyberbullying project:

Create a wikispace account. Select one person at your table to create a wikispace page. Name your page Cyberbullying period#-table#. For example, if you are in period 1 at table 3, your wikispace would be named cyberbullying 1-3. You will then need to send invitations for the other two people at your table to have permission to join the site. This will give everyone the ability to add and edit the wikispace.
