Social Networking and Community Building Assignment
Earth Science: Atmosphere, Weather, and Climate class
Three parts.
1. Follow a scientist and/or organization on Twitter, and Tweet questions
2. Share the Twitter handle with your classmates on our class website.
3. Post pictures that you take of cool clouds and weather to our class Flickr Group.
The first week of school students will learn how to sign on to our class website (Aspen X2) which is a private Learning Management system. Students will learn how to navigate the site to see what we are doing this week in class, how to check grades, and how to post to forums.
The first Social Networking Activity : Students will find a scientist or organization that relates to one of our class topics to follow on Twitter. Students are encouraged to Tweet questions.
The second Social Networking Activity: Students share with their classmates (on our classroom forum) who they are following on Twitter, and why they chose to follow that person/organization.
Below is a screenshot of our class webpage in Aspen X2 with directions for sharing the Twitter handles on our class Forum. Throughout the trimester, students are encouraged to share on our class forum page interesting information.
