Notes for the third evening of the SIFT Educational Technology Component – 7/11/07
This evening, the SIFT participants will be working mostly on their own projects with the assistance of the instructor, Mr. Singh, and the residential assistants, Sasha Muniz and David Archibald. Dr. Singh will also be participating in the session.
(I will be attending the monthly meeting of the board of the directors of the Covenant Soup Kitchen in downtown Willimantic. I regret that I will not be with you this evening. I look forward to see your projects tomorrow.)
These are the tasks that I would like you to work on. The first four tasks are a review of what we have done so far. If you are confident to proceed, go to task 5.
1) Please practice logging in to your assigned training accounts. This is your individual information:

Your log in is your id # and your password initially is MMDDYY – your birthday – for example 061791 would be June 17, 1991.

3) Most of us were able to establish a http://learnerblogs.org/ account. If you were not successful last evening, please try again with the help of the instructors and RAs. Please call your learnerblog – Electronic Portfolio. Learnerblog will send you an email with a link to a website that has your log on information for learnerblog.

5) Go to http://www.easternct.edu/depts/edu/sift/sift07/ and download the template file for the powerpoint presentation for CultureQuest at http://www.easternct.edu/depts/edu/sift/sift07/projectinfo.ppt .
Save the powerpoint to your training folder. Then close the powerpoint presentation on your screen, open the powerpoint program on your computer, and open the file that you just saved. You should be able to edit and change the powerpoint to reflect your CultureQuest
India! topic. We are looking for at least 10 slides with the last being a bibliography of resources. Please use http://www.stylewizard.com/apa5/apawiz.htmlto cite your resources in APA-style.
When time is about up, save either in your training folder or to your learnerblog.
