Interactivity #4: Discovering Web 2.0 on the PLAYground


For Interactivity #4, you will expand your technological repertoire of web-based tools. The medium for doing this is a remixing tool developed by the Annenberg Innovation Lab at USC. The tool is called the PLAYground and each of you will be responsible for creating what is called a "canvas" on which you can place and remix web-based media (i.e., YouTube videos, RSS feeds, Tweets, images, comment boxes). Your task is to create a canvas that serves as an introduction to a curricular unit that you would teach in your content area. (Note that a unit usually takes place over a course of about 3-4 weeks. You do not have to write out individual lesson plans for the unit.) This unit must be an expansion of the lesson you chose for IA#3. This assignment is due 11:59pm EST on 11/3.
