As our first mini project within this intensive project, we are going to lay the foundation. We will be creating TAGXEDO's to showcase our thoughts and open the space for communication.
I am going to MOCK demonstrate my TAGXEDO for you for TWO reasons:
1. See my beliefs about education and my teaching style
2. Give guidance on how to present your TAGXEDO
Your mission (should you choose to accept it)
Step 1: In a word document, answer the questions below
-What is your purpose in this project
-What do you want to know? Gain?
-What would be the best you can get out this project, besides standards
-What intrigues you about this subject?
-What are you left wondering about this project?
Step 2:
-Go to Tagxedo.com and go to the icon labeled "Layout" (under Create).
-There is a space to enter text. Copy from your word document into the text box, then click submit on the right side of the box. You can then play with color layouts and font, etc.
-Be purposeful about your choices as you should be able to explain your reasoning in your presentation.
Step 3:
-Take a screen shot of your TAGXEDO and post it to your Project Blog. Also, post it as a comment to my blog post
-Save your word document as your name + PROJECT CURIOUSITY in Google Docs, then send the link to my email at carton_michelle@asdk12.org
Step 4:
-Think about what you are going to share with the class. When you scroll over a word, it will highlight. Pick the ones you want to address.
-Since we are using media based communication, record your presentation using Garage Band and save it out to i-tunes. Or, if you would like, you may use i-tunes to create a podcast, which incorporates voice
-Your presentation must be between 1-2 minutes (see the presentation rubric for your communication literature (writing) level.
