Assignment Rubric with Deadlines and Evaluation



This assignment will introduce a new web 2.0 tool to many of you, so the assignment will offer challenges that are two-fold. You will meet some of the national technoloy standards while meeting two of the state objectives (TEKS) for this course. You will need to stay focused and try to use the technology before asking for help. Be adventurous. Asking the teacher or a friend before you try on your own is cheating yourself out of a learning experience. Some of you work quickly on technology, and others don't. If you are absent, or if you get behind, you will need to work on this assignment outside of class. I can help you most days after school. Be sure to tell me in advance is you plan to work after school so that I am available for you. If you lack technology at home, the high school libraries are open early and close late for your use. Also, the public libraries are open on evenings and weekends.

Let's get started! View the tutorial (use your earbuds) to see how to use the features. Review the video or portions of it to help you when you need assistance.
