Below is a brief sketch of this week.

Minimum of one post due Wednesday, and a minimum second post due Sunday
We should make at least two posts to the discussion thread (in Nicenet) each week, one by mid-week and one more by week's end. The discussion thread is based on the readings/materials. This week's topic is Web Searching.

We have a web task to complete and post about (in Nicenet) each week. This week's task is about Creating Learning Objectives. 

Project Steps or Tasks:
Due Sunday at end of week
Every week we will try to make small steps in our final project by completing a project step or task. We will begin with the first project step this week by describing a class (in Nicenet) we might want to use for our final project. 

– Reflective Blog Posts:
Due Sunday at end of week
We should add at least one post every week to the blog we have set up as week 1 task. We should also add at least one comment to another blog. There is a blog roll (or a convenient list of all our blogs) located on the class wiki.
