“Digital literacy is less about the tools and more about the thinking”

Session 2 ~ What have we done so far? Where are we now?

Session 2 During this session you will: 1) Collaborate with your peers in brainstorming and producing a simple lesson plan for a communicative activity aligned with the ACTFL 21 st century skills map, using one or more web 2.0 tools. Lesson Plan + Rubric (individual) - Due mid-January 2) Post your lesson plan on a wiki specifically created for the online PD project, provide constructive feedback to others on their lesson plans, and (optionally) share student projects with the whole group.

- Communicate and Collaborate with your peers (BbC, Skype, Edmodo Groups, Wikispaces groups, , Bubble Us, Google Docs, Face to Face, etc.) - Brainstorm ideas for communicative activities that integrate one or more web 2.0 tools - Use the ACTFL 21 st century skills map (and other resources) as a guide when planning the activities - Produce a simple lesson plan, following a “Backward Design” template
