process and would like to share with the rest of the class.

Post a comment on the course discussion blog (http://cuin7358-lit.blogspot.com)

the draft version of the article you will be reviewing for this week's

Post a comment on your personal blog in which you describe the process you
went through completing the hands-on assignment for this week which was to
create a CD or DVD of your final semester project. Please indicate what
software, hardware and media you used to complete the assignment.
Personal Blog Assignment 11d:
Post a comment on your personal blog in which you discuss the following
items:
Have the linked courses been beneficial to you and if so how? If not, why
not?
Have the digital photo/storytelling assignments been worthwhile in helping
you learn the technology skills presented?
Have the digital photo/storytelling assignments been worthwhile in helping
you learn the children's literature content?
Do you think that the linked course pairing helped you connect technical
skills to content area knowledge? If so, how and if not, what do you think
did not work?
Would you be interested in taking other linked courses if they were offered
and would you recommend this pair of linked courses to other students?
Is there anything else you can suggest that you feel would improve the
digital photography/storytelling half of the linked course pair?
One option under consideration is to have a linked pair of courses where the
content area course would be offered as a traditional 3 hour per week
face-to-face course and the
digital photo/storytelling course would be offered online, or mostly online.
Please discuss your reaction to this idea and provide any questions or
comments you have on this topic.
Do you have any other comments that you would like to add?
