Other sources for your images

Hi all,

We'll touch on this on Monday, but the images you use for your research portfolio (and later presentation) will need to be photos that you in some way have the right to use, be it through creative (or some other kind of) commons, public domain, or something similar.

Dean showed you all flickr, which is a fantastic site for finding creative commons licensed images. You might also want to check out some of these:

Creative Commons search: http://search.creativecommons.org/

Wikimedia Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Library of Congress: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/
Geek Philosopher (free stock photos--you can also google "free stock photos" for more sites: http://www.geekphilosopher.com/GeekPhilosopher.com/photos/photos.aspx

All best,
Jessica

No Blog posts this week (2 research portfolios, though!)

Hi all,

Outside of the two research portfolios that you have to post on your blog this week before Presentations on Wednesday, you do not have any blog posts, nor do you have to respond to a classmate this week. Take that time to work on your presentations.

Best,
Jessica

Research Portfolio(s) (and quiz)

Hi all,

I'm going to give you some extra time to post your research portfolio from last week, and you'll need to update your research portfolio this coming week as well. Here are the two prompts:

1. Find at least one image that you would use in a presentation about your topic and cite it correctly. Also find an additional resource you’d use in your research project (it can be anything!) and include an annotation summarizing the article and how you plan to use it in your research project.

2. Monday, November 5th: Find at least two credible websites (so, you’ve evaluated them, using our CURRA evaluation criteria) and cite them. Include annotations for each website summarizing the content of the website and how you plan to use it in your research project.


These do not have word count requirements. You'll want to have both of these done before class on Wednesday, November 7th because you'll be using these research portfolios for your coming presentation. We'll be working on Monday's research portfolio in class.

We'll be working on your presentations in class on Monday as well, and i'll be happy to answer any questions you have.

I'm also keeping the quiz open a little bit longer, so make sure to take it before class on Monday. It is in CourseDen under "assessments" and also in the week 11-13 folder.

Best,
Jessica

More info on your upcoming presentations

Hi all,

In class today we discussed your upcoming presentation (which is a draft of what will become your final presentation.) These presentations will be held on November 7 and November 12.

You will have Monday, November 5 to work on these presentations in class. There is, however, a good chance that I will not be there that day so make sure to ask any questions you have sooner rather than later. This will not be an optional day--you'll have an in-class assignment that you have to complete.

Here are the directions for this assignment: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17dbC3f35wKSIfS-udkDh5bMESdH4N3sXrvBw68KyV_E/edit

Read them, and then read them again, and then ask questions.

Best,
Jessica
