Unloved Pink Flash Drive
I know that St. Valentine's Day is over now that there is an abandoned pink Flash Drive left all alone in the computer lab today. It is hoping that its chance at a happy home is not over. What better place to meet than the library? It is waiting at the lost and found for its rightful owner.
Please check in the library lost and found for this drive. It has several student files on it so I am not certain where it belongs.

Reflection for Final Porfolio-Concept Mapping
In the reflection question for this week, you will begin work on your course portfolio.In that portfolio, you will include a reflection on the assignment that you have just completed. For this reflection, you should refer to the NETS standards, and include an explanation of how concept mapping can be use in support of that standard.
The NET standards are linked here for your review.
The Standards for Students
http://www.iste.org/Content/NavigationMenu/NETS/ForStudents/2007Standards/NETS_for_Students_2007.htm
The Standards for Teachers
http://www.iste.org/Content/NavigationMenu/NETS/ForTeachers/2008Standards/NETS_for_Teachers_2008.htm
Specifically you should address:
• What standards do you think can be supported by concept mapping as a tool for students?
• How can a planning map help you to integrate and plan technology in your lesson?
• What did you learn from this assignment that will help you reach these goals?
Your reflection should be between 150 and 200 words: roughly a single page of text. Make a header for this document that contains your name and align this header to the margin on the right side of the page.
Save this document in your portfolio folder as Concept Map Reflection. Back-up this file.
Print out a copy to turn in for review; although it will not receive a final grade until the end of the course, I will review your work so that you can revise it for the final portfolio.
You should plan to complete this as soon as you finish the concept map assignment.

Comments for Concept Maps
As you have noticed, you have two maps to complete for my sections of this course a planning map and a student map. This is how the rubric is modified to allow for both of these maps without creating extra criteria.
Criteria
1. Must have text notes that explain main topic and/or subtopics
(At least 2 on each map or four total on both maps) This is the yellow comment box that drops down when you click on the symbol.
2. Have at least five topic areas and each must have two or more subtopics. (Should at least five total for both maps: you will likely have more than this.)
3. One of the subtopics must have its own sub-subtopics.( Should be on at least one map)
4. Create 2 hyperlinks to 2 different Web sites on the main concepts or topics. (Two hyperlinks on one map or one hyperlink on each map). These must be active (hot).
5. Add text for the links where appropriate (must have at least two text links on each map or 4 links on a single map). These are the words that appear in the link line.
6. Use a variety of images and/or shapes for the topic/subtopic nodes (e.g., apples and rectangles).
• The student map must include a least four images for symbols.
• The planning map should use different symbols for sub objectives/concepts and teaching methods. You do not have to use images on this map.
7. Change the following from the default
• Use a background color for at least one map.
• Change the thickness and color of the link lines on at least one map.
• On at least one map use a font other than the default font.
8. Place your name, IT 365 and section time in a text box on the file on both maps. Your name should not be in a symbol but in a textbox without an outline.
To finish this assignment:
1. Create folder on your flash drive for your Portfolio. You may title this IT 365 Final Portfolio.
2. Save your maps in this folder as Inspiration files. (You may need this if you have to revise this assignment)
3. Export both maps as .jpeg files and save in the same folder. (Note since all the files are not in the same format, not all will show in program save window. To see your files; view the drive in My Computer when you are done).
4. Print two copies of the concept map in diagram view. This does not have to be a color print. Open all notes for this print. Keep one for your records
5. Turn in a print out of both maps.
6. Send your files for these maps as an Inspiration file in version 8 or earlier to Karen.Juneau@gmail.com
7. You might want to backup up your work on your home computer.
This assignment should be complete on February 17, 2010 for the Monday/ Wednesday section and on February 23, 2010 for the Tuesday night section.

Inspiration Issues
It has been brought to my attention that the free download in Inspiration no longer allows you to save the file as a version 7 file. This is problem since we have version 7 in the lab. For now, if you are working on these assignments at home save it as a version 8 file. I have a copy of version 8 so I will be able to open that file.
If you will send your version 8 file to me before next class as an email attachment, I will open it in version 8 and try to save it as version 7. Please keep a copy of your original file if this does not work. I will send you the converted file as an attachment before the next session
