Welcome to Designing Collaborative Internet Activities for Today’s Classroom (ED569A)
This course will focus on various ways that educators can construct and integrate internet-based interactive activities into the learning experiences of their students, both inside and outside of the classroom. From designing a web home page, a starting off point, to the ground up construction of hot-lists, web quests and collaborative multidisciplinary web units.

This wiki is the hub for our class. The most current agenda will appear on this home page. Should you ever need to access any agenda, they will be archived on the right side of the page.
