I have been trying to come up with something that I could utilize in my U100 class as we have a "free" week coming up where I can incorporate whatever sort of lesson I'd like. For now, my plan is to create an interactive scavenger hunt across campus for students to become more familiar with the buildings on campus and what they house. For example, the library houses the writing center. The students would work in groups to solve the clues and then visit each location where they would "check in", take a group picture, and then either post on facebook or twitter. I am still trying to figure out which Web 2.0 tools I'd like to use and I may incorporate more than one. For now, I am considering facebook, twitter, foursquare, instragram, and possibly snapchat. As I start to work out the details of how this would best flow, I will post more. I look forward to seeing what others have in mind for their projects and also receiving feedback so that I can make my lesson even better!

Sounds like a great idea. Snapchat seems to be pretty hot right now. It will be interesting to see how the project develops.
ReplyDeleteMichele,
ReplyDeleteThis is very similar to what I was thinking about doing. I am planning on using the geo-location application called Scvngr http://www.scvngr.com/. Feel free to also use that, if it helps. It would be great to compare results.
I love the idea of Scvngr. I was also thinking about Foursquare. And then I wonder if these are apps that students actually use, or if its just for oldies like me :-) I am going to take a survey in my U100 classes tomorrow to get a sense for if they use an apps like these and what they like best. I will report back :-)
DeleteAs I'm reading this I am wondering if Snapchat would be the best way to go. It seems like many are using it and I'm thinking (like you mentioned Michele) it might be the best to ask our 18 year olds to use.
