Assignment

=**Building Your Web 2.0 Toolbox**=

You have a homework assignment to be completed during the week between the two face-to-face workshops. The assignment is designed to help you maintain momentum for the second face-to-face session, but also to explore, discover and evaluate a few of the thousands of Web 2.0 tools available.


 * What do I need to do?**

1. Make sure you've read the //Day 1 Module 2: Creating Your Web Presence// section of your course materials package. 2. Reflecting on the idea of needs analysis, think of a few needs that you have that could be solved by a Web 2.0 tool. 3. Search for 3 or 4 different tools that you think might be useful for you. Check the resources section for some links to get you started. 4. List of tools that you are evaluating on this Wiki in the List of Evaluated Tools page along with your name. (It's okay if you are using the same tool as someone else). 5. Evaluate the tools you've chosen and write about your experiences with them on your Blog. 6. Check other peoples Blogs to see what they have been evaluating as well and comment on the posts that interest you.

Once the week is up we'll meet back for day two of the face-to-face sessions and talk about peoples experience as with a variety of different tools. You'll get first hand accounts of the tools in action. I highly encourage you to participate as fully as your time allows during the week. The more people visit each others Blogs, comment on posts and search out fun new tools, the better you'll understand the power of social media.
