Preliminary Thoughts on Building and Designing Learning Experiences

 * The authoring environments highlighted below create products that can stand alone (each will have its own URL) or can be embedded (using the "super secret embed code") in a webpage, blog, or course learning management system.
 * Many of the Web 2.0 environments will require a login and password in order to save your work. Will students be using personal logins or a class login? Clearly communicate with all stakeholders if students are using their own accounts and creating products.
 * Check the terms of service for COPPA requirements for students age 13 and younger.
 * Many of the Web 2.0 environments also have education portals. Education portals often offer filtering, easy management and access to student work, special URLs to work with your school's firewall; some charge a fee - many pay for this fee from department budgets, or charge students a lab fee.
 * Do you have a website where you can embed/place the URLs to your projects? Share resources with your classes? A website for you and your program? Websites for your students? Here are some places to consider:
 * Easy to edit websites:
 * Google Sites
 * Weebly
 * Easy to edit wikis
 * Wikispaces (Cindy's page about wikispaces) or PBworks
 * Below we will be exploring many environments together. This list is not exhaustive or comprehensive, but rather is a collection of environments teachers are currently using. Please send me environments and examples of products you and your students create and I will share them with other teachers.
