**2nd Semester, 2011-12 MS Technology Electives** __**I. Medieval Times~Introduction to Website Creation Class Description:**__ For this class, students chose a specific topic related to the Middle Ages to research. They used several different Web 2.0 tools to record and share their learning, including--
 * Springnote (online notetaking tool);
 * Glogster (an interactive online poster tool)
 * Blabberize (enhanced podcasting tool)
 * MyBrainShark (enhanced slideshow/podcast) and
 * BigHugeLabs (magazine cover tool).

Students then learned how to embed the HTML code for each tool on a separate wikispaces webpage and link the pages on their Glogster poster, which serves as their homepage.
