    Assignments
    1. Keep in mind that when you complete the below assignments everyone in class will benefit from your work. This is one great benefit of information networks. Think about it as textbook readings ... except that the whole class reads a little part and tells the others about it. I expect that by the end of our semester together, you will look back on these assignments as very important to your overall learning experience.
    2. Assignment: Due by 4:30 PM, on the Sunday before our next class.
    3. Read A Brief History of Media Education by Bill Walsh. Also, please explore the Media Literacy Online Project at the College of Education, University of Oregon - Eugene.
    4. eMail iceCap the following:
    5. In one paragraph, react to Bill Walsh's ideas of Media Education.
    6. From your exploration of the Media Literacy Online Project, point us to one on-line resource you found interesting. Explain why.
    7. One example of a possible answer: I liked (http://include the full URL) -- Education Web Sites for Children because it is a rich resource for developing unit plans in grades PK - 6.
    8. Add a Link -- add this web site to your class Web Page by using the Add a Link feature we talked about during the first weeks of class.
