=IDC 4U Unit 9= **Dynamic Classroom Publications: From Print to Online Text and Graphics** Key Concepts
 * Podcasting, Blogging, RSS Feeds
 * e-Books, e-Yearbooks, e-Newsletters
 * Wikis, web development, and websites

Additional Ideas - synthesizing classroom notes/study notes to reproduce a new/interactive format eg. wikis with video, chart, external data links to demonstrate topics discussed in class - contributing to online collaborative technologies like Wikipedia to understand the process by which virtual publications are created - analyzing online newspaper formats and how this relates to dissemination of information and media literacy (eg. compare Globe and Mail in print and online) - having student "leaders" create and implement 'dynamic classroom publication' in other disciplines (eg. working across the curriculum to develop wikis, chat forums, etc. to support the lessons) - knowing how and when to design, use and access different types of publications (wikis versus blogs versus print....)

Teaching Strategies - inquiry-based learning (student guided) to identify key questions and concepts to frame the discovery - update an online wikipedia document to understand the process of contribution - peer-editing and review of new tools created in assisted technologies (students "demo" developments of others to troubleshoot) - on-going participation portion of course requires students to take on rotating leadership roles to post class notes, contribute new articles and ideas to lessons, and contribute to blogs and chats on given topics
