===Module Technology Review (At [|Educator]) 5 Points Please see  the file/view/Technology Reviews Directions and Rubric.pdf===

//__Please remember as you create technology reviews to focus on how different technologies can help you to develop your course project.__//

__**Due Thursday, June 11 by 11:59 PM**__ at Google Documents

Explore at least one wiki and one blog site. Again you will need to join to be able to learn how to use them. **__Choose one of them to write a technology review that is due June 11.__** Use the Technology Reviews Directions and Rubric.pdf as your guide. If you are thinking of creating a new course interface, you may want to spend time working with the wikis. If you want a way for your students to self-publish or share work, you may want to spend more times on the blogs. (__**//You can post your review to the wiki by creating a new page. Some of you indicated that you wanted to try to post an assignment to the wiki.)//**__

You will create your technology review in Google documents and share the document with your classmates and me. I will provide their addresses so you can add them to the document. You can download the Technology Review Template.docx. Once you see your classmates' reviews in your Google Documents, take a look at them and leave a note on the page indicating your reaction.
