CMC wrap-up3/6/13
Warm-up activity (@20 minutes)QR Code Scavenger Hunt
Automatically generated codes, hyperlink to web content (e.g., URL, text, video, etc.)
QR CodesQuick way to link to information (especially
useful for long URLs, text not hosted on a page, link types you want to hide).
Many services to generate QR Codes. They are simply images you can stick in any document. (Just Google QR Code Generator)
Also work with Google Spreadsheets to generate multiple codes.
Scavenger HuntToday we’ll be doing a short scavenger hunt
employing QR Codes and some multimedia clues.
Get into small groups of 3-4 people. All clues will be close by (you can leave your
stuff here)We’ll come back at the end of the activity to
class.
For this week’s reflection, try it on Audioboo (and record comments on your classmates’ Audioboos).
You can generate an embed link in Audioboo:

Used forums for process (development)Used wiki for product (the brochure)
Sequenced stages (p. 66)Technical setupMeeting one anotherChoosing topicBrainstormingLooking for informationGlossaryParagraphing & writingFinal submission
Discussion questionsHow would you characterize the types of
feedback that the English students provided? What types of feedback were more/less
effective? What do you attribute these results to?
If you were to design a similar teaching activity, what change would you consider making in terms of instruction/task design/use of technology?

In-class project (for 3/25): Service encounters include a broad range of
activities, such as visiting a professor in an office hour, ordering food at a restaurant, going to an office for a service (e.g., doctor, registrar),making an appointment.
They can be in person or over the phone. SEs are often difficult and intimidating to learners. Learning about SEs can be motivating and an
excellent basis for TBLT.
Service Encounters HomeworkDevelop a short teaching activity about a type of
service encounter at an American university. Create* or find an excellent example of a service
encounter to use as a model. Use one of the modes of CMC we have covered in
class as a teaching tool. We will work on this in class today and Wed. Submit
it on your blog by 3/25 (after spring break). We will share.
