But should you have any doubts you know how to reach me. This assignment is due on the &lt;b style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;14th of October&lt;/b&gt;, so better get started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- First, to remind the rest of us of who you are, write 10 words that best characterize you, then visit &lt;a href="http://www.wordle.net/"&gt;WORDLE&lt;/a&gt; and create a word cloud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- Second, head over to &lt;a href="http://www.gizmoz.com/newsite/presite/home.jsp"&gt;GIZMOZ&lt;/a&gt; and create a slideshow about your Summer adventures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;As usual, when you're done you should post your work on your blogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;8th GRADE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is the first time you will be using a blog. I know you're a tad worried, but I'm here if you have any questions or doubts regarding the tasks.&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Your assignment is due on the &lt;b style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;14th of October&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;- First, lets bring back a bit of the Summer. Pretend you're still on holidays and write a postcard to let a friend know how you're doing. Visit &lt;a href="http://www.phreetings.com/?d=phreetings"&gt;PHREETINGS&lt;/a&gt; and create a virtual postcard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- Second, let the world know a little more about you. Write a short text, you can refer to the following: favourite food, favourite music, favourite subject, hobbies, sports, etc. Go to &lt;a href="http://livetyping.com/"&gt;LIVETYPING&lt;/a&gt;, it records your writing process from start to finish, showing all you wrote, every word you deleted, corrected and changed. When you're done click on "Enliven" to watch your recording and then copy the code, post it on your blog to share your final text. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta é a primeira vez que vão usar o blog. Sei que estão um pouco apreensivos, mas estou aqui para esclarecer qualquer dúvida que tenham em relação às actividades.&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;As vossas primeiras tarefas têm de ser feita até &lt;span style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;14 de Outubro&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;- Primeiro, vamos trazer de volta um pouco do verão. Imaginem que ainda estão de férias e escrevam um postal a um amigo. Acedam a &lt;a href="http://www.phreetings.com/?d=phreetings"&gt;PHREETINGS&lt;/a&gt; e criem um postal virtual.&lt;br /&gt;- Segundo, deixem o mundo&amp;nbsp;saber um pouco mais sobre vocês.&amp;nbsp; Acedam a &lt;a href="http://livetyping.com/"&gt;LIVETYPING&lt;/a&gt; e digitem o vosso texto. O teu processo de criação será gravado, mostrando tudo o que escreveste, todas as palavras que apagaste, corrigiste ou alteraste. Quando terminares clica em "Enliven" para veres a gravação e depois copia e cola o código no teu blog para partilhares a versão final do teu trabalho. Podem referir os seguintes aspectos: comida favorita, música favorita, disciplina favorita, actividades de tempos livres, desportos, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Phreetings Screencast &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object &amp;nbsp;="" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,115,0" data="http://www.screentoaster.com/swf/STPlayer.swf" height="344" id="stVkhXREVLQF1ZSFlUXltY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name='movie' value='http://www.screentoaster.com/swf/STPlayer.swf'/&gt;&lt;param name='allowFullScreen' value='true'/&gt;&lt;param name='allowScriptAccess' value='always'/&gt;&lt;param name='flashvars' value='video=stVkhXREVLQF1ZSFlUXltY'/&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right; width: 425px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.screentoaster.com/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;LiveTyping Screencast&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object &amp;nbsp;="" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,115,0" data="http://www.screentoaster.com/swf/STPlayer.swf" height="344" id="stVkhXREVLQF1YQF5YWFNR" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name='movie' value='http://www.screentoaster.com/swf/STPlayer.swf'/&gt;&lt;param name='allowFullScreen' value='true'/&gt;&lt;param name='allowScriptAccess' value='always'/&gt;&lt;param name='flashvars' value='video=stVkhXREVLQF1YQF5YWFNR'/&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right; width: 425px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.screentoaster.com/"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.phreetings.com/?d=phreetings"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/207434439475165734-7852395405910380489?l=zarcoenglish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zarcoenglish.blogspot.com/feeds/7852395405910380489/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=207434439475165734&amp;postID=7852395405910380489&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/207434439475165734/posts/default/7852395405910380489'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/207434439475165734/posts/default/7852395405910380489'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zarcoenglish.blogspot.com/2009/10/1-assignment-200910.html' title='1st Assignment 2009/10'/><author><name>Alex Francisco</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14085432505243484135</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__-yVxboE28A/SYiK6XX8D-I/AAAAAAAAAGs/xrHq-wyOA5s/S220/%3D)+033.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207434439475165734.post-911617392290789901</id><published>2009-06-14T08:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-14T16:05:33.981-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poll'/><title type='text'>ZarcoEnglish 2008/09</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Below you have the results of the survey on the use of web2.0 tools in class.

This assignment will still focus on the Media. You are only required to do ONE of the tasks below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- Create a timeline using either &lt;a href="http://capzles.com/"&gt;Capzles&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.ourstory.com/splash.html"&gt;OurStory&lt;/a&gt;. It can be about a person's path or an event. Check &lt;a href="http://newstimeline.googlelabs.com/"&gt;Google News Timeline&lt;/a&gt; if you need inspiration.                               &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- &lt;a href="http://theweekinrap.com/"&gt;News in rap&lt;/a&gt; has a really interesting way of presenting the news: they rap about it! :) Your mission is to either record yourself (video or audio) performing their news in rap or you could go for bust and try to create your own News in Rap. If you pick the latter you can use &lt;a href="http://newsmap.jp/"&gt;Newsmap&lt;/a&gt; for inspiration and &lt;a href="http://www.rhymezone.com/"&gt;RhymeZone&lt;/a&gt; will help you out with the pesky rhymes. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;-Put yourself in a reporter's shoes and video yourself  presenting a piece of news. Yes, you can make up your own news story. If you are camera shy head over to &lt;a href="http://www.xtranormal.com/"&gt;Xtranormal&lt;/a&gt; and create your news show there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fizeram um trabalho espectacular nas revistas! :) Agora vamos lá fazer mais um pouco de magia e começar na vossa próxima tarefa, que terá de ser publicada até ao dia &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;31 de Maio&lt;/span&gt;, o que vos deixa à vontade para lidarem com os testes que se avizinham. Esta tarefa ainda está relacionada com os Media. Escolham apenas UMA das tarefas estipuladas abaixo.&lt;br /&gt;- Criem uma "linha do tempo" usando &lt;a href="http://capzles.com/"&gt;Capzles&lt;/a&gt; ou &lt;a href="http://www.ourstory.com/splash.html"&gt;OurStory&lt;/a&gt;. Pode ser sobre o percurso de uma pessoa ou sobre um evento. Consultem o &lt;a href="http://newstimeline.googlelabs.com/"&gt;Google News Timeline&lt;/a&gt; se precisarem de inspiração.&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://theweekinrap.com/"&gt;News in rap&lt;/a&gt; tem uma maneira muito engraçada de apresentar as notícias: eles criam uma canção de rap! A vossa tarefa é gravarem (video ou audio) a vós próprios a cantarem  uma das músicas deles, ou então podem dar tudo por tudo e tentar criar uma News in Rap. Caso escolham esta última, consultem o &lt;a href="http://newsmap.jp/"&gt;Newsmap&lt;/a&gt; para inspiração e encontrarão ajuda com as rimas na &lt;a href="http://www.rhymezone.com/"&gt;RhymeZone&lt;/a&gt;. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;-Finjam que são repórteres e filmem-se a apresentar as notícias. Sim, podem inventar as vossas próprias notícias. Se não conseguem lidar com as câmaras acedam ao &lt;a href="http://www.xtranormal.com/"&gt;Xtranormal&lt;/a&gt; e criem as vosso noticiário lá&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/207434439475165734-8493867263075788169?l=zarcoenglish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zarcoenglish.blogspot.com/feeds/8493867263075788169/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=207434439475165734&amp;postID=8493867263075788169&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/207434439475165734/posts/default/8493867263075788169'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/207434439475165734/posts/default/8493867263075788169'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zarcoenglish.blogspot.com/2009/05/13th-assignment.html' title='13th Assignment'/><author><name>Alex Francisco</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14085432505243484135</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__-yVxboE28A/SYiK6XX8D-I/AAAAAAAAAGs/xrHq-wyOA5s/S220/%3D)+033.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207434439475165734.post-3206969491991731356</id><published>2009-04-22T13:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T08:27:09.169-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bibme'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Issuu'/><title type='text'>12th Assignment</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We are back in action!

Here's what you need to focus on:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;- Choose the "theme" of your magazine.&lt;br /&gt;- Create your fake magazine cover - you can use either &lt;a href="http://www.glogster.com/"&gt;Glogster&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/magazine.php"&gt;Bighugelabs&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.writeonit.org/"&gt;Writeonit&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.magmypic.com/"&gt;Magmypic&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.customsigngenerator.com/"&gt;Customsigngenerator&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;- Your magazine must have a minimum of ten (10) pages and, yes, that includes the cover. :)&lt;br /&gt;- You must have at least TWO articles that were entirely written by you.&lt;br /&gt;- Anything - from texts to photos- you copy, alter or rephrase will have to be &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;correctly&lt;/span&gt; cited. Use &lt;a href="http://www.bibme.org/"&gt;Bibme&lt;/a&gt; to help you with this.&lt;br /&gt;- Organize it all using word or powerpoint and then e-mail me the final document so I can publish it; or, if you are feeling brave, head over to &lt;a href="http://issuu.com/"&gt;Isuu&lt;/a&gt; and publish your magazine yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Since you are going to be working as a group, be sure to use the tools you already know are available to you: save your bookmarks to your &lt;a href="http://delicious.com/"&gt;Delicious&lt;/a&gt; account, use &lt;a href="http://www.box.net/"&gt;Boxnet&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.filedropper.com/"&gt;File Dropper&lt;/a&gt; to save and share documents and images among yourselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estamos de volta à acção! Espero que as férias da Páscoa vos tenham rejuvenescido e estejam preparados para o trabalho!&lt;br /&gt;A vossa próxima tarefa é para ser publicada até &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;4 de Maio&lt;/span&gt;, por isso é mellhor começarem a se mexer. :) Como sabem o nosso próximo tema é Os Média e, como já foi abordado,  têm de organizar uma equipa de até cinco alunos e criar uma revista. Precisam de ter em mente o seguinte:&lt;br /&gt;- Escolher um "tema" para a vossa revista.&lt;br /&gt;- Criar a vossa capa de revista falsa - podem utilizar um dos seguintes sites: &lt;a href="http://www.glogster.com/"&gt;Glogster&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/magazine.php"&gt;Bighugelabs&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.writeonit.org/"&gt;Writeonit&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.magmypic.com/"&gt;Magmypic&lt;/a&gt; ou &lt;a href="http://www.customsigngenerator.com/"&gt;Customsigngenerator&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;- A vossa revista tem de ter um mínimo de dez (10) páginas e, sim, isso inclui a capa. :)&lt;br /&gt;- Deve ter, pelo menos DOIS artigos escritos na íntegra por vós.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- Tudo - desde textos a fotos - que copiarem, alterarem ou parafrasearem terá de ser correctamente citado. Usem o &lt;a href="http://www.bibme.org/"&gt;Bibme&lt;/a&gt; para isto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;- Organizem tudo usando o word ou o powerpoint e depois enviem-me o documento final, por e-mail, para que eu o publique ou, se forem corajosos, acedam ao &lt;a href="http://issuu.com/"&gt;Isuu&lt;/a&gt; e publiquem vocês a vossa revista.&lt;br /&gt;Uma vez que vão estar a trabalhar em grupo, certifiquem-se que utilizam as ferramentas que estão ao vosso dispor: salvem as páginas utilizadas na vossa conta &lt;a href="http://delicious.com/"&gt;Delicious&lt;/a&gt;, e usem o &lt;a href="http://www.box.net/"&gt;Boxnet&lt;/a&gt; ou &lt;a href="http://www.filedropper.com/"&gt;File Dropper&lt;/a&gt; para salvar e trocar os documentos e imagens entre os vários membros do grupo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/207434439475165734-3206969491991731356?l=zarcoenglish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zarcoenglish.blogspot.com/feeds/3206969491991731356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=207434439475165734&amp;postID=3206969491991731356&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/207434439475165734/posts/default/3206969491991731356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/207434439475165734/posts/default/3206969491991731356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zarcoenglish.blogspot.com/2009/04/12th-assignment.html' title='12th Assignment'/><author><name>Alex Francisco</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14085432505243484135</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__-yVxboE28A/SYiK6XX8D-I/AAAAAAAAAGs/xrHq-wyOA5s/S220/%3D)+033.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207434439475165734.post-5244785596772683981</id><published>2009-03-25T03:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-23T04:07:32.757-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Goanimate'/><title type='text'>11th Assignment!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ready for Easter holidays?

Most of you used pictures that were not yours but failed to cite your sources properly. Therefore I could not accept the placing online of work that wasn't rightfully yours. Although I did call your attention to the fact that it was imperative that you respected copyright rights, I should have insisted more on it.&lt;br /&gt;I will go through it again with you and I will post some guidelines for you to follow, rather than just debating it with you. After that you will be required to redo your powerpoint presentations.&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime please read the following:&lt;a href="http://theedublogger.edublogs.org/2008/06/22/copyright-and-using-images-in-blog-posts/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://theedublogger.edublogs.org/2008/06/22/copyright-and-using-images-in-blog-posts/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Copyright and Using Images in Blog Posts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/589/02/"&gt;Is it Plagiarism Yet?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teachers.tv/video/30749"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Secondary ICT - Plagiarism - A Cut and Paste Generation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then take this test: &lt;a href="http://library.acadiau.ca/tutorials/plagiarism/"&gt;You Quote it, You note it! &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As vossas apresentações no slideshare não tiveram o resultado que eu estava à espera. A maioria de vocês utilizou imagens que não eram vossas, mas não citou as fontes. Por essa razão não posso aceitar a publicação online de material que não vos pertence, sem que se credite o seu autor. Embora tenha chamado a vossa atenção para este facto, deveria ter sido mais insistente. Vamos voltar a debater este assunto e irei publicar um guião para vocês seguirem. Mais tarde irão refazer as vossas apresentações.
