Watched Greg's presentation on the pedogogy and use of eTEACH for lecture presentations. There was no video editing instruction. Got to login to eteach.doit.wisc.edu and try hands-on assembly of eTEACH presentation.

We discussed the use, pros, and cons of using "wikis" to create collaborative learning opportunities for students. The wiki is the document and all members can contribute to the content of the document.

I would like to create a CS310TA wiki for collecting all of the valuable information and resources that all TAs provide for new TAs to learn the expectations and requirements of their respective course. Guidelines must be established to help create a positive framework for this information. The TAs would be members and allowed to contribute to the document as long as they remain a TA of the course.

My wikis: cs310 csTAS

More information and help is available at: wiscwikis.wikispaces.com.

Learned some historical perspective on the Wisconsin Idea, that the work and research that is done at the UW-Madison is and should be made available to the larger community of the state as a whole and to an even broader global audience. We saw podcasting examples.

I will considering using podcasting for CS310 news items, a Matlab glossary, and possibily interviews with Field Engineers regarding the skills they need and use the most. Contact Writing (Journalism) people for assistance with interview questions and release forms.
