CLASS ACTIVITY. During TCCfx, or within 24 hours after recording links are posted, tweet 5-6 times. Share resources cited, your thoughts about the session or subject being discussed. In other words, your tweets should be relevant to this event and this class. The goal is for the entire class to post 100-150 tweets. Use the HASH TAG: #tccfx.

After Friday, review ALL tweets posted by searching for the hash tag "tccfx." Write a brief summary of your observations, thoughts or reflection about the utility of Twitter for an academic conference. Use this summary for your Week 9 blog post. Alternatively, you may use Storify to create a storyline about TCCfx.

Post the link to your blog post, along with its title, in the SM4Ed Facebook community.

COLLABORATIVE VIDEO PROJECT
Continue to collaborate with your team members. Keep in mind that the qualities of a successful collaboration experience involves trust, respect, patience, understanding, taking responsibility, and leadership.

Following this week's team submittal to the CVP Google+ community, Progress report #1 will be due next week. See the CVP resources page for templates to use for your report. You are, however, free to use any format that provides the same information.
