Task

= **Homework - please come prepared!**  =

= Online Email Account    = We will be signing you up to a variety of web 2.0 accounts over the course of the day. When signing up for these tools, you are required to enter an email address. You will then be sent an email to confirm your email address is valid before you can use the tool. This means that you will need an email account that you can check during the workshop. Web based email addresses are great for this such as Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo.

If you don't have one of these already, set up a Gmail account because this involves getting a Google Account which you will need for other tools as well. It will save us time if you have this done BEFORE the workshop day. Go to this address to sign up and make sure you have your username and password safely written down and with you on the day: http://mail.google.com/mail/signup

= Choosing a Context    = You will be exploring a concept on the day related to Christchurch and the area where the workshop is being held. You will be using the web 2.0 tools to gather information, analyse and present in relation to this context. You can select one of the context options below OR come up with your own. It doesn't matter if more than one group want to do the same context - just pick something of interest to you.

Decide on your preferred location/ locations
We will be leaving the building to do some exploration in relation to your chosen context for around one hour. This is where the digital cameras and mobile phones will come into play. To select a place to visit as part of your inquiry, see the Google Map below - click on the placemarks to see more detail about some of the places near the workshop space. If the map moves sideways when the information opens, you can move the map back to the original position by clicking on the map and dragging it. Remember you only have one hour so be realistic when deciding on locations.

//If the weather is bad, then we will have to adapt some of the contexts and use the internet to do our research or go to inside locations such as the museum.// media type="custom" key="1928256" = =
