Kevin Honeycutt: Guest Speaker in class April 8
Who is Kevin Honeycutt?
Kevin will be providing you with his presentation filled with links and resources. Campus students will watch live during class, but I would like to invite online students to attend class on Monday. If you cannot attend you will watch the hour and a half recording.

OK, the recording of the live part did not record. Not sure why, but the video presentation is the first thing in the Wakelet. All the resources you should explore are in the Wakelet, and make sure you explore his twitter feed. He was tweeting throughout the presentation.
The assignment: Explore everything, watch the video, if you were in class you already watched the video and got the added advantage of the live discussion. , Make sure you explore everything in the Waklet and then write a reflection of your learning. These reflections will be shared with Kevin. And know him he will pull quotes and tweet them out!!
Because I will be sharing these, Please do not turn in late!!!! Get them done by 5 pm on Sunday, April 14. If late 1/2 credit. I usually do not take that many points off for late, but for this one, I am giving you fair warning.
Title your Post Kevin Honeycutt and make sure you include links to everything you are discussing. This should be about your personal learning from the presentation and the resources.
For your Assignment: Be creative.

Announcement: HELP Needed
Create your own Wakelet (Due Week 15)
Wakelet: an awesome tool
I been using Wakelet for a bit now and am quite excited about the possibilities of Wakelet for its use in the classroom and even for students to use. I am still using Pinterest, mine has 100+ boards and nearly 15,000 resources pinned, so truthfully getting a bit overwhelming.
I discovered Wakelet and have been creating collections for SPECIFIC topics. You have seen a few already this semester.
Wakelet allows you to share articles, videos, images, tweets, files and other great content with one link. Save them for later and create collections, called wakes, at any time.
- Save: Use Wakelet to save links to great content that you find online – articles, videos, blogs, tweets, sound files and much more. Adding items is easy. Just copy and paste the links or add them straight from our browser extension.
- Curate: Arrange your saved items into stunning collections called wakes. Wakes can be public or private and created on any topic - share a passion, promote your business, or gather research. You can also make your wakes personal by adding notes, reordering items, changing layouts and much more.
- Share: Wakes can be shared anywhere online, either with a single link or by embedding them using an embed code. It’s easy to share your wakes with your friends, family and colleagues… or even the world!
- Just like the wakes that boats and planes create, every wake you create leaves a path for others to follow.
- Wakes show progress, easily help you build stories and ensure that the content you spent time finding is never buried or lost.
Check out one of my Wakelets, my collections are growing, I am even using it personally!! http://wke.lt/w/s/TtwDJ
And here are a few I found others created using the EXPLORE button at the top of the page.

- Learning Spanish Online-14 items-Aim for the remainder of the year: Learn Spanish without having to go to classes. These are some of the sites and softwares that I found so far to hopefully get me there! http://wke.lt/w/s/WxVCq
- Get Hyped for Back To School!- 27 items- Back to school is right around the corner & sometimes it is hard to let go of summer. This collection is all about getting hyped to get back to school.

So what are you going to do?
This is not due until Week 15. Do. not wait until week 15 to begin, start now!!
You will provide the Link to your Wakelet profile. For example, this is my Wakelet Profile link to all my Wakelets http://wke.lt/w/s/TtwDJ.
What you need to know and do:
- 5 different collections
- Not less than 10 resources in each collection
- 5 collections x 10 resources each = 50 resources total. (this is minimum, you can have more and I hope you do.)
- 250 points. In other words, 5 x 50 = 250
Look at the examples, think about units and topics you have to teach. RESEARCH THAT SPECIFIC TOPIC AND FIND NOT LESS THAN 10 VALUABLE RESOURCES YOU CLOULD USE IN YOUR TEACHING LIFE.
For example, you are an elementary teacher, yup, you teach everything. Pick a grade level and create a collection for each subject you might teach (reading, writing, social studies, science, math, etc. But maybe consider taking it one step farther, let's take social studies, in 4th grade they do explorers, make a collection with all the resources you might need for the Explores unit.
THE MORE SPECIFIC AND LIMITED YOUR COLLECTION TOPIC THE EASIER FOR YOU LATER.
For example, you are a secondary journalism teacher. So collections might be editorial writing, feature writing, sports writing, photography, layout & design, newspapers my students need to read, graphics, copyright, etc.
In other words, make your collection extremely specific on one topic.
