Participate 1.1.2 Joining a Digital Learning Community Quest
Join one of the DLCs from the list (or another of personal interest). Consider how citizens in an online environment find a reputable digital community that aligns with their particular interests and needs. Afterward, in a blog post, share and discuss the traits that made the five DLCs explored more noticeable or impressive than the others. Finally, share the name of the DLC joined and the reason why the DLC was the most intriguing.
What is the DLC like? What can Digital Citizens do to make the process of joining a DLC more appealing to and easier for students?
The five DLC sites I visited were:
1) College Board AP Chemistry teachers board
2) Khan Academy
3) Common Sense Media
4) Shmoop
5) Crash Course
These particular sites were noticeable because of their focused theme. Each of them clearly defined the purpose of their sites. They each contain a wealth of information, yet they were easy to navigate and search.
The site I joined was the College Board AP Chemistry teachers board. The reason I joined is because I teach this class. What was most intriguing about it was that not only did it have a comprehensive forum, with very high participation, it also had links to additional resources shared by the CB and also other teachers.
