  3. What you will learn today: • What is Filamentality • Why you might use it • How to use it • How others are using it

  4. Some questions... • How do I actually use the Web in the classroom or library? • How do I make Web pages and post them on the Internet?

  5. One possible answer... Filamentality http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil

  6. What does Filamentality do? • Blends your learning goals with the many resources available on the Web • guides you through the complete instructional design process • lets you focus on instruction instead of HTML and graphics

  7. Okay, Okay...we’ll tell you in real English: • provides you with a web-activity template that prompts you for Web site info., titles, introductions, questions, etc. • builds the Web page for you and posts it on the Web • provides online support that helps you pick a topic, search, write good questions, etc.

  8. Who is supposed to use it? • teachers • students • media specialists/librarians • technology trainers for schools • Internet newbies • Web authors (for rapid prototyping)

  9. Hit me over the head with it one more time!!! • You can create a Web-based learning activity that targets a specific kind of learning! • You get to create Web pages without knowing HTML! • Your page is immediately posted on the Internet (that’s right, you get your very own www-dot-thingy)!

  10. The Filamentality Process: • start with a topic • choose a format based on your learning goal(s) • gather links • scaffold the links with instructions, questions, etc. see the “guided tour” once you are in Filamentality

  11. Filamentality Formats: • Hotlist • Treasure Hunt • Sampler • Scrapbook • WebQuest see guides for details

  12. How others are using Filamentality... • Web activities for students (check out the Filamentality registry) • Training (see guide for Trainers) • Student-created and published work • Collaborative activities

  13. So what’s the idea behind the word “Filamentality”? • “Filaments” are the fine individual strands of a spider’s web. • “Mentality” is the brain’s thinking capacity. • So...”Filamentality” helps you spin pieces of the Web into your own Web-based learning activities.

  14. Before we begin “the spin”, return to the tutorial: • Use the “Go” menu above and see if you can go all the way back to the Filamentality Module Intro page (should be toward the bottom of the menu) • If you have lost the this page, go to the following address: http://scilnet.fortlewis.edu/edtech/Filament/default.htm
