static and dynamic mind map
I have posted my mind map at the following Link; http://www.slideshare.net/hank9/mind-map-briggs-h. I have not been able to embed my graphics in my blog yet.
I understand the differences in static and dynamic technologies and media. My mind map is the view I have. I tried some mind mapping software to create my map, however the ones I tried did not work out.
The manner in which computer technology and media are evolving the connection between static and dynamic technologies can get pretty blurry. The two technologies and media continues to grow by collaborating and sharing data. The user should be able to correlate the data at the various sites to increase their ability to obtain information that will enable them to disseminate and construct knowledge. I have not taught any online courses, however I would like to believe when I do my leaning would be closer to the dynamic side of technologies. The reason I say this is because I feel any technology or media used for knowledge acquisition is good. The dynamic side of the continuum appears to be more convenient and user friendly.

Community Participation
All students should be aware of the guidelines given by the instructor for participation in the community (Palloff & Pratt, 2007). The instructor should also stepin and inform students if their participation begin to wane (Palloff & Pratt, 2005). Other students should encourage the student that seems to be reluctant to participate in the community by asking the reluctant participant questions on the topic to encourage them to answer. Talking about other subjects besides the topic at hand can motivate participation.
Members of the community can assess each participant. Grading rubrics should be included in the course. Self-reflection should be part of the assessment. The instructor can also assess students on their skills and knowledge. Some students may have advanced skills and may not display the growth of students that are not as advanced and this should be taken into consideration when grading the student (Siemens, 2008). " Students need a road map not only to guide the activity, but also to know how that activity will be assessed and evaluated" (Palloff & Pratt, 2005).
