Exploring SocialBook Web Page

In the ETEC 540: Text Technologies: The Changing Spaces of Reading and Writing course, I contributed to a group project creating a Weebly website. Our group project was examined SocialBook, a technology for collaborative reading— which, while a great idea, never caught on.

I chose this artifact as part of the ETEC590 capstone project because it fits with the web metaphor. For our group project we explored SocialBook through the lens of how the technologies modifies the reading and writing processes and collaboration process. But as I reflected on the course afterwards, I realized that aspects of this project intersect which the knowledge I gained in the  ETEC 565A: Learning Technologies: Selection, Design and Application course.
