C-11+Design+Library

=**Welcome to the Cadre 11 WebMind-Sharing Design Library!** =

====This is an index to the new collaborative tools that were chosen by cadre 11 of Pepperdine University's students in the online Masters in Educational Technology (OMET) program. The student share their experience in distributed learning and cognition as "webgifts to one another in their cadre and to those who visit here. Each of these students have selected one of the many new and free "web 2.0" application to first learn about and then create or collect the tools that will help us learn about the tool as easily as possible. Finally they created a small learning adventure to help us see an example of how this new application might be used by the cadre in learning or teaching contexts. Each person agrees to be the expert on this tool and is open for answering questions you might have. We hope you enjoy this library of applications. Feel free to share your ideas for how this might be used in your classroom. On each application page, there is a discussion tab. Feel free to start a discussion or share your use of any of these tools. We encourage Pepperdine cross-cadre communication and enjoy comments from any visitor or guest about these tools. ====
