Your purpose in creating this Exhibit should be to 1). become an expert about one particular journal or organization; and 2). to demonstrate this journal or organization in such a way that your classmates will be excited about subscribing or joining.

Blogs have become so important that you may consider them in the category of Journals.  However, choose one that is very active and substantial - many do not fit this category.  The GLMA Blog would be a good one to consider.

Organizations include:

Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT)
Georgia Association for Instructional Technology (GAIT)
American Library Association (ALA)
American Association of School Librarians (AASL)
Georgia Library Media Association (GLMA)
International Association of School Librarians (IASL)
National Education Association (NEA)
Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE)

----or----
any professional organization concerned with school library media, libraries, or educational technology

Journals:

See You Are the Key for a good list (in the Resources section).

Task
Choose your journal or organization - first come, first served.  Register your choice with the Exhibition Manager.  Begin researching your topic.  Also, explore 2.0 technologies and select one for your exhibit. 

Prepare an online presentation for our class  that covers the points in the rubric below.   Choose a "Web 2.0" tool that is freely accessible to everyone (without login or cost).  Create an exhibit that will be self-explanatory, memorable, and an adequate opportunity for viewers to get a good overview of the journal or organization. Critiques are not expected here. Make sure to assess your own presentation in the column provided in the rubric.

On the scheduled day, we will meet online. A detailed agenda will be provided, but reserve the day as usual. We will spend most of it "visiting" the exhibits. Meet in the Wimba classroom to handle business early, go our separate ways to visit the Exhibits, then reconvene at the end of the day for Wacky aWards. Leave a brief comment at each Exhibit, if possible. Send award nominations to me via Skype Chat. (Categories are completely open.)  

The resulting link collection will provide an index to many important SLM resources.  We might also pick up some new 2.0 tricks as well. (I recommend that you choose a tool that is just slightly beyond your familiarity zone - don't make it too hard, technically.)
