1.
Click Start a New Topic: Entering your new topic starts a file so your
work can be saved. That way you can return to it later to update your work.
Fill out the Form and click Spin this Thing. The
next time you you want to return to your site, you should click "Edit
an Existing Page" to go to the site. MAKE SURE
YOU RECORD YOUR ID AND PASSWORD AND KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE. THERE ISN'T ANY
WAY TO RETRIEVE IT IF YOU FORGET IT.
2. After you register,
you'll get a chance to edit your basic information. Next you'll get
started by clicking on one of the items on the menu bar at the bottom of the
page.
3. To get started
click "Add Links".
Once you have added some links, you can edit them or create an online
activity (Hotlist is the simplest option, but you can explore all the formats).
In the Add Links stage of Filamentality, you'll collect and record
links to Internet sites related to your topic.(Use some Search techniques
to find the sites.) The pool of links you gather here will form the
basis of the Hotlist, Scrapbook, Hunt, Sampler, and/or WebQuest
you create later. Filamentality will prompt you to enter information into
text boxes. Make sure you type each URL accurately. You will also type
the name of the link and a short description.Next you will click
"Edit Links" in the menu at the bottom of the page to save
your information.
4. In the Edit
Link mode, you can now check to see if the links work. Click on each link.
If you need to make changes (or check your links), you can use Edit Links.
Just make your changes and click the menu item Edit Links at the bottom of
the page. This will save any changes you have made. You might want to check
corrected links once again.
5. Clicking anywhere
on the menu will always save any information you've entered on that page.
6. After gathering
links, you'll use those links to create an activity such as a Hotlist
or a Sampler. On the "Hotlist (or Sampler)" page, you can customize
your Hotlist (Sampler) with your own title and introduction. You can even categorize links.
When you have several links you may want to group the links you found into
categories that will help your learners. You can organize your links with
up to 5 categories. Just type the categoires into the boxes provided.Next
you can fit your links into the categories.
7. After you customize
your Hotlist (or Sampler), make sure you clikc "Hotlist" again and
Filamentality builds it for you and puts it on the Web! You'll get a quick
look at your page for proofing. From here, you can go back and change your
Hotlist (or Sampler) or the links, or you can move on to another activity
format (Scrapbook, Hunt, Sampler, or WebQuest). You can create several formats
using the same links.
8. When you see
the final format, you can register your new topic.
9. You can go
back to your site to make changes at another time by clicking on "Return
to an Existing Topic" when you go to the Filamentality site.
10 . You can add
additional links, make changes or create additional formats (activities).
11. Now that you
have created a Hotlist, Scrapbook, Treasure Hunt, Sampler, or WebQuest, you
will find that these online activities include everything the learner will
need on one Web page.
HAVE
A GREAT TOUR!
