After our class discussion (and looking at these examples) on different fallacious and logical arguments, it is time for you to research other examples of fallacies and, using Web 2.0 technology, create a project to model an example of an fallacious argument.
Here is the outline of what you are expected to do:
1.Using your favourite web browser, look up some examples of Web 2.0 online tools and applications and find one that you would like to use to create your project (look under the Web 2.0 Resources tab above for some examples, although you are not limited to these)
2. Research some examples of fallacies and choose one that you would like to use to model your fallacy.
3. Go to my Wallwisher Fallacy Sign-up Page and submit a post-it note with three things: a) your name; b) which fallacy you are going to cover and; c) which Web 2.0 tool you intend to use. You can not use a fallacy that someone else is using so make sure you read all of the other posts that are there and refresh the page before you post. First to post has first option.
4. Check in with me to get the official approval for both your fallacy, and the Web 2.0 tool you would like to utilize (this step is important to make sure that there are no overlaps in fallacies, and that you have considered the best format for what you want to achieve).
5. Create and submit either a storyboard, or an A-Z proposal about what you would like to create. This will be the rough draft for your project and the best way to prevent frustration down the road.
6. Get to it! (if you have ANY questions at all, please ask! That's what I am here for.)
7. Once your project is completed, you will need to revisit your original Wallwisher post and edit it by including a brief description of your fallacy, which web 2.0 source you used, and post a link to your project on the wall.
8. Your final responsibility is to visit some of your classmates posts and see what their projects look like and for at least one peer offer two positive comments, and one area that could be improved upon in the Fallacy Blog. This is found here, or on the drop-down menu on the fallacies tab;not in the Chapters Blog.
* Note: Most of the Web 2.0 tools are free, or have trial periods that you can take advantage of. Please make sure that when you sign up for these that you use an email address that you can access while in school, and choose a password that you will remember.
