Invitation to CLIx (i2C)

Invitation to CLIx (i2c) is the first course of the Connected Learning Initiative (CLIx). The course has a lot of fun filled activities, to be done in your own computer lab. First we transform our computer lab into a tiny Internet by connecting all the computers to each other. Then we begin to send messages, share pictures and drawings to each other using this local computer network. This means, we are going to use computers to create a nice social network within our school. This is our new connected learning environment. We use this space to learn together.

During this course we learn to effectively use an Internet browser, make colourful drawings, make posters, write stories, exchange our comments with each other, learn how to write blogs, provide feed-back to each other and many many other activities (like simulations, experiments, modeling, field research projectes etc). Eventually we use this new connected learning environment to learn science, mathematics and English communication.
Most activities in this course are done with each other. That is we do the activities and we learn how to do them along with others. We share each others knowledge, resources, help others and also seek help from others.

The course content is already loaded into this server in your lab. A server is a computer that responds to your requests through an Internet browser. Since this course includes many videos, pictures and other software programs, it is not practical to give you all of it as a printed text book. But we have made a small workbook for you.  Make sure you get a copy of the book. The workbook does not have all the details, use it only as a planner.

This is an activity based course. Each time we go to the lab, we do an activity. This workbook has a list of all the activities. For every small activity we gain points, just as we get when when we play a game you gain points. A summary of the points (called analytics) gained will be shown to us on the overview page of the course.

Though most of the work will be done on the computer, we may do some projects outside the lab.
