Welcome!
This is the home page for an activity I created for my Psychology students entitled - Who is Sigmund Freud. The objectives of this activity are as follows:
This is the home page for an activity I created for my Psychology students entitled - Who is Sigmund Freud. The objectives of this activity are as follows:
There are 3 parts to this activity. The first is a sample project presentation entitled Who is Sigmund Freud. It is an example of what would be an acceptable group project for this course. As you view the sample project, consider the criteria that this instructor will use to grade your project. You will earn points as indicated below for scoring this project using the rubric in the criteria.
The second component of this activity is the lessons we will cover in class that should give you the basic skills to create a web site. To download a copy of these lessons, you will find the appropriate PDF link on each page of the lesson. This version includes the pictures on the page. If you prefer a text only copy (12 pages long), you can download that by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page.
The lessons will cover how to create web pages, add links, insert images and save your web site in a folder. Each student will complete his/her own individual web site for credit; this will be a simple 2-page endeavor completed as we work on the lessons. You will give me a floppy disk containing your web site at the end of the lab sessions; don't forget to put your name on it. In addition, each group will complete a web site and will give me a disk with this site on it as well. You will hand in the group disk as indicated on the schedule. This is not intended to be a perfect work but an opportunity to practice. The web site you complete with your group is not meant to be your final project but it may get you started on your final project.
The third component involves playing a game I call Projection. This is where you can earn points of credit for this activity. The points are explained in the next section. But before we go on, please realize that I am using the term "projection" differently than Freud did so don't let my attempt at a pun confuse you.
The main objective of the game Projection is for you to enjoy learning how to use technology to create and present information online. Having said that, there are some other criteria for earning points during the game. The degree to which your group is able to successfully complete the game will determine the amount of points you receive for playing. Points will be awarded as follows:

* Note: the web page must contain the items outlined under "Rules for playing Projection" for players to be awarded full points.
The rules for playing Projection are quite simple. After you view the sample project, Who is Sigmund Freud, we will complete several lessons in creating, saving and editing web pages As you complete the activities in the lessons, you will have time to practice the skills you learn. You will earn points as you progress with the lessons and create your web pages. Here are the rules for Projection:
1. As an individual, critic the sample project using the criteria and complete the project evaluation form that can be downloaded from the criteria page.
2. As you complete the lessons, save your work to a disk; this will be the disk you hand in with your individual web site folder.
3. As a group, select a question you want to gather information on in order to create a web page. The question can be anything that relates somehow to the sample project or to your final group project. It might be about Freud, art, dreams, etc. OR, you may use this as an opportunity to begin your final group project for this class. You can be as imaginative as you would like and I do not expect your pages to be perfect. This is meant as fun practice not a perfect product.
4. Use the Internet to gather information for your page. You can either search using the library web site, Google or any other search engine.
5. Include images and URLs on your web page. How to do this will be covered in our lessons.
6. Save your pages in a folder on the desktop while you are working but also save them to a disk. You don't want to lose any work in progress if your computer has a problem.
7. Select roles for the game as follows:
These are roles that you could also use within your group as you work on the main group project for this course. I hope that playing Projection will assist you in getting to know one another so you can work together effectively as a team to complete your semester group project. This would be a good time to begin discussing the project topic. In fact, some clever people might start working on their project during the game. Use this time to have fun and/or get a head start on your group project.
If you don't have any questions, I believe we are ready to begin! Start by viewing the sample project by clicking the link below. You may wish to print a copy of the criteria first using the PDF link below so that you can review it and refer to this rubric while you are viewing the sample project. After you are done, we will be ready to begin the lessons.
