=**__Here is the task copied from the Walden site for Week 4:__** //"For the Application Assignment in Week 4, you and your colleagues will create a rubric for the Assessment Photo Album that outlines the qualities of an excellent product. Contact your group members this week, introduce yourself, and begin to discuss your ideas about creating a high-quality Assessment Photo Album for your Course Project. Become familiar with free online document sharing and collaboration tools. One of the goals of this course is to enhance your integrated technology skills and help you develop your own 21st-century learning goals. As your group begins to network about Assessment Photo Album ideas and qualities of excellent performance, you are required to find a social networking collaboration tool to share documents among your group. By Week 4, make sure your group has selected a site, tried it out, and is ready to share documents and network using this tool."// =

==__Ahead:__ //"////As your group begins to network about Assessment Photo Album ideas and qualities of excellent performance, you will be expected to find a social networking collaboration tool to share documents among your colleagues. For your course project, you will create an Assessment Photo Album, which is the "big picture" view to share with your students to help them begin with the end in mind and understand the learning goals of the unit. The Photo Album will visually represent the various assessment methods that will help you and your students measure their progress towards the learning goals of your unit. For this Course Project, you will use the interdisciplinary unit of study you designed in a previous course or another interdisciplinary unit.// == =//Your Assessment Photo Album will present to your students the learning goals and assessments in your unit in a manner that is interesting and engaging. In some weeks, you will work on the Photo Album as one of your Application activities and, in other weeks, you will work on the Photo Album outside the Discussion and Application activities. In the Applications, you will revise and refine your assessments in your plan. As you do so, you will use a Web 2.0 presentation tool to create an Assessment Photo Album that you will eventually share with your students prior to teaching the unit. Your completed Assessment Photo Album will include an overview of the following for the unit:// = = =
