Survivor

On Web 2.0
Island

It's your unlucky day! Your plane has crashed
on Web 2.0 island that has nothing but sand, trees, rocks, and
mysteriously enough, a computer with WiFi. You better form a tribe and
figure out how to survive long enough to get rescued. If you are
sucessful at these challenges you will be a survivor. Unless of course,
the canibals get you first.

You are the
Badger Tribe. You need to find a photo to identify your tribe. Use
www.flickr.com/search/advanced.

To
make sure you get a photo that is legal to use, go to the bottom of the page and
check the box that says:Only search within Creative
Commons-licensed content. Then search for a photo of a
badger. Fill in the answer form with what you find.

You need a way to
communicate with your tribe when you are out on challenges. If you
complete a challenge, go to your tribe form and answer the question for the
challenge you completed.

Here's the link to
the form for your tribe.

Familiarity with print and books: It's important for your child
to know that people read words, not pictures, and that the words she sees in
print are related to the words she speaks and hears. She also needs to know how
books work — that you begin with the cover right-side up and move from front to
back, one page at a time.
