Here's my WIKI-WIKI

Goals for 10.29-30.08 ~Become more comfortable with varying tools/databases online which can be utilized in the classroom ~Develop a project which can be used in the classroom, preferably around //Persepolis// ~

Room 233 Rules! ~ Our kids have been super flexible with the varying levels of technology that they have been able to use ~Creating almost scavenger hunts with different workshops, so that they are moving but also have to focus, by downloading different workshops on different computers

Woes ~Full tech. has been slow-a-comin ~I am not Mac-Savvy ~ PHOTOBOOTH has been used for evil and not good. boo!

BREAK-OUT and TAKE IT AWAY! The photo-story idea was used to make a documentary based on varying essential/driving questions. I really like this idea, and am feeling like using it could certainly engage the students more.

The tool allows the students to easily infuse the project with as much of themselves as they choose, and also gives them options when it comes to presentation. I LOVE THIS. It gives the more shy students a chance to gauge how much time they are comfortable speaking in front of the class.
