The seniors are well into their blogging experience. This week they had to complete one research lesson plan in addition to Challenge #3. For their research lesson they were to write an informational piece of at least 300 words, include a short quote with a hyperlink back to their source, and post a relevant picture (with citation) to go along. This week's challenge consisted of examining our digital footprints we are leaving behind (sometimes scary stuff), digital citizenship, and commenting…See More

Even though this was a short week there seem to be a whole lot going on. The seniors are continuing to blog. Although it was a slow start we are all beginning to the knack of it. I am enjoying reading the student's post. It is an exciting process, and I believe that we are learning many new tech skills. I did not give the students a "research blog" assignment this week. I thought since it was a short week they could concentrate on just doing the 2nd challenge.The 2nd challenge consisted of…See More
