Wednesday, July 28

Today was a very exciting day! We were able to apply all of the information we have been saturated with since the first day. I was able to work with VoiceThread, Google Maps, as well as powerpoint. I found that it just takes time to navigate around these sites to learn how to apply the information. I am a bit more confident with my abilities.
My project I hope is progressing in a positive way. My project is going to have students create a mini-ancestry chart as well as creating a world map on google maps with locations of where their family is from as well as places they have travelled and where their interests lie. It is my hope that the presentation for this class goes in a positive direction and is understandable to the rest of the class.
I look forward t o tomorrow and continuing to play around with the programs. Another hope I have for our next meeting will be more hands-on application on the SMARTBoard, as I will be using one in the new school year.
