9/30/2014 September 30, 2014We are in the process of completing the post to share learning about Creative Commons licensing and expanding knowledge through the use of a KWL Chart. I have been leaving comments for students on the two tables they completed in a Google Doc (based on the Digital Citizenship 1 assignment) to be sure they are on the right track before completing the sharing part of the assignment. They have also been using the Google Research tool to collect the citations for their sources of information. Today we had a slight detour to discuss the difference between a "pauperpoint" and a "powerpoint" as eighth grade is completing group presentations in both science and social studies. After a short student created video highlighting do's and don'ts of presentations, we discussed font, contrast, and the importance of images more than text on a slide. In fact, if everything you plan to say is already on the slide, we don't need you! We will read it ourselves! Students also had a chance to view the Discovery Social Studies Techbook, a resource we have available to us for a limited time, in order to search for images for their colonies project. The Digital Citizenship assignment should be completed by the end of class on October 7. Comments are closed.
