Your thoughts on technology...

What is your generation talking about in regards to technology? What is new out there that I might not know about since I grew up in a different era? How do you think technology can be used to enhance your learning process? Please comment and tell me your thoughts!

Parent Participation

Do you want extra credit points? It is really important to me that this blog is useful not only to you, but also to your parents. I want you to show them this blog so that it is a resource for them too and help them make a comment--if they don't know how to do this. This means you have to figure it out too!

If you have your parents post a question or a comment onto this blog, I will give you 5 extra credit points. They can ask a question about the literature we are reading, an assignment you are working on, or comment on the use of technology in the classroom.

Character Notes Due Tomorrow!

Don't forget to finish your character notes tonight because they are due tomorrow!

Challenge Project Proposals

There are three things you need to include in your challenge project proposal:
1) Description of your project
2) Explanation of why you are interested in the project and what you hope to learn.
3) Your preliminary research (in MLA format--see the first entry of your reading log and the half sheets you got in the library on citations)

Challenge project proposals, as well as the challenge project itself, must be typed! They will never be accepted if they are not typed. They are never accepted late--so make sure you get this in on time!
