Class VII

30% of the class was out for illness.  I was planning to go over the creation of a webquest in the initial plan, but didn't want to go over all the instructions again.  I decided to "switch gears" and instead show the students who were present how to create iMovies and videos.  To follow-up, I assigned the reading of chapter 12 which is about movies.  The multi-media project will involve making movies, but the movie won't be the main focus.  Webquest is a major project in itself, so I want to devote plenty of time to it, and to the entire class.
We'll see how that works.

Class VI

We established Delicious accounts and discussed evaluating websites.  Then we discussed conducting searches and search engines.  Not an outstanding class, pretty average.
