OK, so it's been almost a month now. There are still some "bugs" to work out, but all in all, things have been moving along smoothly. The students have truly embraced the use of technology (as if anyone had doubts!!!), and we already have a few "postable" projects completed. They've done a Keynote presentation focused around demonstrating their learning of words created from the Latin root "PED" (foot). They've also recorded audio or video reflections on what they learned and what they think about 9/11 and what it means to us and the world. This was done after a few sessions of internet research, using history.com as our main resource.
The students themselves have also been a source of digital tech resources. Several students regularly bring in and use their own devices, from iPods to Nooks and laptops. I really appreciate their responsibility. It also helps "spread the wealth," since now more students have access to tech at the same time. There's less waiting and switching.
I hope to have examples of these products posted soon. I need to, since we already have other creations on the way!!!
