There isn't anything harder than waiting for a vacation to arrive. There is so much energy and excitement in the air. I know it's hard, but we all need to try and keep a little bit of peace and calmness in our days. You will be using this time, whatever little you may have, to work on your blogging presentations. I will not be in on Monday, but I am confident my students will work very hard for Mrs. "D" and impress her not only with their presentations, but also with their work ethic!!
So what exactly should you be doing during class you may ask? You will want to take out your storyboard (recipe) and finish putting all of your text and images in your presentation. Be sure you include your citations. Remember you have the choice to put them on the slide with the information or to create on citation slide (zoom) at the end of your masterpiece. Once you have all of the content loaded in, you will want to work on the attractiveness component of the project. If you are struggling with "how to" be sure to use that "HELP" tab on the top of the page. You may also use the many other resources (students) or search the Internet for help. Once you feel you are "done" be sure to carefully look over your presentation using your rubric. A good way to check your work is to pretend you are me. Think about how I would assess this project using that rubric (it is what I will be doing after all.)
If you are satisfied you have done your absolute best and it is ready to share with the rest of us (and the world), you may go back to your blog and work on it. You can work on the design, or even get another post ready to go. Please DO NOT upload or publish a new post before I look at it. In fact, it would be a good idea to create it as a Google doc. You could share it with me so I can look it over before it goes "live." You will need to send me an email letting me know you have a post waiting to be checked. If you aren't in the mood to work on your blog, you may check out the latest posts coming in to your Google Reader. You may also search for other blogs and subscribe to them. Have fun!
During our second class this week we will be messing around with web cameras!!! So get ready to say, "cheese!"
