Friday, September 25, 2015 All Stuff
Hey guys,
Sorry I'm not here today. As you know I felt pretty awful yesterday, so this is a continuation of what we're dealing with.
Here's what we have ahead of us. 1st, 3rd, and 4th you guys need to go help with digital portfolios for the rooms listed. They are just setting up there Google Sites and you guys will do the same thing you did with me when we went into the French Classrooms.
Secondly, I updated the due dates for everything for us. We'll watch the Zeitgeists on Monday (which are due today into your Google Folder -- I'll know I created the folder and it says when it was last editted). So that means on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we will revamp the Help Desk Website. Which is your next project.
Thirdly, here is your blog
- What's the point of the dislike button?
- What is the new front page?
- What have people done w/ links they like?
- What's the difference between traditional readers and Facebook readers?
- What do you "like?" Do you do it often?
- What's the purpose of Facebook?
Lastly, You have homework tonight. YOUR FINAL DRAFT OF YOUR GOOGLE RESEARCH QUESTIONS IS DUE. You must put it in your blog to get credit. After Monday, you have entered the point of no return meaning you will not be able to change your question. You will not be able to add a new one. So make sure that you have put the question on the blog. We are going to do something cool with it. DON'T FORGET TO DO THIS!!!
Thanks!
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.
