Hi-ho, Hi-ho, it's back to work we go...

I was a little nervous to get back to class tonight. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by all that we had to do, but it was all good once we were back. Karl and I had chosen to form a group for our History of IT project, but still needed a third. Luckily, Vicky was still looking for a group so we immediately joined forces.

Knowing that we were under a time crunch, we jumped right in and got our video tutorial observations, rubric, and some research completed. I'm really glad that I found a group that is as energetic and productive as I like to be. The best part? We have an extra week to complete our projects! phew!

We used bubbl.us to create our map of the video tutorials we watched. Karl also created a rubric in rubistar then exported it to excel for grading ourselves on our role for the project. Vicky was able to find a lot of great research on our topic, Instructional Technology and the Influence of the Military. Karl also remembered a New York Times article he read about technology in the middle east (his idea of light reading) that we're excited to share. (not just yet though!)

And in honor of the ASK test this week, I leave you with a few popular math jokes...

  1. I love the jokes, Shana! We all need a little humor about this time of year! I'm not sure whether you wanted your links to go to the map you created in Bubblus and your rubric; however, the links take you to their home pages. By the way, that's the way I'd find "X" too!

  2. Haha, I've seen these jokes several times, but every time they make me laugh.

    I can't wait to finish up our project!
