Tuesday's Schedule and Sites to Visit

You all did GREAT yesterday! We saved 11 sites to the Delicious list for teachers and students to use!! Do you think we can reach 100 sites by Friday? For Tuesday our goal is between 10-15 sites. (Then we will need to start averaging 20 a day to reach 100 by Friday.)

Today's goal will be to review/play with two sites and save them both to the Delicious site. The first sites you visit today will be centered around sites that teachers and/or students can use to make life easier or to help create presentations. With a parnter you will visit one of the sites I have listed below. The 2nd site you visit can be an educational game/fun site from this blog (make sure someone else has not already saved it to the Delicious site). You can continue to do this with a partner or work alone.

Things to Remember (TTR) - Use RIGHT CLICK to open Delicious in a NEW TAB. Use RIGHT CLICK to open any website you are reviewing in a NEW TAB. Keep Blog and Delicious site open so you can keep going back. You can hit REFRESH every now and again to see new posts in either sites.

Your schedule:
1. Read the blog - you are doing that right now! (read the post just under this one to see your graph)
2. Answer the poll (survey) below, if it works or do it at the END of class.
3. Partner up (Mrs. Poulin has sat you next to a partner) and visit the site assigned to your group - the links are posted on the SummerScapesTechCamp Wiki. (right click the link to open).
4. Play around and learn about the site, then add it to the Delicious site.
5. Visit another site from the link list on this blog on your own or with a partner. Add it to the Delicious site.
6. Reflect on what you did today by posting a comment to this blog post.

This is the graph from your "Have you ever . . ." excel survey. It is not very easy to see here, but I did finally get it to work correctly. I only needed to use the title cells and the TOTALS, not all of the individual cells under your names. After yesterday, however, these results have already changed!

Art Zone Review

I visited Art Zone today. At Art Zone you can make a bunch of art stuff like spray painting, and making still lifes, and playing with landscaping and virtual art like painting and coloring. I liked the site. I liked it because it was fun to play around with virtual art and make stuff. Other students should visit this website, like elementary, middle and high school students. I made this picture with the Jungle link on Art Zone. -KS
