Virtual Penpals, Google Maps, & Digital Story.

Hey ladies.
We have a lot of work this week. If anyone is familiar with Google documents and would like to start our description of a project with Epals speak up :].  Also, after we complete that, we must make some sort of map to go along with our topic.  If you have any ideas for either please comment so we can get started!  The last thing we have is a digital story.  I am a little confused as to what lesson plans we use for this, the ones  we made maybe? Anyways, lets get the ball rolling so we can finish all this by Sunday! Thanks

Courtney


*UPDATE*
The document is started and both of you have been added.  You can edit, leave comments, and chat with others as they are adding work to the document.  I started the description and gave suggestions but feel free to throw ideas out.  Please comment on this thread or leave a comment in Google Docs if you don't get how to use the document and I can help.

Web Sites and Lesson 1

What are you guys using for your three web sites and lesson 1??  I know it is Memorial Day weekend, but we aren't allowed to use the same websites as each other.  I am getting all of this done today so post what you are using on this post.

Final Concept Map

Concept Map Suggestions

Let me know if you have anything to add or remove. The module for this week on D2L mentions to just post our final here, so if there is nothing else you ladies think we should add then this is our final.  Let me know!

Here is a concept map to just give you an idea of what I was thinking for the direction of this project.  I commented on Courtney's post below, so check out my ideas there and then take a look at this link.  It is just an idea, but the website (bubbl.us) is really easy to use when making concept maps.  It is a read-only version, but just take a look and let me know what you think.

Concept Map

Thanks Megan!
Okay so do you all have any ideas for the concept map. It is due Sunday, so we really need to come up with a big project we can do..

Reading reflections

Hey girl, 

They are done individually and then you comment on two others from the class!

Concept Map/Reading Reflections

Okay, I commented on Megan's posting about an idea for our big project.  Let me know what you think and I can do our draft of the concept map that is due this Sunday.  Also, are we all suppose to do reading reflections or is it a group thing as well.  The instructions confused me when it said "respond to two other groups' postings".  Makes it sound like each group does one posting, but my guess is that it is individual.

I think I have an idea!!

Hello girls,
This is my first time ever using a blog, so please bare with me!!! I have been thinking of several ideas for our overall project for local history. This is an idea I am still trying to work through but, I was thinking we could do some sort of scavenger hunt of some very important land marks in kalamazoo or the western part of the state and we could have them research or do something fun an informational with them. This may be a terrible idea but just a thought! Let me know what you think!?
Thanks,
Megan

Projects Coming Up

Girls, we need to think of a big project that has to do with our topic local history that students could do in a classroom.  We will eventually be making a website on this topic that will have our podcast, lesson plans and information on it.  This project or topic will be the main topic of our concept map we have to make soon. Any suggestions?
