Our+Original+Ideas

So we originally planned on working with second graders on the importance of reading. We had a lot planned, make podcasts, work on blogs, videos, public service announcements etc. We thought we were set and we were happy about it. We went in the first couple of times and worked on their blogs, but we had some bumps in the road. One of the first bumps was not being able to use some of the tools that we wanted in the classroom because of security limitations. We tried several different blogging websites that we found that were made especially for educators and students. The websites were blocked so we had to resort to something we did not want to use. You will see all of these resources in our technology tools tab.

That was a small bump but get ready for a big one because here it comes. Two days before we went into the classroom to implement some of our main parts of our project, the teacher changed our whole plan. We are now working on Biographies.
