Class Wiki


I'm excited that we've brought another technology tool to our class. It's great because it allows students to make additions and changes and engage in discussions about a variety of topics.

It's off to a good start with students beginning to look to the wiki for information and ideas. I'm hopeful that the class will take a more proactive approach in adding content.

Please visit the wiki here.

Red Fern Chapter 13

Today we read an intense chapter where a character dies. How did hearing about Rubin's accident make you feel?
What feelings do you think were going through Billy's mind as he walked home after the accident?

Why do you think it was important for Billy to go to the Pritchard's to lay flowers on his grave?

Please add your responses.

CUE 2007


On Friday and Saturday, I attended a conference for educators who use technology. During the conference, I attended presentations on podcasting, vodcasting and now screencasting. I learned about iMovie tips and tricks from a former ABC News camerawoman. I also learned about some of the new and exciting features of Google. Try texting weather and a zip code to 466453 (GOOGLE). See what you get back!

I'm looking forward to sharing new ideas and techniques and encouraging you to explore.

One of the important sessions I went to addressed cyber safety in the world of social-networking.

See you on Monday!
Mr. Moon
