CLASSTOOLS' FAKEBOOK

Interested in doing an awesome technology project that most of your students will enjoy doing rather than a written report?  Well try Classtools' Fakebook.  It can be found at the following URL:
http://www.classtools.net/fb/home/page .  Here you'll find a template that your students will fill in and the result will look amazingly like a Facebook page. 
Use "Fakebook" to chart the plot of a book, the development of a character, a series of historical events, the debates and relationships between people, and so on!  Get started by entering a name at the top of the page. Then proceed to add friends, posts, comments and profile information.  You can save your work and edit it again later.  You can also embed your Fakebook into your blog as I have below.  In my Fakebook I took on the identity of native American artist, R.C. Gorman.  I gave him friends that he communicated with according to what I discovered about him such as his father being a code talker.  So I added Mr. Keith Little as one of his friends.  Mr. Little, by the way, was a real code talker in WWI.  It's easy to upload URLs for websites and even Youtube videos.  This can be the ultimate in "Creative Reports."  If you want to see the original one online without the advertising on the side, go to the following address: http://www.classtools.net/fb/99/TBPPX5 .

TECHNOLOGY BLOG AND TUTORIALS

Principals, lead teachers and media coordinators attended a workshop
presented by Larry Hewett regarding the use of technology tools in the
classroom.

The link below includes 2 tutorial videos (note they can be expanded to
full screen), and a link to Larry Hewett's educational technology blog.

The above link connects to a wonderful wiki filled with almost everything you want to know about integration of technology.  Why not try it out?

YOUTUBE VIDEOS

Even though YouTube is blocked in the Columbus County Schools system, that doesn't mean our students don't look at it while at home.  Here are a few special videos that I did and uploaded to YouTube.
