Week 4: Week of November 26, 2012: Blabberize, Voki and GoAnimate, Oh My!
Friday, 11/30/12:
1. You are behind schedule if you did not finish the Blabberize, Voki, and GoAnimate questions and submit them either Tuesday or Wednesday. Since I
made clear on Wednesday (see below) that this was due, you will be losing points for each day that it take you to get it turned in. It would be advisable
to get this completed as soon as possible.
2. So far, only TWO students have submitted the Blabberize project (see items #3 & #4 from Tuesday). Do your best to get this completed by the end
of class today. If you do not, please plan to work on it for homework over the weekend.
3. If you have finished everything, you may work on Extra Credit for either Science or Technology class. Check out the "In the News" page and the "Extra
Credit Form".

Monday, 11/5/12:
1. We are going to skip ahead to "Thing 5 - Suite Tools" and look at Google Drive. Many of the comments on the survey you took last week said that you
found 21 Things to be confusing. I am going to try to help make it less confusing for you this term. We will be doing other things, but we are not going
to give up on 21 Things completely, so you will have to pay attention and ask questions when you feel confused and/or overwhelmed.
2. Today, start out on the 21 Things website and click on Thing 5 - Suite Tools.
3. Read the first page of the "thing" completely. If you already have a Google account, click on "Green Arrow" link to learn how to navigate Google Drive.
If not, you can sign up for an account (see me if you do not have permission from your parents to do this).
