Thursday, October 4th

Well, we've made it through the first months of Mr.Boyles history class! :)

Yesterday in class we went to the media lab. We split up into our groups for the Ed Cafe and made a presentation on Google Docs. Our group was working on the Continental Congress. I thought it was really cool that you could all work on a presentation together. That's definitely going to help in other classes with projects and other things. That's what I like about this class. Yes, the projects can be a pain but the tools we're learning to use are going to be very helpful. The only thing that was a problem with our presentation was the constant refreshing of the page. we had to type everything in Word and then paste it into the presentation.

Today in class we did another Ed cafe. I didn't like this one quite as much as the other. Since everyone didn't have as much knowledge about the subjects that were being discussed it was hard to keep a conversation of argument going. I liked the other ed cafe better because you were allowed to be much more opinionated instead of fact based. There was a lot to write down with this one too which was hard depending on how fast the person was talking. But i liked it better than being lectured. Overall, decent class!
