Tuesday, October 16th

Yesterday in class we presented our projects on the people from the american revolution we were assigned. i did not mind the information part of the project like the voice thread and the presentations and actually quite enjoyed listening to some of the presentations and different people i did not know about. However, i personally think having to draw a person was completely unnecessary  I am in no way an artistic person. i never will be and that's just the facts. i spent more time drawing the person then on the factual part of the project. but in the end, everyone had to do it. Students do as teachers say, and that's how to cookie crumbles.

Today in class we were paired by the definitions we were handed upon entering the class and learned about the Declaration of Independence. Each group got a section to summarize and then create a fake twitter post. after you made the twitter post you then had to take everyone else and put them into a single website to make one url for 6 websites. there was so much room for technical error in today's lesson that I feel as though we spend much more time dealing with technology than the actual project. I didn't mind it since it was last period and I was much looking forward to going home, but it was cool to see the different ways you can use technology. I wonder where Mr.Boyle finds all of his websites. does he make them? who knows. hes just to tech savvy for all of us.
