Week 7-Movie Maker
This week project sounds like an interesting one! We get to make a movie! Each one of us needs to pick a specific topic related to weather and we can't use the same one, so let's make sure and post which one we are using so we don't have duplicates!
Looking ahead: Alyssa, do you want to do the second version of our concept map? It is in Week 8 module. If not, I can do it. Let me know by Thursday of this week if you want to do it this time. If not, I will download it on Friday. Thanks!

WEEK 6
ALMOST HALF WAY THERE! :)
Alright, since this week is an individual assignment, there is nothing we really need to communicate about. However, between Amy and Alyssa, you two should figure out who is going to download Inspiration the second and third times.

Assignments for Week 5
Using TaskStream, the students will create a lesson plan involving online research with hot list, media specialist showing students how to create something in technology, and integration of safe surfing.
Each of us this week will make a lesson plan using Taskstream. All of our lesson plans have to be on a different aspect of our project. Our concept map has lots of ideas for possible lesson plans.
Since this week we are working indivdually on different lesson plans, the deadline day doesn't matter as much. Let's just make sure that before we start working on your lesson plan that you post your idea up here so no one does the same one.
Also, if we move our deadline to Friday, is that a good compromise? Another thing that I think might help our group work is that if each person could check in at least every day for at least 5 minutes while we are planning our ideas for each assignment that week. That way if someone has a question about something, we can help each other out.
I know we are all busy (I have 2 kids, one on the way, taking 16 credit hours, working, the whole gammit:), but I think at least 5 minutes a day will keep everyone updated and together on our goal for this project.
What do you all think? Please post your opinion!

Google Map
WEATHER AROUND THE WORLD
View Weather Watchers in a larger map
The google map that our students created consists of the weather & climate reports of six different places around the world. Our students communicated via e-pals with students from these locations getting weather reports for 5 days and these are the results of their investigation into weather around the world.

Assignments for this week
How does this sound?
Google Documents: Make the final decisions about how we will incorporate e-pals and google maps to allow students to be able to see the differences between different areas of the world. Then, polish it up so that it is ready to submit.
Google Map: Each one of us pick two locations from around the world (let's try to make them as different as possible) to represent a group in our classroom and include the information on the map. I already included Kalamazoo as a reference point for our classroom. I will pick two other locations though.
Let's try to get this done by Thursday night as we agreed for our deadline!
