Reseach+is+fun

I started a new wiki page for our workshop.

I really think the goal is to do the workshop, but also to get that verrazzano book written.

Should we work out a way to send a few other groups - 1 at a time to finish so they look good and more finished? I can send 4 kids- 1on 1 they can get it looking good in like 10-15 minutes. Feel free to send kids down whenever we have a break. The calendar and schedule are posted, so you can check. I can send you a copy of the library schedule for your files. Do I need passwords for the VoiceThread? I will dig out info about the book contest. We may have missed this deadline, but can hold on to it until next year. Entires have to be postmarked by March 15.

Outline - Should be start with Big Six and the folder - Sounds good. I can put together a small, short explanation of BIG6, and bring a folder for each participant to mark up and take.

Do you want to show your notebook? What Notebook? Did I have one for your class? I will look or make a new one. It had something about birds making a nest?????

Walk them through the steps And they can mark up folder as we go

Show some of the kids folders ( Kept them) Cool! That always makes an impression

Show voice threads. Talk about how to do that??? Yes, I think we need to show what Voice Thread can do and how to use it. That should take time! I will get in and play again. I think I know my password, wil figure it out. I will play this weekend. Thoughts? I'll dig out my packet from the conference where I learned this. Will work on it this weekend, and keep this wiki informed!
