::: SJS Blog Project :::

To prepare the students for a project similar to the “15 Things” pproject we did last quarter, I demonstrated to students how to use the digital camera.  I taught one student, guided him in taking a picture, and let him off.  I instructed him to teach the next person in line (class #2) and then that person teaches the next one … and so on and so forth.  I just had them take pictures of the computer screens of their classmates while they’re posintg on their blogs.

Once everyone has experienced using the camera, we will start with the Photo Blogging project using their English vocabulary words as the target “things” for the image subjects.

We’re using an “old” SONY Digital Camera – DSC-S30.  It’s a 1.3 MegaPixel camera — top of the line about 5 years ago!    Now, it’s still perfect for taking pictures for posting on the web.

Welcome back to a new week of blogging!  If you haven’t completed your blog cleanup, do so now!  Remember … look back on Blog Activity #9B and backwards to see what you missed — what you need to catch up on.

If you’re done with the clean up, we will have Blog Sharing on Thursday — show and tell — all blogs will be displayed through our projector.

Also, you can start writing for Blog Activity #10B:

• What have you been doing in Math class?  How do you like your current topics/activities in this class?  If there’s one thing you can change about what you’re doing in Math class to make it even better for you, what would it be?  Why?
• Think about the same questions above for:  Science, English, Social Studies, P.E., and Computer Classes.

Okay … that’s it for now.
