WELCOME BACK!!
I hope you all had an enjoyable spring break! We now have 8 weeks left of school!! Here's what is on the agenda for today:

• Review blog post--see below
• Digital Storytelling
• What is it?
• Instructions for first project

Review So Far

I want you to create a new blog post on your blog.  So far this term, we have covered the following topics:

• Google Docs
• Wikis
• Assistive Technology
• Electronic Portfolios

In your blog post, I want you to give a brief description of what they are and how they can be used.  The post should be in paragraph form (each topic could be a new paragraph), and use proper grammar and spelling.  Remember, I's need to be capitalized, u and r are not words;-)

Spring Break

Read the Article from Time Magazine about spring break.  Thinking about what you learned in Online A about your digital footprint and Internet Safety, answer the following questions:

1.  The article said that there is no "firm" data that this is true...what do you think?
2.  How would you feel if someone (friend or possibly stranger) put a picture or video of you on the web doing something embarrassing or illegal??
3. After constantly hearing about why social networking is "bad" or "dangerous", is it nice to see something positive come out of  popular social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube?? Explain.
