My class of 6th graders is only 9 strong, but we have accomplished much in these short weeks. They have created a brainstorming document of ways to create a presentation to help younger students, which we will possibly begin creating in the next week. Then, the students created an "All About Me" Powerpoint which they will present today in class, with all peers giving feedback to each other (as well as teacher feedback, of course!) We have explored the online presentation software Prezi. This software has a few more bells and whistles than Powerpoint and is a little different to manipulate, so once we have a few more basics down, the students will begin creating their "how to" 'video'/presentation for younger students in Prezi.
My goal as the technology teacher is to teach these 6th graders as many useful web tools as possible before the 9 weeks is over. There are so many out there that if I just expose them to a handful, many many more will be familiar enough to search out and use in the years to come.
