Final Inspiration

This is our team's final inspiration concept map.

More Website

Hi ladies...I'm off to work and won't be home until around 10 to finish up my last page. I just realized that we still need to put the standards on our site, too. So if either of you have time to do that I would appreciate it. Not trying to push it off on you but by the time I get home I don't know that I'll have time.
Thanks and I'll get a hold of you both when I'm home and online working on my stuff.

Website

Hey girls...just getting a little bit ahead and signed up for our website. I had to sign up for a team gmail account, and it is localhistorywmu@gmail.com, password history3470. The website url is:

https://sites.google.com/site/localhistorykalamazoo/

There isn't anything on it yet except what's already in the template. We can change template/theme if you want later on...I just picked something quick. So it's started and we can start working on it any time!

Podcasts

Hey!
If you guys are going to be around tonight I plan on starting on this weeks work.  I think for the podcasts we can just talk about the things that we did our lessons on.  We will need to figure out an order they will go in since they have to flow together.  Also we need to use concepts from the book, and we can't use the same ones.  Let me know if you have any other ideas.  I will be gone this weekend, so I will be doing everything in the next few days.

We will use this map to show our students where their ePals are at.  This map will let our students see just how far away their ePals are.

Virtual Pen Pals Assignment

Document- Virtual Pen Pals Assignment

Here is our group's Virtual Pen Pals Assignment that we completed in google documents.
Group: Maggie Hausmann, Kari Collins, Kelsey VanSlembrouck

Virtual PenPals, Google maps, and Digital Story

Hey ladies...we have a lot to do this week and should probably get a start on it. We need to think of an assignment (staying within our topic) that we would do with our class to demonstrate global awareness, and then make a google map to go along with that. What kind of assignment should we do?
Then we need to each make a minute long movie on different topics that would introduce a lesson in our unit. Do you think it would be okay to just stick with the topics we did our lesson plans on?
Let me know what you guys think!
