It's really hard to believe that this year is almost over. I want to be sure that I train these students using the technology on the Macs at school. For daily grades, I am monitoring their progress and work ethic on breaking down Chapter 13 into dynamic presentations. There are many skills that go into creating one of these presentations. I have the computers reserved for the rest of this week, and I am very impressed with the work of all the students. Even students who dislike book work are finding they have special talents.
The test grade will come from the final project with it's features of music, transitions and content.
Take a look at an unfinished presentation that belongs to Kandice Price.
