Merit Week 7 - 9

I had Friday off as a furlough day so I did not write in my blog. I am thinking about a blog for my social studies class as a 3rd project. Should I start a forum for ideas?

I don't want to think about the negatives but I have had one computer stop working and no response on the call ticket I sent in. I have two computers that won't load Google Earth so I can't really start that project. The two apple computers I have been promised have yet to be delivered.

My students are becoming lax about their blogs. Should I have them present their blogs to the class? Maybe that would perk things up.

I am thinking about reading holiday picture books with the class to the K/1 classes next door. Perhaps by then we can make podcasts for them.

I really want to do the facebook famous mathematicians project. Has anyone set up these forms?

Any ideas for 3rd projects?
